Sad News Flipkart Exchange Scam

[Stm44]

Hi All,

I want to share the recent experience (Today) I had with Flipkart !!

I placed an order for Moto G14 by exchange offer using Moto G9 for which the exchange price was quoted as INR 2,650 (Default price that can vary), the FK guy came home with nice sight spectacles and checked the phone from all sides which absolutely has no dents or any scratches, then he installed that app and started checking the screen, within seconds he said that the right side bottom (the white screen area), he found a screen discoloration !! I was surprised to know that, took that phone into my hands and verified it deeply which I couldnt find, I argued that on what technical basis he is saying that, he just has no answer and kept repeating the same thing over and over and then finally quoted price of INR 750 !! I smiled and said, I would rather give this phone for free to someone who needs it, rather than selling it for 750 INR, asked him to cancel the order. Later I checked the phone with that app multiple times like under light, dark etc etc., but i could not find any issue with that. Really pissed off with this behavior and maybe they have some perks if they do rejects things with senseless reasons !! Done with Flipkart, shall not order anything !!

The only good thing in the entire story is - I opted for immediate pickup, else I could have been forced to get 750 INR only, if I opted for "after" 7 days exchange !! (Did not see this post earlier, else I would have avoided this scam - Discussion - Google Pixel 6a)

I couldn't attach the video, is there a way?

It happens with some delivery guy

The reason I am laughing is that guy very well knew condition of the phone but he was indirectly seeking something under the table which you failed to understand here.

@Stm44 you could have paid the difference amount of 2650 through UPI and accepted the new phone without returning the old one. Then you could have separately sold the old phone either on Cashify or OLX depending on whether you are comfortable bargaining with multiple people or prefer a hassle-free home pickup with a generous price.

I have faced issues on my every order under exchange on Flipkart

Amazon also does same for exchange

Definitely I had that option !! However the way he said that senseless reason pissed me off and so never wanted to purchase from Flipkart.

Could be but fortunately I never had issue in the past, exchange two phones earlier.

I wish few brands are associated with Amazon.
