I bought a mouse for my laptop for Rs 169 on Infibeam.com(Order ID:10046222) as my previous purchase of books from this site had been fine. I received an defective mouse and since the product had to be returned back in two days from the delivery date, I informed the customer care immediately via email but didn’t see any reply from them for weeks together.
Then I called up their customer care number and they took away the product but they returned the same product to me few days later. I informed this again to them via email and yet again didn’t see any reply for many days and again called them up. They asked to me take it to the company service center for repair and so I would had to spend hundreds of rupees for a product worth just Rs 169 for their mistake.
Later they said they will pick it up again and they did but I had asked for refund as I had purchased another mouse by then. But they again shipped the mouse to me and since then I have been just trying to follow up with them over emails and phone but nothing happens. They decline giving any refund for the product or even the store credit for the purchase of any other product.
Each time they give me a call, they blame me for not returning the product within 2 days from the date of delivery whereas I had emailed them immediately after finding the product is faulty but they don’t even reply for few weeks.
The last reply I received from them was to give them some more time to process my request to refund just Rs 169 where its already been more than 6 months since I had placed the order online. If they play with customers like us this way for just few rupees, image getting a refund from them for defective products that they deliver worth thousands. For sure, there is a big level of fraud going on from Infibeam management and should be definitely taught a lesson.
My serious suggestion is to stop buying anything from this site due to their pathetic product quality and customer service. Below is the email communication thread that I exchanged with them from past 6 months and more.

Hello,
I received the replacement of the item just now but this is also defective. The mouse pointer doesn’t move correctly and it just keeps shaking/shivering. Looks like the same item which I had returned to Infibeam is now been returned to me in the same defective state. Can you please take this item back and process for refund of the amount I paid for this?
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
On Jan 19th, I ordered this product, it was shipped on Jan 25th and I had reported the product to be faulty via email on Jan 30th the day I received the product but no action was taken. After I called up customer care seeing no reply from your side, the product was scheduled to be picked up on Feb 13th and then picked up on 15th Feb. Then the same old defective product was returned to me later and I again reported it to be faulty via email and saw no response again.
When I called up customer care again, it was picked up for the second time. By then I had already purchased another product from some other online portal. Since I didn’t want the same old defective product to be returned to me, I declined to accept the product back and requested for refund.
Since Jan 30th, the day I reported the product to be faulty for the first time, its more than 6.5 months now and you are still asking me to give you some more time. I got multiple calls regarding this since then but I haven’t got the refund back yet that too for such a small amount. Imagine I purchase a big product worth few tens of thousands from you, it turns out defective and you take months and years together this way, then what would be the amount of problems the customer would face?
Can you please let me know as still how many months or years will it take for my refund such that I can make up my mind?
Thanks and regards
