The Nothing Phone 3 price got a massive discount as part of Flipkart’s Diwali sale. The price of the phone was cut from Rs 79,999 to Rs 39,999. The offer was snatched up by many buyers in no time. But, as usual, quite a few of the customers have reported severe delivery issues. It seems like the same kind of commotion just like with the iPhone sales.
Flipkart being unhelpful, went on to cancel many of the confirmed orders without any prior notification. He posted not only his cancellation but also a refund screenshot of Rs 23,956 that was made to his account by the platform. The company issued “An incorrectly listed price” as the reason for the cancellation. This caused a lot of anger among people who were looking forward to the buy.
Delivery failures to the extreme were experienced by some of the customers. The account of the situation that one user gave was that there were eight failed attempts to take the package away from him. His order’s initial date was October 3rd. The scheduled times when the package could be taken away were on October 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th. What occurred here is that the logistics side of the whole process under the company of Flipkart was having a tough time operating.
The delivery-related issue of another type was the one faced by a different customer. The phone he had ordered was kept at the local hub for more than a week. Flipkart delayed the delivery date without informing the customer. The man was super-disappointed with their ‘service’ and made a promise that he would never order from Flipkart again.
The problem of this nature that happened with Flipkart just now has been known to reoccur in the past. The marketplace was with alike conditions when the iPhone 16 was being sold. It is reported that the customers’ experiences were also alike of the same account, namely they received notifications about their orders getting canceled and were also faced with delays in receiving their purchased items. The platform seems to keep on making the same blunders. Each such blunder lowers the customer’s trust in the platform further.
The folks who bought the phones early and quite successfully are a few only. They got the phones delivered through Flipkart Minutes. These buyers paid very low prices for their gadgets and they got them in no time. So they can now use and enjoy their new phones. Their experience is proof that the deal was legit.
The incredible discounts were the source of the big demand. The system at Flipkart couldn’t cope with so many orders. Sellers could have made mistakes in setting prices. The delivery network was hanging under the pressure of the festival. These elements together formed a mess like this one.
Massively irritated consumers are sharing their anger on different Internet platforms. Social media complaints are numerous. Quite a lot of people are posting the respective screenshots of their order cancellations. A few are even warning others about Flipkart’s sales. The platform is not having an easy time keeping its image intact.
Flipkart has to manage sales better than this. Before any new launch, the company has to confirm the right prices. In the case of large sales, better logistical planning is a must. Customers ought to be given a dependable service when it is festival offer time. No-one is profited by the present state of affairs.
If a big sale is expected buyers must do their homework beforehand. The ratings of the sellers and reviews of the product must be of interest. One must be fully acquainted with the issues of refund and return policies before shopping. For purchases that are important, one can also consider other platforms. One must be ready to have to wait for their turn during festivals.
