Oplus — Oplus and Snapdeal ditch their customer

I also bought Oplus Xonphone5 in November 2014. The touch screen of phone is not working since July 18, 2015. I lodged complaint through website to Snapdeal as well as Oplus. After receiving email acknowledgement with "ticket numbers" from both agencies, Snapdeal promised me to pick up the phone and make a full refund. After 3-4 days, Snapdeal closed the ticket thorugh an email stating that courier did not find pick up material ready. This was a complete lie. I called Oplus[protected] /[protected] and complaint booking 5 times. They kept on promising for "pick up from home" which never materialised. Now their phone is getting disconnected. I am planning to lodge a complaint with Consumer forum.

As per email from Snapdeal, I sent the Oplus mobile phone and accessories to their address through DTDC courier on 30/9/2015. However, as the courier reports, "Shipment Returned due to RECEIVER SHIFTED."

Did Snapdeal provide me a fake address???

The I must inform about the deceptive and deceitful nature of Snapdeal. This is meant for experience sharing with the prospective customers of e-shopping.

1. Snapdeal made PR announcement on this forum, stating that my problem relating to sale of a faulty mobile has been solved.
2. Snapdeal sends me an email on 26/9/2015 providing address to which I should return the faulty mobile, as follows:
SNAPDEAL
Attention Mr. Priyank Kaushik/Bajrang,
Nuvo Ex Logistics,
Khasra No.[protected], KAPASHERA,
Near SNAPDEAL Forward Warehouse,
New Delhi - 110037
3. I make the courier dispatch of faulty mobile on 29/9/2015. The courier tracking (I posted the details earlier) says that "Shipment Returned due to RECEIVER SHIFTED" on 1/10/2015 at 4:46 pm.
4. On 4/10/2015 (1:17 pm), Snapdeal email says
- Our Address for sending the courier:
Name of company: Snapdeal, Attention Mr. Hari Singh
Building name and number: KH No. 543-544
Floor and street number: Basement, High Tension Road, Kapashera
Landmark: Next Gali to BP Petrol Pump
City: New Delhi
Pin code: 110037
5. In the evening on 4/10/2015 (around 7 pm), I receive an email and a phone call as well providing the following address:
KOLKATA CENTER BLB-1, AGARPARA JUTE MILLS LTD 28, B.T.ROAD, KAMARHATI CITY 24 PARGANAS / STATE WEST BENGAL PIN 700058

I wonder whether customers can be taken for a ride in such manner???
I shall update on successive events.

I have been receiving a call from Snapdeal Social Media Cell after every 2-3 days. Their only excuse is that they are not able to arrange for courier to pick up the faulty Oplus phone. As previously stated by me, the Oplus mobile was purchased from Snapdeal in November 2014 and it stopped working in July 2015 (within warranty period). Both Snapdeal and Oplus promised for pick-up of faulty phone through courier but it has not happened during last 2 months.

The excuses being offered by Snapdeal:
1. The courier service for delivery and pick-up are different
2. The pick-up courier service for your area is not available.
3. We have advised the Courier service - unfortunately they have been delaying the process.
4. Allow us 4-5 more days, we shall arrange for pick-up.
5. We shall manage manual complaint booking and pick-up will be done.

Now I fear that Snapdeal will spend two more months will similar pretensions and excuses and the product warranty will be over.

I am planning to file a petition in consumer court latest by next week.
Hi SNOjha,

Hope your concern is resolved. Do let us know if you need any further assistance. Please write to us at [protected]@snapdeal.com.

Thanks,
Team Snapdeal
I sent the Oplus mobile to the address, as stated in an email of Snapdeal, on 30th September 2015.

On tracking the courier dispatch, I learnt just now that "Shipment Returned due to Receiver Shifted."

Please see the snap-shot of courier tracking - anyone can do it again.

In not this a malicious act of Snapdeal!!

I sent the Oplus mobile phone again (3rd time) to a new address provided by Snapdeal through Speed Post (India Post) . It (Receipt EW[protected]IN) returned back to me again due to non-delivery.

Whether Snapdeal is a fake organization or it fakes it's address!

My request for full refund of Oplus price (Rs.7999) under warranty has not been addressed so far.

Consumers - DONOT SHOP FROM SNAPDEAL. IT IS A DUPING COMPANY! See my experience.

SNAPDEAL and OPLUS Mobile are really a fake companies.

Even if there is no appropriate legal framework to deal with such companies,

let the Consumers black list them for their demeanors and duping!
