Snapdeal does it again: Man orders MacBook Pro, gets heater worth Rs 600 instead

First, a Vim bar in place of a Samsung phone. Then, marbles instead of an iPhone. And now — a fan heater instead of a MacBook Pro. Somebody at Snapdeal, or one of Snapdeal’s distributors — has a wicked sense of humour. Or maybe he or she really hates the world and this is their form of odd revenge.

AFP[/caption] A report on BGR says that Mumbai’s Nitin Chhabria ordered the Rs 84,000 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro and received a New Star Fan Heater worth Rs 600 instead. It may sound funny (and come on, it is a little funny) until it happens to you. Chhabria clearly isn’t laughing. He expected a fancy Apple computer packed in immaculate style and ended up with a heater. Well, at least Snapdeal’s didn’t mix up winter with summer. Chhabria immediately filed a complaint with Snapdeal, who acknowledged that the mistake was due to a mix-up at the warehouse. The report adds that Chhabria asked for a refund on his credit card but the popular shopping website have given him their word that they’ll send him the laptop by the first half of the next day. But Snapdeal is not the only e-commerce site to mess up. Even Flipkart has had goof-ups in their delivery. They sent an empty box three times in a row to a man who ordered a pen drive.  But Snapdeal is clearly ahead in the goof-up game — and more creative too. At least they ensured that while Chhabria waits for his MacBook — he can get cozy tonight next to the heater. Click here to read the full BGR report.
