This loser (a guy in white clothes) came with a big package for delivery, claiming He cannot perform “unboxing and delivery”. We have to accept it as it is. I refused. He called some random people and they said there was no such facility. He was horrified because I recorded it all. Tell his criminal associates in Kannada that I have recorded everything.

We got this product because I documented everything, otherwise I’m sure he would have given me some random package.

In the past, Amazon sent me a laptop with a 4th gen i5 processor instead of the 8th gen I ordered. My stupid ass realized this a year later when I ran some benchmarks.
The Flipkart guys were clearly in a hurry as I apparently took more time than I should have. (In my defense, I can’t accept a 90k laptop without being sure it’s correct)
I finally gave him 200 rupees and he waited happily for 45 minutes. He continued for 2-3 deliveries and then came back and took the OTP from my hands.
