Amazon India — received samsung galaxy note 9 non working dummy phone

Address:Thane, Maharashtra, 421002
Website:amazon.in

I placed an order with Amazon.in during great indian festival on 25th October 2018, Order #[protected]. I placed an order with Samsung Galaxy S6 phone in exchange. The product cost was 84900 and after exchange I paid Rs 75400 from my credit card.

I received the product on 30th October 2018. Since some videos were circulating on facebook that companies like flipkart and snapdeal are selling fake products so I thought to record the unboxing video of delivered product. But it turns to nightmare when i found non working dummy phone. I immediately called up and emailed amazon customer care team and shared the pictures and video url as the video size was too big to be attached in email.

I got reply from amazon that they will carry out of the investigation and asked me to contact on or after 13th November 2018. I called up on 13th November to confirm the status and I was assured that the wrong product will be picked up on 14th November 2018. The courier guy Himanshu Thakur came and picked the product but within 5 minutes he came back and returned the product to me and told that he has not received any confirmation over email hence he will not take the product and after sometime I received a pickup cancelation message.

After sometime I received a call from Devendra Choudhary called me to confirm whether the product was picked. I explained entire thing and he assured that he will rearrange the pickup by end of the day. I called him in the evening to confirm but he said his shift is over and he can't do anything.

I called up Amazon customer care team and got to know the different story. I was informed by escalation team member Rohit that as per investigation report Amazon delivered the correct product and now they can't do anything and refund or replacement is not possible at all and I was told that I can take whatever action I can. Now my Rs 85000 at stake because Amazon can't do anything.

I am attaching the google drive link where o[censored]nboxing video. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kuQPg9VDJpFCeXvVBo-rm7ur3-ziFQ_B

I request this forum to help me in this issue.

Amazon customer service team is not ready to agree that there was any mistake from there end. They are stuck to their point that they cannot initiate refund or replacement as they sent correct item. Like me, one more customer has raised the similar complaint against Amazon and he got same revert like me. I am based in Mumbai and he's based in Agra so this cannot be a coincidence. I urged Amazon customer service team to trace the phone with IMEI number but they are not reverting to this particular question. Now I feel that I shouldn't have done online shopping and should have visited Samsung store atleast I don't have to fight with them for a days.

Seller sent me non working dummy phone for Samsung galaxy note 9 and now Amazon is blaming me. Amazon feels that if they take action against seller or carrier then this may impact their goodwill that's why they are not helping me. amazon carried out investigation but not ready to trace the phone with the IMEI number. This is a clear case of cheat. If correct item was sent then they Amazon shouldn't hesitate to trace the item.

I think we can connect together and move consumer court against Amazon. Please email me at abhinav.[protected]@gmail.com if you would like to take this further.
