Redington India — Google Pixel Buds Pro - Replacement Claim Delay

Address:Redington (India) Limited SPL Guindy House, 95 Anna Salai, Guindy Chennai Chennai District Tamil Nadu India 600032

Hi,

I had purchased a Pixel Buds Pro from Flipkart on 15.04.2023. Since then, the battery life of the charging case is abnormal and doesn't last even for two charges, After reporting the issue to the Google Support, they offered to replace my Pixel Buds Pro through their Indian distributor Redington. I was told Redington would contact me regarding the replacement status, but its been THREE MONTHS, yet no word of contact from your Redington team yet. After browsing various options and active follow ups with Google support back to back, I landed here on the Complaint form of Redington. Requesting you to KINDLY LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND OFFER THE REPLACEMENT ASAP as I'm unable to use my Pixel Buds Pro effectively, have to run for charges back to back. Kindly Help. Attaching reference screenshot from Google Support regarding the same. Thank you

Regards
Dana

I'm facing the same issue. It's been a week since google has confirmed a replacement. Didn't get a revert from Redington. Was your issue resolved? If yes, then how long did it take and was there any replacement charges involved?

Hi,

It took almost 6 months for the replacement to be done for me. I contacted Google Support multiple times with the case-ID follow-up regarding the replacement, they told they have already transferred the case to Redington since they handle the replacements in India. Unfortunately, Redington never contacted or mailed me. Google support asked me to check my inbox, spam folders thoroughly as Redington's status was notified to them as "Waiting for customer to collect the replacement". But I denied it as there was no notification from Redington at all. Redington's contact numbers, mail ids proved to be unreachable all times. After 6 months, on contacting Google support again, they asked me to walk-in to Redington's office and check (as I'm based in Chennai). Even their office address in their websites proved to be wrong. After finding the right address, I did walk-in and found that Redington never carters replacements directly and I was asked to contact Google back about this. I contacted Google Support after so much of frustration and this time, the humble agent promised me a top-level escalation of the case and I would be contacted within 48 hours or else can revert back to the same mail from Google. I had less hopes but to my surprise, I had received a mail from one of the executives of 'Proconnect Reverse Logistics Centre (A Subsidiary of Redington India Ltd.)' titled "Google DOA Replacement". In the mail, I was asked to walk-in to the warehouse with my defective device along with its original contents of packing and a copy of the mail with my ID for verification. Alternatively, I had the option to courier my device to the mentioned address in the mail after 48 hours of which I would receive my replacement. But I opted for the walk-in in order to receive a faster in-hand replacement, The warehouse of Proconnect Logostics was located some 60mi from my location. They have given the POC details in the mail so I could confirm my arrival and the process went for some half-an-hour. I returned my defective device and was handed over a new one as replacement. Its been a week now and this is my long tale on the replacement process.

I suggest you to wait sometime and expect a mail from Proconnect or contact Google support and let them know Redington is unreachable at the point. Thank You
