I’m reaching out to share an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience I’ve been going through with Amazon regarding a recent purchase. I wanted to walk you through the sequence of events so you can understand the extent of the issue and the mental harassment it has caused. I would truly appreciate it if you could help expedite the resolution.
1. Order Placed: On 26th September, I ordered a Daikin 1 Ton 5 Star AC with an exchange offer valued at ₹5, 000.
2. Initial Delivery Issue: The AC was scheduled to be delivered on 28th September, but the seller canceled the order just before delivery without any explanation.
3. Reorder and Wrong Product Delivered: I reordered the AC on 28th September, and it was finally delivered on 2nd October. However, the seller sent the wrong product—a 3 Star AC instead of the 5 Star AC I had ordered. Meanwhile, my exchanged AC was collected.
4. Chasing Customer Service for Replacement: Since then, I’ve been relentlessly following up with Amazon’s customer service team via calls and messages. On 6th October, I was told that the replacement would be arranged by 16th October. Though this was a long waiting period, I reluctantly agreed.
5. No Action and Miscommunication: By 15th October, there was no update about the replacement or pickup on the app. Frustrated, I reached out again via chat, where I was assured that pickup would happen on 15th October.
6. Pickup Rejected on 16th October: On 16th October, the delivery agent arrived but refused to pick up the product, claiming he was only authorized to pick up a 5 Star AC, which we obviously didn’t receive. The agent left without completing the pickup. I reported this issue to customer service, and once again, I was assured that a pickup would be scheduled for 17th October.
7. Another Delay and New Date: Now, on 17th October, no one has come for the pickup. Upon contacting customer service again, I was given a new pickup date—6th November.
8. Once again, the pickup was canceled, and a new date was given. On November 6, after waiting 1 month and 13 days, I was told to wait an additional 20 days, with a new pickup date of November 26. Tell me, is this fair, or is Amazon simply harassing its customers?
As of today:
• I have exchanged my old AC, meaning I no longer have a functioning AC.
• I am stuck with the wrong AC, which is lying in my living room.
• I have no clarity on when my refund will be processed, leaving my money stuck for nearly 60 days.
I will have been without an AC for 60 days, with the added mental stress of constantly following up with unhelpful customer service agents. This has been nothing short of mental harassment.
I would really appreciate your support in resolving this matter as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Sahil Hariani
