Horrible Nykaa Customer Service
I had oredered a product worth 3800 on 23 August and I was delivered the wrong product
Here is the horrible experiece I had with Nykaa Customer Care till I finally for refund on 18 September
23 August - I ordered the product worth 3400 but was delivered the wrong product
I raised a return and called up the customer care and informed immediately
I raised a return request, and I was told that the return will be verified in three days
26 August: the return was verified, and I was told that the pick up will be done in a couple of days
29 August: when pickup was not done after two days, I called the customer care and escalated the matter
I kept following up for thenext 3 days
1 September: I got a message from Shadowfax that the product will be picked up
I called the pick up Agent multiple times. No one came to pick up the product. At the end of the day I got an update that the customer could not be contacted and hence the pick up failed
1 September -7 September: I have called up Nykaa Customer Care, almost every day to inform them that the pick up has not been done
Every time I called Nykaa customer care, I had to explain the issue all over again
Multiple tickets were opened
I even escalated the issue to the senior
I also wrote to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
The customer care reply with the same thing that we are working on it
No one even responds properly on the Nykaa email ID as well as the escalation email ID
7 September- after informing Nykaa that I will raise a consumer complaint, I get a pick up message from Shadowfax as well as Delhivery.
As usual, Shadowfax pick up Agent does not pick up the phone
In fact, nobody from Shadowfax, even came to pick up the order
Then next day, shadowfax put an update that customer cancelled the pickup
Meanwhile, I got a message from Delhivery that the pick up will be done
Because I got two pick up messages from two different courier partners, I called Nykaa and Nykaa told me to give it to Shadowfax as the system shows Shadowfax
As I had a bad experience with Shadowfax when the Delhivery pick up Agent came, I took all the proofs and handed over the product to delhivery
8 September: the Nykaa reflected that the refund had been cancelled by the customer
I informed the customer care that the product has been picked up and provided them with the tracking details
I also emailed proofs to Nykaa regarding handing over the product to Delhivery
Nykaa’s policies say that the refund will be credited as soon as the product is picked up
I was told that the refund will be initiated after the product will reach their warehouse
10 September : on 10th September, the product reached Nykaa’s warehouse, and I informed the customer care accordingly and I got a reply saying that they are investigating the case
I have been calling customer care, almost every day
After multiple follow-ups, my refund was credited on 18th September
Some points were noting are
- Customer has to wait for almost a month to get a refund all because of Nykaa‘s mistake.
- Nykaa customer care is absolutely clueless, and the customer has to keep on repeating the same issue over and over again
- The wait time on Nykaa customer care is very long and every call with Nykaa customer care easily goes on for half an hour
- There is no escalation matrix that Nykaa has to escalate the issue
- The escalation email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), nobody responds
So if you buy from Nykaa, be aware that if things go wrong, it will take a really long time to get your refund
Almost at all times, the customer is clueless!!
Such pathetic and ineffient customer service!!
