College Student Suicidal After Flipkart Sends Cheap Speakers Instead of Laptop Worth Rs 76,000

Student receives cheap speakers instead of laptop worth Rs 76,000 from Flipkart.

In his now-viral post, Atharva detailed his ordeal, recounting how the delivery date was postponed multiple times, ultimately causing him to visit a Flipkart hub to collect his purchase. The delivery personnel insisted on obtaining an OTP before allowing him to open the package, citing ‘protocol.’ Much to his dismay, inside the box were not the promised laptop but rather the subpar speakers. Atharva was armed with evidence, including video footage and the delivery person’s confession, to support his claim.

The post reads: “Unbelievable experience with @Flipkart! Ordered a Macbook M1 worth 76,000 INR, but received cheap speakers instead. Despite solid evidence of their own delivery executive mishandling the situation, they’re denying refund under ‘no returns’ policy. All Proves Attached.”

Despite his compelling evidence, Flipkart cited its ‘no return’ policy as a reason to reject his claim for a refund or replacement. Atharva’s frustration was palpable as he criticized the company’s stance on social media. He reached out to consumer advocacy forums for support and pledged to persistently voice his concerns until justice was served.

However, the situation took a distressing turn when Atharva revealed on Reddit that he had contemplated suicide due to the distress caused by the ordeal. In a surprising twist, Flipkart eventually reached out to Atharva, promising to initiate a refund for his purchase.
