Online shopping has advantages as well as disadvantages. It is, however, not that bad that makes the headlines more often. From scams to delivery of wrong items, we have seen many users voicing their concerns. Now, adding to the list of cons is a recent incident where a woman said she ordered an Apple Watch from Amazon but received a fake ‘Fit Life’ watch. He also claimed that he made several calls to Amazon India but the customer care executives did not pay attention to his problem. Fed up with the lack of proper customer service, the woman, Sanaya, posted her complaint on Twitter
Sanaya also tagged Apple’s help desk in her tweet. The post has now gone viral.
Sanaya said she ordered an Apple Watch Series 8 on July 8 for Rs 50,900. Estimated delivery date was July 9. After the product was delivered, he said he was surprised to learn that he was given a ‘Fit Life’ watch instead of an Apple Watch.
