Dear Sir,
Lastly I had to sit with pen & paper to lodge a serious kind of consumers’ affair related problem against a brand name like Flipkart which I never dreamed of. Our Hon’ble PM Sri Narendra Modiji is inspiring Indians to go for cashless economy, online shopping etc – really a brilliant effort. But if the big brand name like “Flipkart” cheats the customer like me then what will happen with an illiterate person who are not in position to lodge a complaint in black and white.Officially I will also put a complaint at http://consumerhelpline.gov.in/ shortly. I will also post at important facebook pages to spread my experience
As per official record from Flipkart a couple of weeks back I placed an order (ID: OD[protected] for the cosmetic item “Olay White Radiance Advanced Whitening Moisturiser - SPF 24 PA++ (75 ml)” with the offer price ₹999 (₹1, 224) 18% off. The seller was “Purvas Shoppe”. On delivery I noted that it was completely a wrong item from that same Olay Company “Olay White Radiance Advanced Whitening Brightening Intensive Skin Lotion SPF 24 UVA/UVB (75 ml)” [here the printed MRP is ₹ 999, which is accidentally the same as the offer price for the ordered one – here is the fallacy in terms of price intelligently exploited]. So I brought it to the notice of Flipcart team immediately and they readily agreed to replace the item. But to my surprise I noted that same wrong item was delivered at my door step – so another replacement – and sorry to mention here that again the same blunder happened “Delivery of wrong item”. At this point I want to mention specifically that before the 2nd time replacement I requested Flipkart to intimate the seller “Purvas Shoppe” with a strong note for delivering the correct item (as per the telephonic conversation with Flipcart Customer Service - they did). And this time when I again contacted the customer service (Member “Neha” and also escalated customer service) they directly told that Flipcart would not replace anymore.
At this point I would ask, in a very humble way, the highest authority of Flipkart, Mr Sachin Bansal – does it not fall within the limit of responsibility of Flipcart to take care of the interest of its customers till the real-time resolution of the “Delivery of Correct Item” is executed? I think it should be so particularly when your company Flipcart is promoting and selling the item of a seller through monitory transaction – hope you will also agree. If Flipcart fails to perform such duty, why your house is promoting and selling the item of such kind of fraud seller and you cannot deny legally as well as ethically that your company Flipcart has only given the loyal permission to sell the items of such kind of seller!! Anybody cannot canvas their products through your platform without your official permission – Am I wrong from any point of view? And mind it refund policy is not the right solution of every problem, you can refund my money but you cannot refund my faith on your system which I cultivated during past days – you lost it. And mind it “little drops of water make a big ocean” ..apparently it is nothing, but it is something to throw slow impact on your reputation.
What is more alarming the clear-cut discrepancy between the description of the item highlighted in cash memo and delivered item – the cash memo is categorically indicating the ordered item as “Olay White Radiance Advanced Whitening Moisturiser - SPF 24 PA++ (75 ml)” while the cartoon of the delivered item is supporting the item as something else “Olay White Radiance Advanced Whitening Brightening Intensive Skin Lotion SPF 24 UVA/UVB (75 ml)” – this is the instance of violating the interest of a consumer which I want to bring in notice of the Consumers’ affairs department of Govt of India.
So I will request our Hon’ble PM before implementing cashless economy (in fact I am the blind supporter of it), online shopping etc please make it ensured whether our national platform is ready to accommodate the desired changes within the limit of public tolerance or not. Faith, dependence – all these things do not come in a single day –they are the outcome of long driven processes.
I furnished all the necessary documents attached herewith.
Flipkart customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
