Firstcry.com — Product picked up, but refund is not processed.

I ordered a product from First Cry in last August 2020. The product was damaged, so I requested to return the product. The First Cry executive came to my home and collected the product. He did not give any return receipt, but he handled return request several other times in the past and never gave the return receipt, so I did not ask for return receipt assuming that it is the process of First Cry.

Order detail:-
Order Number: 3733534ZUE6987FCF Return ID: 11818371

First cry executive detail who picked up the product from my home:-
Name - Praveen
Mobile number - [protected]

I did not receive refund of that until now. I have been following with First Cry for last 6-7 months and they are saying that they did not receive product. I have given them enough evidence like call record of Praveen (First Cry executive who picked up the record), his entry approval in the my gated community society, but no luck.

I live in the Gated community and every entry/exist of visitor is allowed only on the resident approval which is tracked in the MyGate app.

I am attaching a snapshot of the Mr Praveen (FirstCry pick up person) who took my approval to enter in the society on 26-Aug-2020 at 1:15 PM (it is same time which I mentioned at the time of creating this complain request).

I talk to Mr Praveen also and he clearly said that he returned the product in the office, he don't know further why refund is not given. I am attaching the recorded phone call for your reference. Praveen 's entry in my society on 26-Aug-2020 between 1:00-1:30 PM (attached snapshot) and his acceptance that he did return the product in the office is enough proof.

> As per your mail we understand your concern that the pickup of the above mentioned product has been done but the refund for the same is pending hence, we would like to inform you that as we have checked that the issue has been already highlighted to the concerned team and as per the update from the concerned team is that we have already investigate with the reverse pickup team that pick up for the product is not done and we have investigated it hence, unable to investigate more so, the refund for the same is not possible we really apologise for the inconvenience caused to you.

Could you explain what kind of investigation were done, how do you come to the conclusion that product is not received? Just saying that you did not receive product does not mean that you did not pick up product. I have provided telephonic conversation record where pick up guy clearly saying that he picked up the product and confirms that he did handed over product in the office, I also provided his entry/exit timing along with gated community approval when he collected the product. Did you check record why he came in my society, for what reason he asked my approval to enter in the society.
Why do not you set up a conference call along with delivery guy whom mobile number I shared you, he is your employee, can you provide me telephonic conversation recording where pick up person Praveen says that he did not pick up product. I don't know your office where product inventory managed, but I know person who picked up the product. If you deny to refund, then you must provide proof from the person whom I am claiming that he pick up product.

What is the status of investigation? I have provided all proofs (call recording of pick up person accepting that he picked up the product, gated community entry/exit approval), he did not provide any pick up receipt as usual, so I don't have proof, but I did return the product. I don't know what scam is going on in your warehouse so they did not record my returned product and now FirstCry is denying to refund my hard-earned money. I am being to force to go to consumer court for this.

Hi,

Thank you for the response. It is now almost more than 2 weeks, so please look into this matter. I was receiving repeated automated call from the FirstCry to either cancel the return or request to pick up the product, that automated call did not have any other option, so I was not picking up the phone. In that process, I might have mistakenly did not lift legitimate call. Feel free to call me again.
