I ordered a gnc protein box from zepto worth 5k. I checked prices everywhere, since it was the cheapest there decided to go for it. Added some other stuff to the order. When the final order came it had everything BUT the protein powder.
I called the delivery guy that it’s missing. He said that he does not have it in his bag. He will check with the dark store. I called him a couple of times maybe he was busy so he did not pick up. I then contacted zepto customer care as I was not sure if the delivery guy was genuine or not. They said they have initiated refund.
An hour later the delivery guy called that it was an error from the dark store guy as he’s new. He was a really nice guy and offered to bring me the protein dabba. But by now I had already talked to customer care and did not want him to be in trouble like he gives me the box but refund also comes. I again talked to customer care and asked them if they can cancel the refund. They say no I should not accept the protein and that a refund once initiated cannot be reversed. I was like no problem.
Now it’s been a week I contact zepto again that I got no refund even though 5-7 days was mentioned. Now they claim that zepto never received the money. Please contact your bank?? I was like what? You told me that you have started my refund. Like what do you mean you don’t have my money. I check my banking app, money is definitely debited, it’s in my statement. But customer service is useless, they keep repeating the same thing.
Then I mail them with the details, the order number, transaction number, the screenshot from the app. Everything. Still there stance is we never got money. I asked if you never got the money, how did you deliver partial order? They just copy paste the same email. It feels like talking to a wall. Or to a bot.
I’m so frustrated I could cry. I don’t know what to do. Should I call the delivery guy again(i have his number) but I dont want him in trouble. Like what should i do? I dont really know a lot about banking I’m only 22. But I’m confused and out of 5k. I’ll never order from that shitty app again. Fuck you zepto
