My concern is regarding order no.:[protected] for one plus five and the order was placed on sept 23rd during your sale.
Issue:
Long story short - order cancelled and i am informed that it was lost in transit by amazon transportation services and i am expected to be a silent victim of their irresponsibility!
Details:
I had mailed twice on sept 23rd itself requesting address change and two different customer care reps gave me two different lame reasons and didn't update the address! There was a failed delivery attempt on 24th sept (It was sent to the wrong address and those reps just didn't want to update the address). My third mail to update address was on 24th sept as a reply to the previous mail sent by amazon requesting them to change the address. I sent a 4th mail again on 24th sept and at last i got a confirmation stating that the address is updated and it will be delivered to the new address in 24-48 hrs.
My friend had called the customer care regarding delivery of the product on 25th sept as the same was assured by the customer care on 24th sept. As if all this wasn't enough, customer care supervisor mr. Akash misbehaved with my friend over call, mr. Akash hung up on my friend when my friend was still speaking!! Mr. Akash assured delivery on 26th sept but took absolutely no steps to ensure actual delivery! Looks like he took steps to ensure it would never be delivered!! As per the tracking details, the product reached the correct courier facility on 26th sept early morning at 1. A. M., the product was rotting in their courier department till 29th but nobody bothered to deliver it though i kept following up, trust me it was sheer harassment to follow up with them! I was already depressed of placing this order with amazon and felt legal action was the only recourse but patiently waited for the phone to be delivered! On 29th i requested customer care to give me the address of the courier facility so that i could pick the product myself as it was there with the courier for an unusually long time! But i was not provided with the details instead one your customer care rep gave me two options to either take free replacement or refund if the order is not delivered by end of day. (Note: i had time till eod). As i did not clearly understand the options, i asked them to explain. As a reply to this mail, the next rep told me that the product is lost by amazon transportation services and consequently the courier is unable to deliver it to me!! Considering this situation, the options given to me were unacceptable as they were only favourable to amazon and not to me, i lost patience i had from the past one week as i was harassed for amazon's fault, i waited so long for something that was long lost and i was just being fooled all the time so i asked them if they prefer a legal notice from a lawyer or from consumer court! The next rep requested that if she is given final 24hrs, she will ensure that the product is delivered to me as the product was already out for delivery according to her! When i replied to this mail asking them to come to a consensus on the reason for non-delivery and if the product will be actually delivered, i received an sms saying the order is being returned!! Returned!! The time i had till end of day wasn't adhered to by those reps! To this mr. Akash from escalations team e-mails saying to assist me better, he has checked previous correspondence for the order and he can see that cancellation request has been sent for this order. Who raised the cancellation request? I did not. How did he have the authority to do this? How did this assist me? Is this the way he handles escalations by cancelling orders without customer's permission? If i wanted to return the product even without seeing it, why would i place an order? I did not request the return. As if this is not enough, he continues to say in the mail that the product won't be delivered to me and it will be returned to warehouse and he hopes that this helps me! Like really?? This person needs some basic training in handling escalations! Or maybe this is the kind of work ethics being followed in amazon india and he is just reflecting it! The last one week was just complete mental harassment to me from amazon's customer care. These customer care reps just don't care! This is a bitter experience that i will surely share with my loved ones so that i can protect them from such horrendous people that amazon india is breeding! I badly wanted the phone to gift it to my loved one but i only ended up being embarrassed and humiliated for trusting amazon! This is what amazon india will do to all its customers very soon, it ll leave them red-faced forever!
They are just taking all their customers for granted because of the increase in their customer base. I was unable to sleep because of the suffering this whole ordeal put me through! I became a victim of amazon india's unethical practices (Lying to the customer about the product status, making the customer wait endlessly, fooling, cancelling the customer's order without their fault are unethical).
Would amazon ever resolve this? If not, people take my advice and stay away from this #predator-blue-whale - amazon india, it is sure to hog us all!
