[Resolved]  Flipkart — Fake sales

Address:	411006
Website:	www.flipkart.com

Just like other online shopping websites, Flipkart too had a Republic Day sale. I for reason chose Flipkart for ordering my Canon DSLR camera. They really lure you on these sales with heavy discounts.

My order ID is: OD[protected]
Placed the order on: 25 January, 2017 5:03 PM
For Rs. Rs. 28495 though EMI.
On top of this, there was 10% cashback applied on Citibank Credit cards.

After placing the order, I was told that my order will be delivered by Feb 18. (yes, that's right, 24 days to ship a product from mumbai to pune). Anyways, so I started calling Flipkart every 2 days to know the status of delivery and to ask why is it taking so long. Every time they kep assuring me that the product is in stock and will be shipped soon and will arrive and requested me to be patient.

I eventually made peace with such a long delivery time. But After that, on Feb 3, finally I got an SMS stating that my order has been cancelled. After calling flipkart to ask why this happened, all I got was "This was cancelled by seller and we can not do anything about it. Please place another order".

The prices are now increased to ₹31, 100 and I have lost the 10% cashback offer too. That is a loss of Rs. 5, 454 for me.

I wish I had not chosen Flipkart over other shopping websites. These guys promote sales but can't really handle sales. I would like to tell everyone who is reading this, do not trust Flipkart. In case of any issues, their customer service will just listen to you calmly and repeat the same words - "we cant do anything about it, sir".
