Flipkart Incident ID: IN[protected]

Incident: When I opened the Flipkart package, I found that the product packaging seal was cut & the package was a bit torn. So I opened the package to see if the product is inside or not & I found that the Hard Disk Enclosure is there, but it was very light. I already own a product of this exact model with 4TB storage capacity & I knew the weight was not that light. And thus I concluded that the Hard Disk Enclosure is empty. So I immediately created a return request (Return ID:[protected]). Then I got a call from Flipkart & they inquired about my issue. They assured me that my issue will be solved on or before 22/12/18. They also told me that their team will call me to get better information regarding this issue; which they didn't. From 10/12/18 to 23/12/18, I called Flipkart maybe 3-4 times & every time I got the same response; our team will contact you soon & they will get it sorted by 22/12/18. On 14/12/18, I got a call from Flipkart & they told me that their team will contact me within 48 hours; which they didn't. Also between this duration of time, I sent several emails to Flipkart expressing my concerns. Still my return status is stuck at ""Return request received". I got another email stating that the issue will be resolved within 23/12/18 2PM. When I used your call back service, I got a SMS stating that they were unable to reach me and will contact me by 4PM. So called the flipkart customer care number from my end. On 23/12/18, I received an email from flipkart stating that "request for a replacement/refund of cannot be fulfilled by the seller as the courier partner has confirmed delivery of the item to with the product being intact.". So contacted flipkart again to explain to them that I had already mentioned that the flipkart packaging was intact, but the product packaging seal was cut. So they told me that my issue will be resolved by 27/12/18 & I'll get a call from flipkart on or before that date. On 25/12/18, I received another email stating that the product was delivered to me intact. So I decided to check the packaging & I found that there were TWO Flipkart Tapes on the package i.e. one over another. I again contacted them to check status & the superior executive informed me that I had mistakenly select as the product is missing while creating the return request. To the best of my knowledge when I created the return request there were no options resembling HHD Enclosure present but HDD inside is missing. So they told me that they had clarified this issue with their team & will provide a resolution by 27/12/18. On 27/12/18, I called flipkart again around $PM & I was informed that flipkart will contact me before 9 PM that day. After 9 PM, I again called flipkart & asked them to transfer the call to their superior. He informed me that he doesn't have to authority to take my complain & my former complain was resolved by their team; that concluded that the product was delivered intact to me. He also informed me that any resolution that is going to be provided will be from the email not from their call facility. Another thing he also mentioned that they had sent me many emails between 25/12/18 & 27/12/18; which is completely false & I have proof that I didn't receive any email during that period. I received a SMS from Bajaj Finserv informing me that the EMI amount will start deducting from my account from 02/01/2019.
Resolution: I Need Refund.

I just received another email from flipkart on 29/12/18 1:44PM, again stating the same thing i.e. "your request for a replacement/refund of cannot be fulfilled by the seller as the courier partner has confirmed delivery of the item to recipient of the order with the product being intact."
I have been telling them from 10/12/18; that I have received the package with only HDD enclosure inside without any HDD. They keep sending me the same email again & again. I mean is there no coordination or communication between any flipkart representatives? In which language or code should write to make you understand that someone opened the package, then the HDD Enclosure, then took out the HDD & put everything back together & sent it to me. If you have not properly read my email let me make it very clear to you that there were two flipkart tapes on the flipkart cardboard box packaging. So please tell your representatives to properly read the incident report before sending the same thing to me again & again. The email informed me that the delivery person confirmed the product was delivered to me intact... Give me his Name & Number; I will contact him directly.

As I was not getting any response from Flipkart, I contacted the National Consumer Helpline on 28/12/18 & they gave me a complaint no. 1074641. They told me to complain to flipkart again via their website & I got the same reply again. So I informed NCH & they told me to send my grievance via post to flipkart with the printout of my latest email conversation with flipkart. I sent them via speed post on 31/12/18 & flipkart received them on 3/1/18. Flipkart updated the NCH stating the same thing again. So today I'm going to contact NCH to get advice on taking Legal Action against Flipkart ASAP.
