[Resolved]  Amazon India — used external hard disk product was sent from amazon twice

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 560050

I receive used product 'twice' from amazon seller 'appario retail pvt. Ltd., ', and 2nd time the refund was cancelled from the pick-up person, telling me 'it's a used product', as if the fault is mine.

Here is the issue:
I had ordered 4tb hdd on 23rd oct. After receiving the product i noticed that the back of the wd product was opened, since it was a used one, i asked for replacement. The replacement product which was received on 30th oct from the same seller, was worse:
- scratches all over the hdd,
- no usb cable,
- seal was open on the wd package
- no serial number on product piece.

I am fed up of talking to customer care executives and chatting several times via the amazon india app, each and every time i call regarding the refund, i have to explain about the overall issue, but they are not noting down the issue i think, even the phone calls being recorded, and they have taken this issue very lightly, and are least bothered about their customers or the products they sell.

Seller is giving out used products, and this so frustrating, when am paying from my credit card and this what i get from amazon, when something is required very urgently. I don't think i will be buying anything else from amazon india here on, for this matter.
