[Resolved]  Homeshop18.com — Received incorrect model and homeshop18 is not replacing it

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

On May-20th (2014), I ordered "Godrej Security Solutions Ceres Coffer V1 Grey Security Locker" from homeshop18.com as it provided good 10% discount with free shipping. I was pleased with the deal while I placed my order. However my bad experience started right from the shipment. Initially website (and email from homeshop18) said product will be delivered by May-23rd, but eventually it came on May-27th (4 days of delay without any delay indication from homeshop18 -- we kept waiting at home for the delivery).

To make situation worse, when I opened the package on the same day evening, I found the locker model is totally different, I got "Godrej Security Solutions Ceres Coffer Security Locker" (note "V1 Grey" in the model name I had ordered). I immediately called homeshop18 who were quite polite and told me that it will be replaced without any issue. It was May-27th when I first made call to homeshop18 and today is Jun-5th, even after making almost daily calls to them, I see no progress on this replacement.

I even offered to keep this model, but as this model is cheaper in price that what I ordered for and paid, I requested to refund the difference amount. That too isn't taking any progress. It's just a nightmare experience for me. Certainly my last order with homeshop18 ...

What a quick reply from your homeshop18. Is that because I've finally posted this issue on the consumer complain forum ? Because so far all my calls to homeshop18 are in vain and all your sweet talking people are useless to do any fruitful work to get me to the resolution. Each time they promises that someone will get back on priority next day and till today not a single call I've received from your department. It's me who tirelessly keep calling you folks, but unfortunately all in vain. What a pity homeshop18; as you would know e-retails have come up like mushrooms now, so you better work diligently to survive in the tough competition. My order# is[protected], let's see what magic you are bringing after I've posted in this forum; though honestly I know this is also a stupid attempt by me here to see any hope.

Just wanted to close this thread ... finally I had made a deal with Homeshop18 that I'll keep the incorrect model and request Homeshop18 to refund the difference amount. At least this worked out well ... I received the difference amount cheque within a week.
