Initial Question: Tampered item received
08:55 AM IST Amazon: Good Morning,
Hello my name is Ritesh , I will be happy to assist you.
08:55 AM IST David: First of all why the hell was my connection terminated. I was typing god dammit
08:56 AM IST David: This never happened earlier, NEVER. Amazon is really going down the drain in service it seems.
08:57 AM IST David: I'm so pissed i don't even know how to start this shit. Hello anybody or any body there??
08:57 AM IST Amazon: I have read your query completely and first off all please accept my sincere apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused at Amazon.in.
I will surely help you with this issue.
08:58 AM IST David: Just yesterday morning I contacted AmazonIN care regarding misinformation of package shipment. And in the afternoon I got my order #402-XXX which was a keyboard and mouse in poor condition ie. sealed open, torn package box and light scratch on the mouse. As if that was not enough, just a few hours later I got my ORDER # 403-XXX which was the SanDisk pendrive (applied for replacement) in bad condition, tampered item! Model inside was replaced. Package taped with thousands of meters of cello tape
The screwed up thing about all these? One was fulfilled by Amazon and the other was sold and fulfilled by Amazon! wtf
08:59 AM IST Amazon: I am extremely sorry for the trouble caused to you in this matter, however please do not worry at all. I would certainly sort out the issue in the best possible manner.
First of all, please accept my sincere apologies for this inconvenience caused to you.
09:00 AM IST Amazon: And I understand that you are not at all supposed to face this issue, but please understand, this has not been done intentionally.
09:00 AM IST David: And now I have to wait for another 2 weeks to get the new replaced item. How can I know if i'll be getting the right item this time? AS far as i'm concerned one cannot even trust AMAZON itself now.
This is pathetic. Someone in AMAZON INDIA tampered with my order. SOLD BY CLOUDTAIL, FULFILLED BY AMAZON. GET THAT INSIDE YOUR HEAD
09:01 AM IST Amazon: I can understand your concern, I will definitely forward this issue to my higher authorities so that they can make sure this issue would never ever appear again in future.
09:02 AM IST Amazon: May I know if this product is working fine?
09:03 AM IST David: All your people do is talk. What the hell happened to your "100% Genuine Products, Buyers protection guaranteed" slogans plastered all over your site.
How the hell am i supposed to know. I haven't opened neither of them. Technically they have ALREADY been opened!
09:04 AM IST David: And if i were to have opened them you would say "sorry but opened/used items cannot be replaced. Thank you for contacting amazon. goodbye"
09:05 AM IST Amazon: As I can see that replacement of your order for " SanDisk Ultra 32GB USB Pen Drive ", is already created.
09:05 AM IST David: I already told you right? The seals were opened. The pendrive was replaced with another pendrive. Insider'
Insider's job.
09:06 AM IST David: Yeah i applied for the replacement alright. My concern right now is IF at all i would get a new CORRECT order which has NOT been tampered with.
09:07 AM IST David: are you waiting for 2 mins so you can disconnect this chat again like the woman before you did?
09:08 AM IST Amazon: No David, I was waiting you to write the complete issue.
Since I can see that you have already contacted us previously for this issue, and as per your agreement, we agreed to send you a replacement.
The delivery date of the new order is Oct 20.
09:08 AM IST David: Except I didn't get any info as to where to send the package.
09:09 AM IST Amazon: Okay.
Here is the link of the return label:
....
09:09 AM IST David: And that i will bear the return shipping charge. sigh. will i not be refunded?
09:09 AM IST Amazon: This is a postpaid label, which means you will need to return the item at your expense.
And yes you will be reimbursed for the return shipping once we receive the item back.
09:11 AM IST David: any courier preference/deadline for return? else amazon would blame me for the delay and not refund my money.
09:12 AM IST Amazon: Return deadline is 16 days from today.
And no courier preference.
09:12 AM IST David: aren't the return documents in any other format? word or pdf? this thing is in gif
09:14 AM IST Amazon: The format does not matter, as long as you print them out and paste them on the box.
09:14 AM IST David: i cant view them after saving thats why.
09:15 AM IST David: can i change the package cover? this is too big
09:15 AM IST Amazon: Yes you can change the cover, and I would request you to change the browser you are using if you are not able to view the link I have provided.
09:18 AM IST David: Packing slip and return slip, can i just cut and place/put them inside the package? or do you want me to tape them like you did with my pendrive?
09:19 AM IST David: And what if amazon doesn't receive the returns by 16th day from today?
09:20 AM IST David: btw my replacement pendrive has been shipped right? did AMAZON take care to not screw it up this time?
09:20 AM IST Amazon: You need to include it inside the package.
Yes the replacement order has shipped and will deliver timely.
Also 16 days is enough time for the package to reach back to us.
09:21 AM IST David: 16 days enough time? You serious? Even your own shipping took as many days.
09:23 AM IST Amazon: As soon as your order reaches to our fulfillment center, your order will be shipped
09:24 AM IST Amazon: Shipped out**
09:24 AM IST David: can your repeat that again?
09:25 AM IST David: Are you telling me that you are waiting for my return to ship out the new pendrive? Wasn't my new replacement order already shipped out?
Then whats up with this new delivery date for the new replacement?
09:26 AM IST Amazon: Yes, I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
Yes, your new order is already shipped.
And it will gets delivered on or before October 20th 2015.
And whenever you return the item, and it gets delivered to us. We will issue refund for the delivery charges that you need to bear to send back the item.
09:27 AM IST David: Whatever. I'll try to ship out today. This has been a nightmare.
09:28 AM IST David: Still can't believe that Cloudtail/Amazon Fulfilled order could be this horrible. You give me second thoughts on using amazon again.
