Other day Flipkart did a fabulous thing to me.
I had placed an online order for a Scrabble Board, and also made the payment through my credit card.(At the time of placing the order I noticed that Flipkart had in its stock two pieces of the type of scrabble board that I ordered).
After acknowledging the receiving of the payment, Flipkart sent the message that the item would be delivered within 7 days.
However, around 5 days after placing the order Flipkart sent me this sweet message that my order was being cancelled, as they had run out of stock immediately after receiving my order, and the money would be refunded within eight working days.
I called up Flipkart and gave them a blasting. I asked the person that how could they run out of stock after receiving the order, when at least two pieces of the items were already there in their stock when I placed the order. I told the guy that ideally they should have kept one of the two items reserved for me as they had already taken my order and had made the commitment to deliver the same to me.
Unfortunately the Flipkart person who took my call was just horrible. He just kept parroting only one thing - "Sir, I can understand your feelings. But actually the seller ran out of stock".
Ultimately I realized that it was just meaningless to talk to the duffer, and disconnected the call.
