Ingram then Consumer Court.Update: Flipkart refused to correct the issue of missing serial numbers clearly refusing to reissue any invoice with correct serial number & basically saying you are on your own if face any issue in future while availing warranty. This response was from their 2nd level/last point of contact for a customer & no higher level possible to further escalate the issue.

ROFL that one had me wheezing. This is hilarious..OFFER HANDLING FEE
I guess you didn't buy from any "good deal" during BBD sale.So i thought lets see why my calculations were off and behold the hidden fees quotes as "OFFER HANDLING FEE".
Atleast there was some good offers at that time.I guess you didn't buy from any "good deal" during BBD sale.

This I already learned few years ago & that is when I don't even hold an amex card but used a friend's amex card, their support is that much good.If I do find something sketchy, I try to use AMEX Card. I don't even need to raise a support case, raise a chargeback from AMEX and enjoy the show.
Edit: Amex is hands down the best customer support/service I have ever received in my mortal life. I have been both a low Income, and HNI customer of them and I always received the same level of service. Compared to Amex, everything Indian and foreign is dog sh*t
SBI is opposite of Amex, no matter how much business you have with SBI, they are gonna treat you like sh*t anyways . Before someone gets triggered, I have family working in SBI.
Open box is scam that benefits Flipkart more than it does customers cuz there is no way you can test everything in like 5 minutes and it absolves Flipkart of all responsibilities. Online retailers need to stop this. I only buy big items (and not time critical) from flipkart and if there is even a single minute scratch, or packaging looks anything less than absolute perfect, I straight up refuse to accept it; let them get a taste of open box delivery. All they want is to stop returns, and given that Flipkart has been loosing money I expect worse in future.Flipkart strikes once again.
ordered a wildcraft jacket worth 1500( 4500mrp) after a 65% discount.
was an open box delivery, checked from the outside, tried out the zippers all fine.
After a bit, tried wearing it myself and found out theres a hole in the one of the pockets.
this is the first time i m experiencing something like this.
and the cc is saying open "box" so get ****ed.....
now i understand why theres a huge difference in the discounts between fk and amazon.
This is the 2nd time when i have had issues with clothing items, last time they had techical issues in returning shoes and after 6-7 return failures i gave up.
I will update what happens .
But be very careful if u are buying anything with open box delivery, even minor defects can **** it up.
Not to mention if everything works fine/able to check everything in 5 mins still there is no guarantee you will even get full warranty on the product if its manufacturing date is too old & some products box don't even have mfg date (like what happened in my case with a motherboard).Open box is scam that benefits Flipkart more than it does customers cuz there is no way you can test everything in like 5 minutes and it absolves Flipkart of all responsibilities.
Exactly, and Flipkart's invoice is worse than buying a preowned item. Flipkart was doomed from the get go; an Indian online retailer that neither knows online nor retail. Everything from top to bottom is full of sh*t. If not for Walmart these guys would have gone bankrupt a long time back.Not to mention if everything works fine/able to check everything in 5 mins still there is no guarantee you will even get full warranty on the product if its manufacturing date is too old & some products box don't even have mfg date (like what happened in my case with a motherboard).
Actually they were quite good in the beginning just like amazon but they both made the same mistake of not differentiating "good customers" from "bad customers" & making "good customers" suffer too for the damage done by "bad customers". Amazon is only better than flipkart currently because they have deeper pockets & tech to better differentiate between good & bad customers after they realised their mistake while flipkart still seem to not realize this even though amazon quality too has gone down a lot compared to their initial years.Flipkart was doomed from the get go; an Indian online retailer that neither knows online nor retail.
Any startup is great initially as they have VC money to burn and the customer base is small. It is bound to get worse over time, especially in India due to the mentality of the buyers to cheat the retailer if they can. They have to be very specific about what benefits to provide to whom based on purchase history. Amazon still does it as I have been repeatedly able to return or keep non-returnable items till date. Flipkart seems to be least bothered to set up better analytics and they come up with such blanket policies like open-box or banning pin codes, which is quite anti-consumer.Actually they were quite good in the beginning just like amazon but they both made the same mistake of not differentiating "good customers" from "bad customers" & making "good customers" suffer too for the damage done by "bad customers".
