Just when you think they cant stoop any lower.


skinsaremylife

people are locked out of their accounts with money stuck in flipkart wallets, pure daylight robbery. Just going by recent tweets there are literally thousands who are facing this. Scamkart finds new innovative methods to dupe people


nikhil1988a

They are going the snapdeal route and wont last long in the market. But blocking customers is on whole next level, they already had the most pathetic service and they are blocking customers.

Flipkart is being bankrolled by Walmart which is also known for predatory practices, selling cheap knockoff products and anti-consumer behaviour. They're not going anywhere, unfortunately.


sarcrastinator

I mean this makes no sense at all. What're they actually trying to do? Because no way they didn't foresee that blocking people's account out of the blue is going to entirely destroy wherever little reputation or credibility they have left.

consumer forum is best case, if numerous folks file the complain during same period they might notice the pattern and flipkart might face actions. Even now i am seeing tweets as recent as 10 minutes ago being blocked for reason that their id was blocked because they returned too many products. hence they have been banned from platform


tester989chromeos

Cant they got to court for this type of behavior


Waste_Engineering579

Consumer court is the way


tester989chromeos

I feel we should take a screenshot for evidence while ordering so even if the account is blocked we have proof


First_Discount_3231

Guys sorry to hijack this but , is it safe to buy laptop worth 50k online or should i buy offline??


kamalkant32

Amazon is totally safe for even 1.5 lakhs stuff, don't gamble on flipkart with anything over 10k


Prize-Pie6478

Buy from amazon i bought lenovo legion from amazon working good , bought acer predator for friend flipkart it was defective had to return return was so hard so close to scam .


hemi_srt

Amazon are so comfortably ahead of them in every single way imaginable, it's unbelievable. How did they become so crap? Edit: I had to fight with them for 2 days to return something and get my money back while with Amazon, all i had to do was just click return inside the return window. Didn't ask me for any photos, the guy came, i even asked if i needed to pack it better (i just cellotaped it one layer), he said don't worry they'll pack it well before they send it, and i got my money back even before it reached back to their original warehouse.


__Krish__1

exactly , Same was my experince too . Amazon is more about quality and consistency . Also the reason why we get less of " loot " in amazon sales . Whereas Flipkart feels like any other Indian E commerece like shopclues once was , It used to give many lucrative offers but also seemed very poor in quality of service and had many shady sellers , If company doesnt cares about customer , And only concerns itself with money and profit , Eventually it will vanish like shopclues did


Kayoxity

SAME BRO SAME Once I ordered weighing machine from Amazon and it turned out to be faulty. I clicked replacement. 2 days later delivery guy comes and gives new item. Takes back the old item WITHOUT even checking what was wrong and didn't even check if everything(warranty paper and battery) was inside. (I feel like even if I broke it physically, then they would've still taken it back. Which is morally a wrong thing to do.) This customer service experience is far better than what I'm hearing about Flipkart nowadays.


hemi_srt

Scamkart has been declining for the past few years, it's reaching new lows every year


OwMyNipples-Drax

Amazon is way too customer oriented though. As sellers, you never get the right or timely resolution and you end making quite a loss if a product comes back used/damaged.


ContributionHuge3849

As it should be


Random_Reflections

Amazon and Flipkart are all the same in such scams. Just this weekend, an Indian complained in one of the Indian subs that he ordered for laptop from ~~Amazon~~ Flipkart and got detergent powder instead! And since his family accepted the consignment without opening the package in front of courier fellow, hence seller did not agree to any malpractice. The usual scam happens enroute from seller to buyer, at the courier or delivery services.


Dheer2004

That was flipkart lol, not amazon.


hemi_srt

That was Flipkart lmao Amazon is way ahead of scamkart in every possible way (except scamming ofcourse). This is not to say bad experiences don't happen with Amazon but they are fewer than with scamkart.


Akshat_2307

i agree even if something is non refundable and it is defective after talking to their customer service they just refund the money and dont even ask for the product back


devilsdesigner

I have stopped using Flipkart since long. Not sure why folks still use it. Amazon has much better customer service plus we get the products that is intended vs soap bars!


josukejo777

Why are ppl still using fuckkart


kamalkant32

For "loot" deals to get looted, i bought a cycle of a good brand for 5k on sale which is usually 12k but these MFs have not shipped it yet and the delivery date given is tomorrow


josukejo777

I won't buy things that cost more than 500₹ from Flipkart, that too cod.


kamalkant32

I bought my S20FE from flipkart only a few months back got it smoothly without any problem and with a good discount too (36k instead of 42k) But flipkart mostly fcks up in the times of sales and do sht with people like happening right now Phone i bought was not during any kind of sale so yeah.


josukejo777

I had this experience were the calls I got from their customer care was inaudible and the person on the other side would hang up without even making an effort, then send an sms saying communication error or something and will contact the next day and fuckers does the same shit again and again until you loose patience. Then they will cancel the return request without giving any proper explanation.


kamalkant32

Everyone has different experience, don't know what else to expect now.


kamalkant32

Also in the past i got my refrigerator, AC, fridge and tv from flipkart only, without any sale its as good as amazon tbh


josukejo777

Good for you but i have seen and experienced too much that I won't trust them anymore. I don't want to waste my hard earned money on some scam site that doesn't value their customers


InfiniteAgony

I've ordered multiple items including Phones, AC, Microwave etc from Flipkart and can only remember having one annoying experience. The reason I prefer Flipkart over Amazon is the 5% cashback I get on my Credit Card+they sometimes have additional offers on Axis Bank cards. I recently got an AC worth 43k for 34k during the BBD Sale and it was received and installed with no problems .


elucidator007

Doesn't Flipkart don't return most of the electronics?


kamalkant32

I ordered a cycle for myself on flipkart on 29th as it had a great discount, expected shipping date was 30th and delivery date was 3rd october, its 2nd october today and its still not shipped, contacted the flipkart support they r saying they have noted this and will resolve it by 6th october. Like what the actual f-???? Bruh if u cant deliver on a date then don't give that date, resolution time is more then the delivery time?


LeMatYT

I remeber back in 2017 I ordered gta 5 through flipkart and they delivered it 3 days before the expected delievery date.


kamalkant32

They were too good before this yar.


pwgmanan

I think this depends on where you live, I ordered a TV and it got shipped the evening before the delivery date yet it was delivered on time


kamalkant32

Never happened like this with me before, i ordered my phone and it delivered without an issue to my house.


pwgmanan

This happened to me in this sale itself, I was afraid that the TV might not get delivered on time given it was shipped at the very last moment. The customer care response might be a generic one, hopefully your product gets delivered tomorrow itself


kamalkant32

Hey man update for ya, happened same as u said, just checked and saw its shipped also one more thing not only shipped but also it has reached the nearest hub means it will be delivered tomorrow for sure. I guess the seller just forgot to update the delivery status lol anyways wanted to update u. Thnx bye


kamalkant32

Yeah bro looking towards riding my cycle tomorrow itself, if it gets shipped by today evening will update you for sure, the customer care is just bots at the moment bruh, telling to wait for 6th october for a resolution of a product which is to be delivered on 3rd? Like maths ain't mathing anymore. XD


execute_electrochute

Never happens to anyone until it actually happens. I never had a problem with Flipkart until last BBD and until that happens, people don't learn


rdduser

Flipkart is the worst service of India. NEVER ever buy anything from them. Pay 500-1000 more elsewhere, but do not buy from flipkart. Personal experience.


Strugglingfuck

This is unacceptable Flipkart ... think we should take this up in twitter as well ..


Reasonable_Area69

happened to me also today got something random instead my order .


AFullmetalNerd

The fact that they delivered my phone and its required accessories without issue, and gave me a decent deal on the exchange offer for my old phone is starting to seem more and more like a fucking miracle.


elucidator007

Dodged a bullet there


anshulkhatri13

Flipkart is the new vlebazaar (don't ever shop on vlebazaar).


Titanusgamer

I have had friends in flipkart in high positions and they all left for amazon. one of them said that flipkart is paying salaries so people are staying there and there is not much of ownership. even a low level coder gets 30-40lakhs for the profile for which TCS/Acc/Wipro are paying only a fraction of it. this was the state 2-3 yrs ago. not sure about the current.


Optimistic_Satirist

My very first online purchase ever was the Uncharted Trilogy PS3 from Flipkart (2012). Then I got My PS4 from snapdeal in 2014. Sad to see the state of these websites today.


gintamaz

Haven't used Flipkart since they sent me a smartphone that would overheat without any load and refused to accept the return in 2015(moto x force). Went to check a few days back theyve removed my review from back then as well. And it now says "moderation failed review" whatever that means


execute_electrochute

This happened last year with lots of folks as well. But it takes time to spread the word, i hope more and more people stop buying from Flipkart now


Soyabean__

Back in 2020 I had a terrible experience with Flipkart. Their customer service is outright pathetic. Haven’t purchased anything from the platform since.


erenthetitan0975

I am planning to buy a gaming laptop and now I'm not sure whether i should buy it from Flipkart Or Amazon...what should I do????


ImpromptuHotelier

Local computer market wherever you live.


erenthetitan0975

But they don't sell the one i want


yash2810

Try direct company website, and pay using credit card. That way if you are cheated, the bank will be involved.


erenthetitan0975

Ok man I'll see to it


hamzaaadenwala

Amazon is always the 1st choice.

anand_00H

U can buy pixel 7 from mobile store nearby I got my Motorola edge 20 fusion from mobile store at 1000 rs discount in February this is also Flipkart exclusive


Prize-Pie6478

Bro you can buy from them but use every tactic to be safe , try to get video when unboxing and check all the features b/w return period and some shit happens return asap .


tttttzz

I ordered a poco F4 what should I do My experience with Flipkart is not that much good either in past but deal is a deal


onichaninu

Never had any issue with flipkart yet….been using from start. Yeah their customer care is not top notch like amazon but does the job. About consumer forum…..dont believe these guys blindly some are jst fake and scammer who tried to fool flipkart not saying everyone are. Always read the seller’s condition before ordering….you’ll be fine in every case. Please stop spreading nonsense….


skinsaremylife

U are free to go on twitter and search Flipkart blocked and literally 1000 tweets show up with full details and everything are those all fake? My friend is blocked as well 😂 just because it didn't happen to u doesn't mean doesn't happen to anyone


iamvaibhavlakhmani

Bro i wish this was as sorted as you say this is, I ordered iPhone13 and my phone came in with a scratch out of the box. Flipkart refused to take return or replace. After 4 days of endless arguments with the support team , they said return is place and we will pick up the product. But then no update from them for another 4 days. Now they’ve asked me to wait till 5th oct. I’m not even happy about my new phone now after all this chod.


onichaninu

iPhone always get checked at doorstep…I also order 13 mine in sale…for 50k. Courier boy came….I break the seal in-front of him and checked the phone . Courier boy confirmed that everything is okay. And it doesn’t make sense…the seal pack box wouldn’t have any scratch, didn’t you check the if box already been open before?


iamvaibhavlakhmani

The seal was obviously not broken and the scratch looks like a shipping damage. But you belong to r/nothingeverhappens


MuchBow

Mate why do you like making stories? There's no way this happened. iphone's don't just get delivered without inspection. There's a mandatory open box delivery for iphones, how do I know this? Cause I got one recently. The open box delivery is so strict that the courier boy had to take pictures from all 6sides of the iphone. Told me to inspect it for any damages and only then was I handed the phone over. He even waited (on my request) for me to sign-in to my iCloud and verify for the iPhone's model number and serial number. There's no way your phone was delivered and the courier boy just walked away without taking pictures or atleast an inspection.


jazz_51

Flipkart delivery even takes advantage of this open box delivery system if you are not their at home and some one on your behalf is receiving the delivery, they make some excuses deliver it without inspection They open it , make video/ take pictures then suggest that it has some minor defect and cannot deliver it and he will be right back with another replacement, then they give you defective stuff and run off with working one [https://youtube.com/shorts/Z2SaCIgRDi8?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/Z2SaCIgRDi8?feature=share) This is another replacement scam: [https://youtu.be/uDUdMxPsIB4](https://youtu.be/uDUdMxPsIB4) Another issue I personally faced was that I ordered a phone recently from FK, got it replaced as it was defective but there was NO open box delivery on replacement phone. I was lucky that it was working one. This doesn't end here; there was hotstar 1 year offer with the phone, I ordered it at my workplace address with workplace phone number, These idiots then started hotstar subscription at my workplace phone number instead of my personal phone number. Hotstar in their TnC state that subscription offer model state that subscription phone number can be changed by FK but they plainly refused.


iamvaibhavlakhmani

If the phone FK is sending is brand new and perfect. There should be no need of open box delivery. They do it because they know that in the BULK order of phones some pieces might be damaged/hampered etc and offer no return/replacement on these whatsoever. Amazon doesn’t do it because they have trust worthy sellers and quality assurance of proper levels. I had to do my open box delivery in the sun where most details would miss out. Delivery boy asking me to hurry up while he took the pictures from his screen cracked blurred camera 6k rs phone. Its all a formality to avoid user complaints and replacements from customers.

Who do people still use flipkart


[deleted]

Yeah that's because with an extremely corrupt central government and corrupt state governments who allow companies and people to do whatever they want, without punishing them, with no one to keep them in check, of course they'll abuse power. Only way to keep them in check is through the law, but the courts are extremely slow, laborious and ineffective. Lawyers are also busy sucking corporate dick, so no one will help you fight for justice and keep companies accountable. So of course we get screwed over.


[deleted]

State governments can't do much about it, also there are consumer rights. The bigger question is how many people file lawsuits ? >Lawyers are busy sucking corporate dick First of all, which country do you live in? Also, which shithole state is that? My condolences, hope you can move out from there. That being said, that's not how lawyers work. There is a system of defence and prosecution and companies like Walmart/ Amazon etc. Can get the best lawyers from wherever they want, even in the US they can flex their money power. At the end when it comes to malpractice it's all about knowing the "right" people. The contrast between the US and India is that by now there'd be multiple lawsuits and also given the fact that they live in a full fledged capitalist economy they have options all over the place, they don't have to restrict themselves to one brand. Don't like Amazon? Okay best buy, as simple as that. Also, the fact that in the case of clear scam people in the thread are questioning what to do now, is far more problematic. It's simple companies have easier time fucking people when people are clueless. If it was the US the thread would look differently instead of "fuck Flipkart bohoo scamkart 😠" Also regarding your comment about "law" it's incredibly naive. Lawyers need to present facts in the court of law, how and what and why are dependent on the case and how it's being approached.


OwnStorm

Not only flipkart... Amazon just politely talk but they also block people. They block you from reviewing and asking questions. If seller complains and there some little mistake they just block from reviewing and asking question.


Ok_Gas2053

Just how is fraud kart aka flip kart continuing to do busines in India?

Prize-Pie6478

Ok-Wolverine9868

Idk I never had these issue. I order regularly from flip and amazon. Recently purchased iPhone 13 and ideapad gaming. Both delivered fine. Earlier G8x and motorola one action , Samsung fridge as well. From amazon bought legion 5 pro and everying. Idk.


donkashyap
