Boat — defective boat earphones misleading warranty rejection & zero support from amazon or boat

Complaint Description:
I’m writing to report a deeply disappointing and unresolved issue involving boAt earphones purchased from Amazon India.

📦 Purchase Details:
Order Date: 12th July 2025

Delivery Date: 15th July 2025

Issue: One side of the earphones was non-functional right out of the box

When I tried to initiate a return on Amazon, the return option was not available for this item. As a result, I filed a warranty claim directly with boAt’s service center.

❌ Warranty Claim Rejected – With Conflicting Information:
The warranty claim was rejected, but the reason provided in the official Service Denial Certificate was:

“Like to like replacement of the product not available with us.”

This is a highly vague and unsatisfactory explanation for denying a warranty claim — especially for a product that was defective on delivery and had not been mishandled in any way.

🤝 Amazon's Support – Endless Waiting, No Resolution:
Following boAt’s advice, I contacted Amazon support for help. Despite several chats and calls, I have only been repeatedly told to “wait” — without any actual solution, escalation, or timeline for resolution.

😠 Summary of the Experience:
Received a defective product from day one

boAt issued a generic and unclear service denial reason

Amazon refuses to take responsibility or provide a refund/replacement

I am stuck between two companies, with no accountability from either side
What I Am Requesting:

Immediate action from both boAt and Amazon to provide a refund or replacement

Coordination between the two parties to resolve this matter professionally

Resolution Sought:
A full refund or a brand-new replacement of the defective earphones

Attachments (available upon request):

Invoice / proof of purchase

Service Denial Certificate

Screenshots and communication history with both boAt and Amazon
