I found a great deal on Snapdeal website, not believing the web price I called Snapdeal customer services to confirm the online price. The representative confirmed that the price for the product has indeed dropped and they are receiving huge volume of customer calls to place an order for the product. After I had a confirmation from Snapdeal representative I place an order online. The order was confirmed by Snapdeal on 13/02/15. The next day I received an SMS stating the order has been cancelled, I immediately call customer services asking the reason behind order cancellation. They mentioned Snapdeal made a mistake updating the product price and I am asked to visit website to know the latest price. I asked the same to be confirmed by any the of the authority from Snapdeal just to know if the order can be cancelled if the price of the product changes. After 45 min of call waiting, I am able to get in touch with the floor supervisor MS Navjyoti Negi (she claimed to be the final authority of Snapdeal). She mentioned the same reason for the order cancellation and offered me Rs 200 voucher as a token of appreciation for the feedback given which I declined to accept. I asked her to send me a email stating the reason for my order cancellation. After taking approvals from her superiors she did manage to send me a email stating the order is cancelled due to Technical glitch. I asked her to elaborate on technical glitch in the email, she did explain me by Technical glitch she means that, wrong price was updated in the website but refused to clarify any further in written (email). She also mentioned the Snapdeal reserves a right to cancel any order as per the Snapdeal policy. I asked her to provide the link to website where I can go through there policy which she declined.
I believe I did my best as a customer to confirm product details & price by calling Snapdeal customer care before I finally place my order. I also believe customer should not be any way effected by the errors/defects that they may have in their system. The only thing that I could derive from this behavior of Snapdeal is that, they want to escape from the deal that is already done just by cancelling the order and force the customers to buy the same product at higher prices(of course if the customer is interested).
I request Consumer court to look into the issue and help me to receive this order which is cancelled due to no mistake of mine.
