Ordered the google pixel 2 smartphone on the morning of 8th of december. Original price - 61000, flat discount - 11001, additional discount of 10000 for all debit and credit cards which brings down the total price to 39999, which is solely the reason i purchased it instantly. The delivery was promised (Flipkart assured product) on 16th december. But i immediately noticed that using my debit card did not avail the offer and i had to pay rs 49999 which is rs 10000 more. So i called the help centre, they acknowledged the issue and asked for 48 hours to investigate the matter. I was promised that the team handling the issue would contact me back in the said period. After waiting for 2 agonising days, i called them only to find out they had done nothing and needed 48 hours more. Keeping my calm, i let them have the additional time, only to find a message later asking an extension for 24 hours. After calling them after the waiting period, it was the same story all over again. Each time the agent would apologise, ask me the entire story, said he or she was noting down the entire complaint (Even though they could see in the system that it was the same initial complaint that had been placed days ago and was unresolved), put me on hold (Upto 6 or 7 minutes) and ask for additional time or give false guarantees to fix the problem by next day. Even asking for their superior and talking to the manager was in vain. After about eight calls and one week of worrying, there has been no trace of that rs 10000. They even asked for a last 24 hours when i said i'd take this to the consumer court and nothing, there was no difference in the outcome.
I posted it once before, and they conveniently marked the complaint as resolved (Because they delivered my phone) all i received was a phone call asking me the details and there has been no word since the last 4 days.
I am going to pursue this matter legally, since there seems to be no change in their attitude. Before that i will make sure this issue is made public on my facebook, twitter and instagram accounts. If flipkart thinks their customers are fools, this is the last it is happening. I'll toil day and night to make it as viral as possible, until they would regret ignoring their customers. You've already lost all your potential customers in my immediate circle, but no i'm not done. Anyone who even vaguely knows me will know of this, they'll stay with me on this, from the internet to the court.
Be ready to prepare a cheque for that 10000, my lawyer's charges as well as whatever amount i can lawfully ask for.
Thanking you, very much sincerely

Updated by Allwyn John Change the email of correspondence to [protected]@gmail.com. Flipkart is unable to perform even simple actions like sending OTP to change an email ID. That's a new low .
