I ordered quaker oats amounting to rs. 255/- from flipkart on 10/04/2020. Item was delivered on 14/04/2020. When i opened the box i found the packet in damaged condition. I tried calling the customer care on the same day i. E on 14/04/2020 to lodge the complaint about the damaged product received. However, due to nationwide lockdown no customer support executive was available on telephone and the recorded message was requesting to raise the compliant from my orders on the app itself.
I tried to raise the compliant through my orders however, that services also were unavailable due to lockdown. I tried to contact through my chats on 14/04/20, 15/04/20, 19/04/20, 21/04/20, 24/04/20, 28/04/20, 03/05/20 & 06/05/20. Attached are the screenshots of my chats. On 06/05/20 while chatting i got reply saying to write e-mail for your queries. Immediately on the same day i. E 06/05/20 i wrote e-mail informing about the damaged product issue and requested to collect it and refund my money. However, i was shocked to see the reply stating that the product has no return policy and hence the seller cannot fulfill your return request.
Again i sent e-mails stating all the facts and attaching all the relevant screen shots of my chats/proof on 07/05/20, 08/05/20, 09/05/20 & 10/05/20 and even called the customer care twice informing that i was trying to contact but your services were unavailable due to lockdown. Inspite of explaining the whole issue and sending the relevant proof/screen shots of chats still they are not ready to accept their mistake and are saying that the product has no return policy and i am complaining about the issue after 10 days of product delivery and hence we cannot consider the refund request.in past also i received damaged product that was an cat food item and the same was also not having any return policy but since i received the item in damaged condition flipkart has collected the item and refunded my money.
It is indeed very much incorrect to blame the customer when the party knows that the customer was trying to contact so many times but their services were unavailable. If there was no customer care support to take the complaints than why flipkart have started the delivery of essential items. They should have not started the delivery of essentials if they don’t have sufficient staff to take complaints of the customer. I highly object to the replies of flipkart and want my refund at any case.
