 I came to know Flipkart has stopped replacement on many phones including Motorola, Poco, Vivo, Mi etc even if you come across any issues on first day. 

Recently my fri ordered Motorola and asked for replacement cause the phone was DOA. Flipkart clearly said they offer replacement only for missing items, product damaged on delivery, or wrong product delivery for Motorola products
 For any other concerns, contact Motorola service centre.


Kindly take a note while ordering phone from Flipkart. This is absurd policy.

Dead on arrival, why would someone wait for 48 hrs. It was instantly raised to the support and they suggested whatever I said above. He’s at Motorola service centre right now I believe for replacement.

Already mentioned in the past Amazon & Flipkart are miss using there powers as there is no competition from any Indian they are making there own rules and regulation 

Unless people file consumer court case even for small problems they will not change just like people do in US and other countries

With respect to this, do u think any retailer would replace a dead phone? Every retailer would do the same thing. Why blame Flipkart and Amazon? Be fair.

Yes, every retailer will replace it, we open infront of him or he opens the box and if the product doesn't work how can he say go deal with it yourself at Service centre, I would just comeback waiving hands without buying😂

Apple always had this policy (No return/replacement from Amazon/Flipkart end) and this is bound to happen with other brands too (Especially the ones with decent offline presence via service centers).

But people replaced apple phones when wrong color was received. Members posted here only.

So does service centre replace the phone under warranty?

Replacement only if they cannot fix the phone (Apart from Apple, Sony used to do it before it vanished from Indian market). They might offer a replacement (New/Refurbished) if the phone arrives dead (Say 10-15 days from product delivery) but in any other case.. they just fix them

I always opt for Open Box Delivery and share OTP with delivery guy only after thorough inspection for such products.

Now this is a clear example and should be the top comment. Mi wont help, flipkart wont replace and in the end, customers like us will suffer.

If this true, seller can misuse this policy by sending faulty phones & when we raise complaint flipkart just wash their hand by saying go to service center. Their is also uncertainty if the service center honor warranty in some cases.

Then Next step would be Companies displaying a poster saying "Warranty not valid if bought from 3rd party sites/sellers".
Already some companies are following it.

I remember, they used to send their engineer(from jeeves) to do 1st level troubleshooting and checking and after that (if jeeves engineer confirms) they process the replace/return request. Have they stopped this now.?

Everything is stopped bhai. Check the replacement policy. No replacement, troubleshooting nothing for any faults on phone.

You missed 1st step.
Step1: Pray that you won't get a brick or some soap instead of mobile.
Step2: Then hope that mobile is in working conditions.

Can someone confirm if xiaomi provide service for poco devices? Someone in dd said they don't provide service bt never replied back to my question then
Critic Critic

Why wouldn't they? poco & redmi are xiaomi sub brands. Look at authorised service center locations on their sites, all 3 will have same center addresses.

While ordering a phone FK are displaying a message, one needs to check the phone by opening the package and then only sharing an OTP with the delivery provider. At this step, if you find that phone is missing/doa/damaged physically, you can reject the receiving. Once shared the OTP, then you cannot come and claim that it is DOA or missing in the package. I think it is a valid way of protecting themselves from fraudsters.

But the delivery guys says they were not informed about open box delivery and they only handover the box after getting the otp.

Honestly, this new policy is a scam run by Flipkart in coordination with the companies. Flipkart is making profit from selling the products on there platform so they saying we are just an e-commerce website doesn't stand true. Many cases of defective products received by consumers have been reported after the policy change. There are people who choose not to go through the hassle of visiting a service centre to get a replacement so they just keep the defective/dead product and the companies make profit on low quality or even dead products.
