[Resolved]  Flipkart — Non- transparency causing breach of trust- purchase of Split AC

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Order no. OD[protected] date 18.03.2015 . Product -AC-LG LSA3AP3M 1 TON SPLIT AC After completing online order for the product on 18thMarch 2015 I received a call fromFlipkart (Mr. Ahmed) that I would be required to pay additional charges for installation and voltage stabiliser. While I agreed I made it clear no further charge be levied on the deal.The product was as scheduled delivered within time committed and soon after installation people arrived. During installation process I was asked to pay to yet another additional amount of Rs. 650/ for support bracket. I refused to pay saying that the deal is already finalised with Flipkart officials and no further payment is warranted. However, Mr. Ahmed from Flipkart again called and insisted I pay the amount to facilitate completion of installation, refusing my stand on conclusion of the deal earlier. In the inevitable situation I was left with no choice and had to pay under protest. I have been a customer of Flipkart buying a few products with satisfactory experience in the past. But, I felt cheated on this deal as making a customer pay after conclusion of the deal to me amounts to breach of trust.Please note it is not the question of making additional payment of Rs.650/ but larger issue involved is principled approach and transparent & professional disposition of your officials. Frankly speaking, I was shocked by such what I reckon unethical and unjustified approach of Flipkart forcing me to pay I was not required and liable to pay which I feel directly conflicts high market reputation Flipkart enjoys and ranks higher than its peers in professionalism, transparency and customer centric strategy. Could I expect a respectable response on high moral ground befitting to the stature of an institution of your esteem and reputation? Regards Tushar Bhattacharya cell. [protected]

Bought VOLTAS AC from FLIPKART. Order no. #OD[protected] After the delivery of my product, I got an email from Flipkart that installation will be done on Monday, 25th April 2016. I called flipkart customer care multiple(5-10) times to get the confirmation but no proper response. I took leave from my office to get this work done. But nobody has turned up. Nobody even bothered to inform me about any change. And in the end of the day i got an email from flipkart, your installation has been done successfully (off course it didn't happen). When i called the customer care again they seems to be clueless. It looks like Flipkart, Voltas and Dealer are playing games with me. Nobody wants to take the responsibility after the product is delivered. I have already highlighted this concern to the Flipkart and Voltas. But nobody is listening to me. They keep on saying we are looking into it. I want my installation to be done asap or i want my money back. they dont have return policy as well on this product.

Still waiting for my installation.
