Background - i have placed an order for purchasing kevin 40inch smart tv from amazon on 27th april 2019 for inr 16, 999. I got the product delivered on 05th may 2019. The installation of the tv is completed through amazon on 07th may 2019.
Subsequently, i faced problems in getting audio (Sound) from tv. When i switch on tv, i get the sound. However, when i change channel, the sound stops (Irrespective of the channel i am in). At first i thought its a problem with my tata sky. However, it worked well with my old tv. Later, i called amazon customer care people informing of the issue on 08th may 2019. They have scheduled an inspection visit on 10th may 2019. On such date, the authorised inspection guy came and checked the tv. He asked me to buy a new hdmi cable, as he felt there might be some issues with my current hdmi cable. As per his suggestion, i immediately purchased a new hdmi cable through amazon, which got delivered to me on 09th may 2019. However, the issue didn't resolve even with the new cable.
I contacted amazon customer care people again. They again scheduled inspection visit. The same person visited again on 12 may 2019. He checked the tv and said he can't do anything and need to replace the tv. He also said he would update amazon team on this and i can contact them after 4 hours.
To my surprise, when i contacted customer care people after 4 hours, they told me that the inspection guy on both visits reported that the issue is resolved and there is no problem with tv. What??? To this, i had a very heated argument with amazon customer care people.
They don't trust their customer (Me) when i say that tv is not working. I asked on process to raise a complaint against the technical visit as i do not agree with the report given, to which they responded there is no mechanism for me to raise a complaint and the decision of amazon on this is final.
I fail to understand as to how amazon has no faith or trust in its customers. All i asked is to get the product returned as i need to return the product within 15th may 2019. I have seen online in few consumer forum pages that similar issues are being faced by customers regarding amazon inspection visits. Even when customers are really facing issues, the amazon inspection teams are giving clean reports and amazon is not taking any further action.
So in effect, amazon is selling faulty products to its customers and in spite of they being notified within timelines for returning the products, they are not taking appropriate action, but refusing to believe customer.
My ask - i want the product to be return and fair inspection be done as i believe everyone would agree with me that any television has two essential qualities (1) audio output and (2) video output. One without the other is a waste. My tv does not produce audio output 9 out of 10 times.
Amazon India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
