Defective set-top box bought from Amazon replace
Standard response
Manish Solanki purchased a set-top box for Rs. 2,074 from Amazon with three month’s warranty. After two months the set-top box stopped working and so Manish complained to Amazon about it. Amazon conveyed the issue to the seller Homelett. Homelett responded that it would look into the matter and get back to Manish but that never happened. Every time Manish would contact Homelett for his problem, he would get a standard response. He thus wrote to CERS for intervention.
CERS was able to convince Homelett to give Manish a replacement for his set-top box. However, Manish received a faulty box as a replacement. CERS advised him to return the faulty box and continued to urge Homelett to fulfil its commitment. Finally, after constant follow-up from CERS, Homelett sent a new set-top to Manish which has been working satisfactorily
Right to replacement
Tip
