Amazon India — Ordering something in Amazon and getting delivered on time is a nightmare.

Address:

Kolkata, West Bengal

Can you imagine a situation when you long time dream comes true moment turns in a freaking nightmare. Amazon India just made that possible for me. I ordered couple of Lumia phones for both my parents on their independence sale. Now the delivery times of both the phones was given as a week's time. I happen to live in the heart of a metropolitan city and yet they are taking a weeks time to deliver. Moreover they have somehow managed to partner with this fine courier service Aramex, which was not able to find my house in in Kolkata, where hundreds of online delivery was made in the past. I mean, seriously!!! A simple Google map search of my address pinpoints the exact location location of my building. So after numerous long waiting calls I gave them an updated address by which I am pretty sure a blind person will be able to reach my house. Apparently, even after a complete week's time, they are "Facing some issue" with the delivery and will be delayed. Now I wonder if it is some marketing policy by Amazon to force the customers towards their one-day delivery scheme! If so, the IIM heads sitting in Amazon have found the perfect technique to piss people off. An 88 billion dollar industry with 20 years of experience in online retailing has devised a perfect way of ruin my dream come true moment. Thank you Amazon for this experience. Rest assured, the next time I order anything online, you would be the last place that would cross my mind.
