Sharing my experience with flipkart and delhivery couriers..
I ordered a Digiflip Pro Tablet on 29th October and Paid for with my debit card.. It was a gift for my nephew..
It reached the destination on 31st and I still didn’t get the delivery by 5th November. During this phase I had called Delhivery’s Customer care for almost 5 times.. They didn’t give me number for the destination branch and they said it will be delivered and the same recorded message for several times..
I finally cancelled order on 6th Nov.. Flipkart said my refund will be initiated when the product reaches their warehouse.. I had been patient.. several calls to flipkart and same response..
I ordered another tablet and asked them to deliver it by ekart which was delivered in next 3 days.. This was also prepaid and this order was complete.
today on nov 14, the Delhivery guy knocks on the door and says here is your tablet.. which was returned cause we had already gotten the same piece from different order a few days ago.. I called customer service of delhivery and they said “We did not recieve any intimation from flipkart that the order was cancelled”.. Now flipkart says They will initiate refund only when the product is recieved by them at the warehouse.
Now , I am in total shock how can the communication between the seller and it courier partner be so bad?
Why flipkart chose delhivery instead of ekart?
why delhivery people cannot reveal the local branch office number, are we going to ambush them?
delhivery guys are slow in updating status, I don’t know whether they say it was returned or delivered.. I highly doubt them as it is a prepaid parcel.
Reading on internet, I came to know that delhivery is by far the worst courier service.. I don’t know why flipkart would even chose them to work with.
