[Resolved]  Flipkart — terrible experience buying a product from flipkart, august 2017

Address:560032
Website:www.flipkart.com

I have been purchasing from Flipkart from a long time now and I have had both good and bad experiences. Some products have been delivered to me before the promised delivery time and some experience with different products and their returns and refunds. This time I ordered a product on “Fri, 11th Aug 11:46 pm Payment approved” and the delivery date was actually supposed to be “Delivery expected by Mon, Aug 14th '17” and on 14th August I see there is no update on the website and under track order it still shows only Ordered in Green and the rest (Packaged, Shipped & Delivered) in grey and there is no tracking ID yet, so I called the customer care and after a long hold she promised me the new date of delivery as 16th of August instead of 14th of August when asked for the guarantee she promised that the product will be delivered without fail by 16th and also confirmed me of sending the message and updating the same on the website in few minutes about the new delivery date. “Few Minutes lasted until 11:00 PM next day” i.e 15th August when I called the customer care again since there was no update on the website and neither I had received any message. Now the customer care fellows wants to prove me wrong and instead tell that I was promised the date of 16th for the update/new delivery date and 16th itself is not the delivery date, why are this people even recording calls if they just have to ignore what they say and just play around still there is no use of talking to the customer service my delivery status has no update and flipkart.
I am sure the product will not be delivered to me tomorrow aswell. Better to use flipkart for buying products of smaller denominations instead of putting risk in huge investments.

This is a classic problem with online shopping. Better go to a nearby store and buy what you want. Many a times these online sellers actually do not have the product in stock. They procure the product upon your order and this process delays the delivery further. I have had this experience from both Snapdeal as well as Flipkart. Since then I resort to online only as a last option if the product is not available in the local stores.

Also don't be mislead by the grand sells that occur on this sites. Remember the funda that the cheaper the product older is the stock. I once bough a RAM for just half the price and it was actually manufactured in 2010 and sold in 2017.
I am return product but mony not refund my account
16th today no one from flipkart either called nor the product is delivered. Same old spoke to the customer service team now another 2 day extension is taken for an update on product i.e 18th August 2017. I see that same seller is selling the product with a next day delivery to my pin code with little higher price is flipkart doing this coz the product was purchased in offer price? that would be a real cheap trick to attract customers instead its gonna cost you more as people like me would not one stop buying ourself but also block site like flipkart in our companies.

Will wait for a response from flipkart before taking it further.

Screenshot showing seller still selling the product with 2 day delivery to my zip code... surprising
