Flip-the-cart
now?
So, I asked
to myself this morning while sitting duck at my @@@@ desk,do I really need
to conduit
and bleed what I faced with Flipkart. An inner demon spoke to me`Yes`, maybe
because
of its mental
anguish and torment,it said so. After 2 mins, here I am to flay open my perturbed
soul.
The short
story unfurls like this, my ears were in a dire need for a new
earphones,earlier
one was
cheap and went kaput after two years. I thought to amaze my ears with some good
quality
earphones in
spite of me being a parsimonious creature ;as I am not much of a tech-savant or
have any knowledge with electronics items for that matter ,seek help from
someone(I guess that someone had distinction in Electronics Engineering). To
add dismay, that someone asked me to buy it from Flipkart. I marked his words
and followed it like Mosses did to God command.
On this same
computer, on 1st August I opened the flipkart window and bristle through the myriad
of ears phone, cheap to expensive ones. There was an avalanche of confusion
that ran down, and decision making was getting cumbersome and aphasia
stage is attained. I closed my eyes and found my friend`s words ricocheting, Sennheiser
CX180,GO FOR IT. All the confusions fizzle out and I hit the `BUY` and in a
jiffy I received some sms from flipkart --verification number ,it reads ******
and I followed all the instruction like rats did to Pan Piper.I received another
message which reads, We`ve received your order and it is being processed. On 2
Aug 1:23 AM, another msg fly’s into my inbox,
silently waiting till morning for my gawky touch to read it. This new sms reads
that my ordered item will be delivered by 8 Aug 2015.
I was relaxed,
as it defines a timeframe. I should not be at all anxious all the time about,
when will I be receiving it. Right?? But No, there was more to it, what these
Flipkart people do is, they send SMS on 5 Aug 2015 morning time, stating that shipment
is ready for delivery and asking me to keep Rs.938 handy, it’s the time when agitation
seeps in, when will I get it???? I didnt carry that much of cash and I had to borrow from each human entity
present at @@@@@ ,albeit everyone came to know that I have order something. But
no, at evening time they send me another SMS which reads `we are unable to
deliver your shippment, for any queries call us at 01246719500`.They kept the
jitter whole day, alive. I could not make a call, as usual those complex number
tapping and tracing plus network busy
thing!! Finally my lazy cells couldn’t bear the pain of repeated calling. I had
others job, you know .Anyway, such exchange of sms from flipkart side continued
for two more days, but like an angry gf I didn’t reply or called, obviously I
was pissed.
And today I
got a call from that guy who intends to deliver the item,"Kya aap Mr.Medu
Vada bol rahe hai. "Haan Boleya" "Aap ka flipkart ka item aa
gaya hai, kaal ayunga to chalega?”
"Mujhe
aaj hi chahiye" I blurted out like
a pressure whistle,I guess that came out with pent up frustration or the bad ordeal
with flipkart. I couldnot bunk @@@@@, I couldnot even take a half day off or go
out for some meeting. I guess it`s another subtle way of torturing. But I
recieved the shippement aka headphone after all.I tried it and it rocks up my
filthy socks too. That’s all I had to say.
Glee!!
