I ordered two (2) quantities of House of quirk sofa cover on 18.10.2020
valued INR 4, 978.
Order no. :OD[protected]
I received a package on 23.10.2020 noon (or 24th) via E-kart delivery.
As I was excited to see this premier product. *I opened the package
immediately and following were the issues, I noticed:*
1. *I received only one Sofa cover instead of Order two (2) quantities*
2. Fitment issue.
Therefore, immediately I called E- kart delivery boy to check if he forgot
the package or what ? He informed me that there is no separate package and
I should complain in the Flipkart.
Within a span of 20 mins from receipt of package, I raised a complaint to
Flipkart via customer care services.
*I was informed, "since the delivery is not yet updated in the system, so
they can't help me immediately, however I shall raise the request of Return
and refund."*
I followed their instruction and put forward the return and refund request.
*When I checked my flipkart app around 28.10.2020, it showed that refund
for One quantity is accepted and for second quantity "refund is
rejected". *
I immediately raised concern to flipkart customer care. They informed me, I
need not have to worry and they will talk to Seller and arrange the
complete refund of my Invoice value (INR 4, 978) for 2 quantities.
I patiently waited till 05.11.2020. When I didn't receive the refund, I
again called Customer care and checked with them. I was reassured that I
should not focus much on the status mentioned in the app but wait for a
refund of complete INR 4, 978. I trusted them and waited.
In the late evening (05.11.2020), *I got a refund amount INR 2, 489 instead
of the promised and legitimate INR 4, 978*. When I raised my issue to the
customer care, they informed me that " there were two separate issues (as i
have highlighted above) hence two separate transactions will be there and
they are escalating my issue". *I got a phone call from senior executive
and was informed that the rest refund of INR 2489 (of the missing item,
issue no. 1 highlighted above) will be credited by 08.11.2020.*
When the commitment failed, I gave a call on 09.11.2020 to re verify where
the issue is stuck and why I am not getting my refund.
I was again informed that they are escalating the issue and probably the
refund will be credited by 19.11.2020. (almost 4 weeks from the concern
raised). Still no firm commitment from the senior executive. You may check
the call records, if legally permissible.
From 19.11.2020, it went to 23.11.2020 to the new date 27.11.2020. God
knows when this will end.
I am really frustrated by the behaviour of the Flipkart team. It is not
only about INR 2, 489 but now in addition, the mental agony. Countless times
I have briefed the case of executives and received countless number of
calls from different numbers.
It seems rather than working for a solution, it may be a strategic move to
make the customer frustrated so that he/ she gives up on the issue. You may
get angry after reading this statement but this is the state of support we
are talking about.
I have made the request for a callback from the senior team/ escalation
team number of times. However instead of getting a call back I always
received a sms stating that my number is not reachable.Network issue can
happen once or twice but not every time and that too, when I have not
received such feedback (network issue) from any of my day to day business
partners.
All this raises questions on the support team professionalism and intent.
