Try asking to Flipkart and Letsbuy this -
What will happen after 1 Month of your DOA Replacement Policy?
They will tell you u will have to go to the nearest Service center and they won't help claiming warranty for any customer after that 1 Month is Over .... So yes you will get 1 Month Free Replacement but after that you are on your own the max they will be able to give u is a service centers address which might be like 500 Kms away.
There will be like thousands of customers who have internet but no service centers nearby the nearest for them would be say 500kms away from their location.
Here we help such customers, we give Full Time Warranty Support not 30 Days ... If the Product has 5 Yrs then the customer will get support from us till the warranty lasts.
Lastly yes we charge for return shipping firstly coz we have to do it for years together till the products warranty lasts , if u see every dealer on ebay also charges for return shipping.
Do we not have to pay courier charges to our courier companies ? And it is not any dealers fault that the product went DOA neither its the customer's but its just bad luck that the Product went DOA.
And nothing is Unethical about it .. everything is clearly given on our site u can read the same or call us at the numbers given there.
Once I mistakenly recommened itwares to my friend to buy a PSU, Seasonic 630 one. Price was ok, and so bought it right away. But it came DOA, and when we called up rahul, he started acting rude. He said, DOA is not his mistake, and for honoring DOA replacement, the unit needs to be shipped back, along with a cash deposit of 500/- as return shipping. My friend had no other choice, and he shipped it back which cost him 800/- and had to deposit 500 bucks as well and finally he got a working piece 1 month later. flipkart and letsbuy are like heaven compared to itwares.
This is queer. I had bought the same a month back. It went kaput after 10 days. I sent it back for replacement with Rs 500 + 500 on shipping. I sense something fishy about this.
Sometimes we have to charge 500/- for return shipping as some places like Weste Bengal , Assam and other Far East Places where we can only use DTDC to send and other courier companies ask for Forms for the goods to enter those states.
DTDC turns out very expensive for us they charge us 140 Per KG by Air as u said u were charged Rs. 500/- for sending the same we were also charged 500 for sending it back to you so we took 500/- for return shipping
Good Power Supplies Weigh ~ 3-4 Kg so we have to charge accordingly
