The website lists products that it has no way of delivering. More often than not, the products vary from what they are promised from in the product description. That's not all, if you make an online payment, and the company could not provide you with the product, they refund the money in terms of store credit.
I placed an order with the company (order number 3253774) which was promised to deliver in 15 working days. Upon constant reminders and follow-ups, all I received were hollow assurances and finally when I demanded either the product be delivered or my money be refunded, they decided to refund in terms of store credit, even though I explicitly mentioned against it in my communication.
This raises a few questions:-
1. Can companies fall back on their commitment to provide a product against which they have already accepted payment, without any repercussions?
2. Why do I as a consumer have to agree to purchase from the same company to get a refund on my amount? Remember, I did not return a product, the company failed to produce it.
3. 'Listing products in the first place that they cannot offer later' - is a falsification of a promise and fraud as it breaches the written intent contract between the company and the potential customer.
Here's a copy of the communication, for your reference:

Hi,
It's been a week and there has been absolutely no communication from your end apart from hollow assurances on my emails, as a pretext to resolving issues. If there are issues in delivery, why list it, least allowing customers to order it. Enough time given, I demand concrete actions now. Either deliver product or refund the amount back in my account. I DO NOT WANT STORE CREDITS.
