Hi All,
I want to inform everyone about the poor customer support of shopclues.com. I had ordered 1 western digital WD 2TB 3.5” internal hard drive from shopclues. Order no.5883449 in the name of my sister Yugandhara Pethkar. The product arrived on 22/8/2013 and upon fitting I found it was not working and called their customer care on 24/8/2013 for returning the same and refund of money but they sent me a mail to visit the western digital service center. I further called on their customer care for the same on 28/8/2013. They assured that they will take step for return but again the sent me the same mail stating to visit the western digital service center.
First they send me defective hard drive and when I contacted them to process return of the same under their 10 day hassle free return policy, they simply back tracked saying that the same will be replaced by the western digital service center as it has manufacturer warranty. Now my problem is western digital takes around a month to process the same. Why should I after paying RS 6039/- spend more money visiting the service center (2 or 3 times) which is 20 kms from here and then wait for a month for my hard drive?
Further, the warranty which is provided is from the date of purchase. In all this I will also lose warranty period of around 1 month or more. So I request to all that before placing any order with shopclues please remember my grievance with shopclues.
To prove my case here is the mail conversation between me and shopclues:

The hard disk purchased through your website is not in the working condition. I tried to connect the drive to my computer but the drive is not getting detected. There is some error in the hard disk due to which I am facing this problem.
Order No. - 5883449
Bill No. - SC1450/2013-2014
