Flipkart sale laptop scam.

I ordered a laptop from Flipkart during their last sale, but it's been over 12 days, and it still hasn't been delivered. The laptop has been sitting at their nearest warehouse for a week now. I've filed multiple complaints with Flipkart, but nothing has been resolved. Their process is really frustrating, and they don't allow customers to pick up orders directly from the warehouse.

Today, a Flipkart agent called and said they can't deliver the laptop due to some unforeseen issue and will cancel the order, offering ₹500 as compensation. I told them I don't want the compensation but instead the price difference of ₹10,000 since the price has gone up now that the sale is over. However, they refused to agree to that.

I'm really disappointed with how these e-commerce platforms are running what feels like fake sales scams, and it seems like no government bodies are monitoring these issues. Does anyone know how I can get this sorted and have my laptop delivered? This has been a really bad experience.

Complain to national consumer forum. 

Same thing they did with me in February and they refused to deliver. 

I complaint to national consumer forum and they delivered the laptop in 2 days. 

That time they also told me take 500 but price difference was 8000+ so I refused and got the laptop.

this is their fake mechanism to lure the customer that the product is at their nearest location/warehouse and finally, they will cancel the product if you don't cancel it.. this happened for my friend who ordered iPhone 14 on 7th Oct 2023 and till 31st Oct they were saying it has reached his nearest location, he even found the warehouse location which was mere 2-3kms from his home😃 and worst was they took another 2 weeks for refund and he got his refund on Nov14 so for almost 40days 56k was yielding interest in their account for them 😡

Thanks, I’ve filed the complaint with NCF. Hopefully, this will lead to some progress. Flipkart is still sticking to the ₹500 offer, which is really disappointing. It's not a resolution but rather their stance of 'take it or leave it.'

You can fight for the difference amount. They will increase the compensation. 

But stick with the same statement- I want the product not refund.

If there is no urgency, you can keep Rs. 500 and wait for BBD. During BBD, prices are expected to drop even further.

was planning to say this as BBD is another 1 month away and you might even get a further price reduction or better models getting a price cut but seeing the below comment didn't want to demotivate OP to get justice 😊
