It has been more than two months of repeated phone calls and protracted e mail exchanges to replace a defective mobile phone with no result.
My sister-in-law placed the order on homeshop18 for "micromax canvas win-w121 windows mobile and micromax wi-fi router with inbuilt power bank combo - white bearing order no: [protected], sub order no :[protected] on 16th june 2017 which was delivered on 19th june 2017.
As soon as the product was put on charging, screen displayed black lines which meant that here twas some defect in the ordered item. She contacted the customer care representative and reported the defect. The customer care executive recommended that the handset be taken to the service center. The service center confirmed that the product had some internal defect.
The homeshop 18 was contacted again and it was requested to them that the product be replaced with a new one and in case of non-availability of the same, money paid i. E rs. 4000 be refunded.
The home shop 18 executive asked my sister-in-law to courier the product ordered and as soon as it reaches them, they will refund the money paid in the form of gift coupon.
The product was sent by courier on the address provided by the customer care executive.
It has been two months since then, neither have they sent the new mobile nor have they refunded/ provided any gift coupon of the same value. Their constant response to all the mails / phone calls is" we have forwarded the issue to the concerned dept, kindly wait for the final resolution. It makes one wonder how much time does it require to resolve issue?
The following are the mails exchanged regarding the same
