Ludhiana: Wrong delivery costs e-commerce giant ₹22,000
In a strong message to e-commerce platforms, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ludhiana, has directed Amazon India to refund the full amount to a consumer for delivering a wrong product and failing to resolve the issue despite repeated complaints. The commission also imposed a compensation of ₹7,000 on the company for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice. The order came in response to a complaint filed by Sunil Bajaj, a resident of Pakhowal Road, Ludhiana, who had ordered a Glen 90cm 1200 m³/hr BLDC filterless auto-clean chimney through Amazon on August 15, 2024, as part of an Independence Day discount offer. The chimney was priced at ₹14,414.82 against its original MRP of ₹17,290. Bajaj had also purchased an extended warranty plan worth ₹694.05 from Acko Insurance through Amazon. The complainant made the payment using his son's credit card and the product was to be delivered by August 17, 2024. However, on August 18, the product was delivered in his absence without generating any OTP verification. To his shock, Bajaj later discovered that the item received was a different chimney model, billed to another customer named Anmol from Amritsar, priced at ₹11,990. Despite multiple calls and emails to Amazon's customer support, including assurances from executives, the issue remained unresolved. Instead of rectifying the mistake, Amazon allegedly advised the complainant to place a fresh order at the current market price of ₹20,999, and assured that the price difference would be credited to his Amazon Pay balance after the return window expired. The Commission, after examining all records, concluded that Amazon had indulged in unfair trade practice as defined under Section 2(47)(viii) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The panel noted that the company neither replaced the wrongly delivered item nor refunded the amount within the stipulated time. The commission's presiding officer Sanjeev Batra and member Monika Bhagat observed that the complainant had been caused mental harassment and financial loss, and held Amazon accountable for negligent service. The e-commerce giant was ordered to refund the price of the product, ₹14,414.82 and ₹694.05 for the extended warranty. The commission also directed Amazon to pay ₹7,000 as compensation and litigation cost.

Amazon makes major luxury play that customers will love
I buy almost everything online from Amazon. Household staples, weekly groceries, last-minute gifts - you name it, it's probably arriving in a box with that familiar smile on it. I even love when a retailer offers Amazon Pay on its own site. Let's be honest - no one enjoys typing out their shipping address and credit card number for the hundredth time. With a single click, the order is done. Related: Amazon picks impressive partner for new storefront Convenience is everything. I've lost count of how many carts I've abandoned just because I couldn't check out with Amazon Pay, PayPal, or Shop. Probably saved myself thousands, to be honest. There is one category I've never turned to Amazon for: luxury. Designer handbags, premium fashion, high-end accessories? Until now, Amazon wasn't even on my radar for those purchases. But it looks like that may change. Amazon (AMZN) has been quietly building out its luxury offerings since launching Amazon Luxury Stores in 2020. But after an initial pandemic-fueled push, the effort largely faded from the spotlight. Now, the e-commerce giant is making a major new play, and it's doing it with the help of secondhand luxury marketplace Rebag. According to a June 10 press release, Rebag launched its biggest partnership yet, bringing nearly its entire inventory (about 30,000 designer bags!) to Amazon Luxury Stores. Shoppers can now browse everything from a $1,000 red Gucci bag to a $3,400 edgy Chanel Flap bag or even a $21,000 gray Hermes Birkin bag - all with the same convenience they expect from Amazon Prime. Related: Chanel acts on climate: tackling fashion's growing waste problem Honestly, this is dangerous news for my credit card. "With Amazon, we have very wide goals and want to be as broad as possible in the category," said Rebag CEO Charles Gorra. It's a smart move. According to a Vogue Business survey, 37% of luxury consumers are cutting back on spending. With tariffs also driving up costs, Amazon's massive reach offers brands a way to tap into new customers who may not shop at traditional luxury retailers. And for Rebag, this isn't its first experiment with mass-market partners. In January, the company teamed up with Walmart. Now, Amazon's scale presents an even bigger opportunity. Amazon's luxury ambitions are clear. With a reported 83% of U.S. households shopping on the platform, the e-commerce giant sees a massive opportunity to bring high-end fashion to a broader audience. For Rebag, this partnership is about reaching beyond its core markets in New York, California, and Florida. Amazon allows it to target luxury shoppers in less saturated regions, from Texas to the Midwest. "When there's such a massive audience, even a small share of that audience is very meaningful user gains for us," Gorra said. It's a calculated bet. While some luxury shoppers still prefer the tactile experience of in-store browsing, many are increasingly comfortable making high-end purchases online. But Amazon faces hurdles. Its utilitarian interface lacks the aspirational feel of platforms like Mytheresa. And brand perception remains a challenge; not all luxury labels are eager to align with Amazon's mass-market image. Still, as companies like Rebag and Saks embrace the platform, Amazon's luxury experiment is gaining momentum. If it succeeds, the way we shop for designer goods might never be the same. Looks like even hiding my credit cards might not save me from this one.
