Dear Logistics Manager (Flipkart)
Please note that as the delivery was at my office address and the SMS and other communication stated that the delivery would be on Saturday (10.10.2014)before 7 pm I stayed upto 7 pm (though my office time is till 6 pm) and then left. I had no number to contact and confirm about the delivery either ways. I expected that from a reputed firm like Flipkart, I would get some information either about the delayed delivery or some information.
When I was travelling back, I received a call from Flipkart at 7.11 pm (from No. +91 [protected]) asking whether I was at the office. When I replied that I had already left after waiting, I was asked whether the item can be delivered next day. As Saturday and Sunday our office is closed, I asked this to be delivered on Monday as there was no other choice for me. I was told that it would be delivered on Monday morning.
In spite of this, I get a communication (please read mail trail-) that "looks like you were unavailable to collect it" and that the delivery would be done "on or before Saturday 11 October", I feel really cheated. I understand that this must be an auto-generated message but however, technically you will again attempt to deliver it today and claim that I was unavailable during both successive attempts. And indeed, I again get a message that we tried delivering to you on Saturday, 11.10.2014 and were "unsuccessful"!
When I talked to Mr. Abhilash from Customer Care[protected] at 1.02 pm on Saturday, he mechanically kept repeating that "I have taken your request..We will make another attempt.. " There was absolutely no attempt to even check what is the problem or whether a solution would be found bu some "human" person. I could well be talking to a robot! I understand the volume of sale is high and complaints and issues are bound to be there, but I wish there was some sensible way of replying to frustrated customers.
This whole thing tastes very unpalatable from a company of your repute. After receiving an apology on the Big Billion Day about various problems faced by customers, to receive this kind of indifferent, detached, robotic mail does not speak well for your public apology, which then means it is just another mechanical mail triggered by some input in the system.
I hope you consider reforming your logistics and response systems to continue your trust building exercise. I am sure, like me, there may be many customers who may or may not communicate their feelings and frustration.
Hope that my item gets delivered to me, after some prior phone call and in reasonable time on Monday.
Yours sincerely,
Hemant Chaubal,
