Yes my friend faced an issue with Myntra. They banned her account without any reason and forfeited 6k worth credits. Asked her to file a Consumer complaint. Not sure what's the current status though.

Use your voucher and clear it out.
 
Flipkart is certainly starting to get horrible.

in my experience their own eKart is next to pathetic on any product shipped from locations except delhi.
my friend needed mi4i, he ordered on pre-paid thru my account, they took almost a week and shipped it on day they had open
sale for it, still he was patient, phone took almost 10 days to reach him, and later he wanted to change the phone but they
asked him to ship it back to them means no pickup by flipkart.
And there would not be any REFUND on the order, you will get a new handset, so another 20 days of wait in transit both ways.

They said whatever you would pay for return shipping "we'll add it to wallet" but it was scary,
later I brought the phone home and flashed the latest Rom issue seems to be solved.
But the friend lost the love for it, and is sticking with Redmi 1S+Mi3, phone is still with me to play with.

Similarly, I ordered some stuff, and today is 7th day with status "expected at New Delhi hub"
I guess once it would comes back from mars to Delhi, they would re-route it to my city.

All in all, 7 out of last 10 orders were slow as snail on flipkart.

I now try to find stuff on snapdeal and save myself from slowkart.
 
Flipkart first seems to be Shipped last :finger:

don't know how such a horrible service would sustain another few years.

anyways has anyone checked their new office building on FB.
 
I think the money spent on Flipkart first subscription was a total waste for me and I will not renew it. Looks like Flipkart is no longer interested in keeping any inventory whatsoever and are looking to become a marketplace like snapdeal. Earlier I used to buy WS Retail shipped items but now most items I want to buy are shipped from independent suppliers who have low feedback score like between 3.0 to 3.5, which means there are large number of irate customers out there.

Look at the feedback on most independent suppliers and people are complaining about shipping delays, unsealed items getting shipped, fake items getting shipped or simply wrong items getting shipped.

Many reviews for power banks indicate that vendors are selling fake Chinese stuff with Sony and Samsung packaging in place of genuine brand name stuff. When for a product 10 or 20 customers have specially mentioned in their review that a particular vendor is selling fake product, then why is that vendor and product still online?

Take a look at the following customer feedback:

Sony CP-F10L/C ULA USB Portable Charger 10000 mAh 10000 mAh Price in India - Buy Sony CP-F10L/C ULA USB Portable Charger 10000 mAh 10000 mAh online at Flipkart.com

Paying Rs 99 for next day delivery for 'Fulfilled by Amazon' items looks like a much better deal to me that buying fake products from Flipkart's shady suppliers. Waiting for 3-4 days for 'Fulfilled by Amazon' is also not a bad idea.

For me, the problem is that Amazon is using India Post for deliveries to Noida and Ghaziabad. The standard delivery is 7-10 days with no option of paid faster delivery. The experience with India Post has been quite bad. Hence no option but to use Flipkart or Ebay.
 
Ordered Note 4G yesterday. Hopefully would get it today because of First. Without First, delivery date was August 1.
