Flipkart has one of the worst customer service experiences in India.
While issues are not uncommon with e-tailers, an engineering marvel could have prioritized the customer experience.
Once when the phone delivered to the wrong number Flipkart customer service asked a user to wipe a functional phone and return it for an exchange, and the delivery driver had no options to fix it.
There were no delivery notifications, and calls to customer service were time-consuming.
Flipkart customer service is almost nonexistent and CES is abysmal, which is frustrating to customers because they cannot connect with anyone and resolve their issues.
Even the Flipkart website and platform displays or says one thing but delivers differently.
The author turned to social media to resolve his issues, and only after a post did any help emerge.
It's surprising that customers are still drawn to Flipkart given the customer experience as compared to Amazon.
The departments in Flipkart don't work together, and customer service agents know very little about engineering or delivery issues.
Flipkart has no empathy for the customer experience and is at risk of seeing decreasing numbers come the future.
