I've ordered the wrong tv because of YOUR confusing product description on flipkart website and no help from CS.
do check the links and the details that i've provided, you'll understand better of what i'm referring to.
-i got NO help from customer "SUPPORT" in resolving my doubt.
-and now i find out that the android tv that i want is actually rs.2000/- CHEAPER than the one i've mistakenly bought because of your incompetence.
-the 1080p NEITHER SAYS YES NOR NO about wifi-VERY CUNNING flipkart!!you guys very cunningly set a trap for someone to get confused and buy an outdated tv for an extra 2k when one could buy a better one for a cheaper price.
-if a customer has queries and calls up Customer support for help, the CSR should LISTEN to, UNDERSTAND and PROBE the customer, educate him about all product details, discuss the variants PROACTIVELY to AVOID confusion and help him make a decision,
and not just worry about wrapping up the call asap!
-'GO LOOK AT THE SPECS' IS NOT GREAT ADVISE to a customer if he tells you that he's ALREADY LOOKED at them and is doubtful because the description is awful.
okay, details now:
In september 2nd week(2016) I researched over the internet about good options and decided that Vu 32 inch LED was the one that i wanted especially because it was an android tv and had built in wifi.

So i searched for the 'VU 32 inch LED tv' on google,
Flipkart seemed to offer a good deal.
On flipkart, i found out that there were 2 variants of the VU 32 inch LED tv! (that was new info for me then!)
one was 768p priced 14990/-

and the second 1080p for 17990/-

i found just the above variants then.only 2.thats it.
(i say this because there is a 3rd variant with built in wifi which i actually wanted which comes for approx the same
price as the above 1080p)
The one with 1080p seemed to be better than 768p-because obviously, the resolution!
and i had already previously learnt over the internet that it was an android tv and had built in wifi.

Back to flipkart website,
I noticed that the specs for the one with 768p clearly said that it DID NOT have built in wifi.
okay, thats some new info again now.

But i also noticed that the specs for the one with 1080p NEITHER SAID YES NOR NO about built in wifi.
And here arises the confusion now.

I wanted to clarify if the VU 32 inch LED tv with 1080p had built in wifi or not as i had chosen this tv especially because it was
an android tv and had built in wifi.
So i called up Flipkart Customer "support", got through to a CSR after a lot of tries btw!
I explained that i was looking at the two variants, one with 768p and the second with 1080p.
I also explained that I noticed that the specs for the one with 768p clearly said that it DID NOT have built in wifi.
and that the specs for the one with 1080p NEITHER SAID YES NOR NO about built in wifi.
CSR acted very uninterested, did not even try to help, i know that she did not even open up the product details on her PC
and did not even have a look at what i was talking about-i know this because she never even once asked me about what
specific products i was referring to.
she did not want to get into details and advised me that i go look at the specifications!
Girl!do you even realize why i am calling CS in the first place!?
I mean, come on!did you even listen to what i have been talking about till now?
wow, very dissappointed now, i disconnect the call.
CSR proved to be utterly useless and a sheer waste of time, she just wanted to wrap up the call.
I felt very unwanted as a customer.query was left unresolved.
I tried calling CS again, could not get through to a CSR.
I did not quite have the patience to call CS again, then after multiple tries, get through to a useless CSR
and waste more time and energy and get even more frustrated.
So after sometime, assuming that poor flipkart may have 'forgotten' to mention if the 1080p tv had wifi connectivity or not,
unlike how it clearly told us about the 768p variant,
i went ahead and booked the VU 32 inch LED tv with 1080p
link-https://www.flipkart.com/vu-80cm-32-full-hd-led-tv/p/itme9zkgpeyu8fnz?pid=T...⇄
i paid through a debit card.
The product was delivered on monday-19th sep 2016, it was installed on wed-21st sep 2016
-unfortunately I was absent during installation, my mother got it done, so i couldnt have a word with the technician.
then today, i try to check how my new tv works, all good till now, then i wonder how i connect the wifi,
i call up vu CS, and boom! i learn that the tv i ordered has no internet connectivty, no apps, nothing.
and that there are actually 3 different variants of the 32 inch amongst which
one is the 768p and the second 1080p-both without internet connectivty and the 3rd 1080p with internet connectivity.
surprisingly, on flipkart, between the two 1080p variants, the one WITH internet connectivty is 2k cheaper than the one without!
how idiotic!
I generate a return and exchange request, get a call from flipkart, i explain the situation, get a typical negative answer.
I've ordered the wrong tv because of YOUR confusing product description on flipkart website.
do check the links and the details that i've provided, you'll understand better of what i'm referring to.
-Why DIDN'T you guys clearly state in the product description that the tv i would be ordering DID NOT have built in wifi?
-then why DID you bother stating in the product description that the 768p tv DID NOT have it?THEN why bother?-this confused me.
-i got no help from customer "support" in resolving my doubt.
-and now i find out that the android tv that i want is actually 2000/- CHEAPER than the one i've mistakenly bought because of your incompetence.
-the 1080p neither says yes nor no about wifi-VERY CUNNING flipkart!!you guys very CUNNINGLY set a trap for someone to get
confused and buy an outdated tv for an extra 2k when one could buy a better one for a cheaper price.
-if a customer has queries and calls up Customer support for help, the CSR should LISTEN to, UNDERSTAND and PROBE the customer,
educate him about all product details, discuss the variants PROACTIVELY to AVOID confusion and help him make a decision,
and not just worry about wrapping up the call asap!
-'go look at the specs'is not a great advise to a customer if he tells you that he's already looked at them and is doubtful.
-i want this issue resolved asap!i want an exchange or a refund.
