Updated by Heramb Prabhu I don’t have a single missed call on my cell no. [protected] for 28-Mar-16. Anyway I have received numerous calls on earlier occasion from Flipkart convincing me to accept refund which I have declined again and again. If you are also trying to do the same, then please don’t call.
Respond in writing with particulars for not being able to deliver me an original product. Flipkart is giving so many advertisements assuring people of selling 100% genuine product and here I have received a DUPLICATE product on 2 occasions and till date even after 1 ½ month of continuous follow-up, Flipkart has failed to replace it with original ‘MoYu Aosu 4x4 Stickerless Red’

Updated by Heramb Prabhu Flipkart is MISLEADING... issue has not been addressed. Flipkart wants me to initiate refund process and sweep CORE ISSUE under the carpet.
Flipkart has been FLEECING CUSTOMERS by announcing 50% and 90% discounts and selling DUPLICATE PRODUCTS. They have responded saying they have updated on the product page and website that as per the Terms and Conditions if the product is not genuine can provide with a complete refund.
This means they will continue attracting and misleading customers by announcing BIG DISCOUNTS and if any customer like me raises the issue of DUPLICATE PRODUCT being delivered, they will not deliver Original Product, but just give a refund.
This is EXACTLY the issue is –
• Flipkart posts ‘A PRODUCT’ originally worth Rs.4, 000/- @ 50% discounted price at Rs.2, 000/- (very attractive offer).
• Within 10 days, 1000 units are sold and in actual, as per practice, Flipkart delivers DUPLICATE PRODUCT to its customers which is not worth more than Rs.500/-
• Flipkart earned a profit of Rs.15 Lacs ((Rs.2000/- minus Rs.500 = Rs.1, 500/-) X 1000 units = Rs.15, 00, 000/-) in 10 days.
• 10% customers inform Flipkart that the product is DUPLICATE and Flipkart immediately process their refund as per now updated Terms and Conditions mentioned on the product page and website - If the product is not genuine can provide with a complete refund
• So Flipkart quickly refund Rs.2, 00, 000/- and coolly earn a net profit of Rs.13 Lacs. In 10 days.
• Those 10% customers are very satisfied with the quick refund they received and Flipkart immediately asks them to rate their services which these innocent customers don’t realize.
Hence I had requested – I don’t want refund… I want Flipkart to deliver original ‘MoYu Aosu 4x4 Stickerless Red’ which they couldn’t.
This means Flipkart is operating a big racket of selling DUPLICATE PRODUCTS and vigorously advertising – 100% Genuine Products, Ekdum Original, Bill Ke Saath…
Flipkart has thousands of products for sale on daily basis and they must be minting money like anything by selling DUPLICATE PRODUCTS. I don’t care how much they mint; my issue is that by operating a racket of selling DUPLICATE PRODUCTS, Flipkart is hurting Indian Economy and fleecing innocent customers.
Dear Consumer Complaints team,
Please guide me in creating awareness regarding this Flipkart racket of selling DUPLICATE PRODUCTS and fleecing customers. I will definitely create awareness using the social media but humbly request your guidance in creating greater awareness in INDIA.
Thank you for your support and look forward for your guidance.
