I also faced same issue with @amazonIN. Thy send fake product then refuse to refund or replace. Standard practice for expensive productshttps://t.co/jBF38GIHXZ— DeepakGour (@deepakgourr) July 12, 2023
I have just QT'd with a screenshot of my experience with Amazon from last week. They need to be taken to task, and a case needs to be filed against them. Had this been the US, Amazon would be looking at a class action suit. They are lucky (and we are unlucky) that this happened…— Shripal Gandhi (@thealtruist_in) July 11, 2023
I don’t trust Amazon and Flipkart at all, which is why I refrain from purchasing costly gadgets from these platforms. Croma and Reliance Digital are much more reliable. Tata Cliq is also good.Lodge your grievance with National Consumer Helpline @jagograhakjago. They're swift. https://t.co/0AbpTkzWw0
