I placed an order with Big Basket via their online portal on Oct 2, 2015. The bill amount came to Rs 1532. I am wary of them so I always pay by cash on delivery. This way I can keep track of the delivery and wont lose money if they dont deliver on time.
Anyway, my order was supposed to reach between 7 and 10 pm on Oct 3, 2015. A lady called me up at 4 pm and said my order will be delayed and I can expect it only the next day by noon. I said Ok. We went out and I didnt check my phone. The delivery guys called me at 1130 pm and I got a message saying they were waiting outside my gate. I was wondering why they never rang the bell if they were standing outside. Next day, morning I got the delivery. I realized to my horror that all the vegetables (diced carrots/capsicum/red cabbage/sprouts) are stale and had gone bad. How am I supposed to use them?
I logged a complaint on their Facebook page. There was a standard response from the team saying: Hi Nithya Kalyani, We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused, We will get in touch with you. Thank you.
Then after a while, I saw this message on my FB post page:
Hi Nithya. As discussed over the call hope we have addressed the issue. Thank you
They didnt call me at all. They are a fraud company and buy stuff from local vendors and mark up the prices after packaging stale food products. They also seem to have a FSSAI number! Will anybody look into it or will you wait till there is an accident or death due to their cheating behavior?
Please take action against them. There seems to be no quality testing. They are selling old and stale food products online and consumers have to pay a premium for it.
