Tech YouTuber slams Flipkart after getting used MacBook Pro in sealed box: ‘This isn't a mistake, it's negligence'
Devanshu Dhandhal, a tech YouTuber, recently shared how he had an unpleasant experience with Flipkart, where he was scammed by a seller not once but twice. Revealing details of the incident, Dhandhal called out the seller, who has allegedly been scamming customers since 2023. Dhandhal said it all began when he ordered a MacBook Pro worth Rs 2.6 lakh from Flipkart. However, he reportedly received an old and used model in a sealed Apple box. He requested a replacement and unboxed the laptop at the EKart office, and was shocked to receive an old MacBook again, he said. 'I immediately requested a replacement, and this time I unboxed the product at the EKart office under CCTV, and again the MacBook had smudges and marks so basically not new (second unboxing video attached below). 2 times. 2 wrong deliveries,' he wrote on X. Dhandhal said he reached out to customer support, which initiated a return and offered him compensation of Rs 13,000 and Rs 18,000 when he rejected the offer. 'After a discussion with customer care they started a return and then after 2 days they called me and offered me a compensation of 13K which I rejected, then 18K I rejected again and finally they offered me 10% which I rejected again,' he shared. The YouTuber claimed that Flipkart rejected the return after the negotiation. 'And after all this negotiation they rejected the return. So I called them again and I asked for 10% compensation as it was a lot of hassle by talking to them. And moreover, I was able to clean the marks but the laptop was not new in the first place,' Dhandhal said. He also claimed that the seller has been scamming customers for years. 'Users on LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, and X have posted about the same seller since 2023,' he wrote. See the post here: I just got scammed on @Flipkart — not once, but TWICE. So I ordered a ₹2.6 lakh MacBook Pro and got a used, old model inside a sealed Apple box. We filmed the entire open box delivery, you can see that in first attached video. I immediately requested a replacement, and this… — Devanshu Dhandhal (@mrtechpedia) June 8, 2025 Tagging Flipkart, Dhandhal said, '…this isn't a mistake, it's negligence. You are enabling fraud through your platform.' Soon after the post came to light, Flipkart issued an apology and promised to look into the matter. 'We'd never want you to get anything but what you ordered and are extremely sorry about this instance. We want to sort this out for you. Please help us with your order details securely, so we can look into this. Awaiting your response,' the company responded.

SIP inflows hit all-time high of Rs 26,688 crore in May
New Delhi: Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) inflows reached an all-time high of Rs 26,688 crore in May, from Rs 26,632 crore in April, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) on Tuesday. The highest-ever inflow of SIP shows that people are investing in mutual funds from a long-term perspective. According to the AMFI data, the number of contributing SIP accounts increased to 8.56 crore in May, from 8.38 crore in the previous month. "Investor preferences are evolving. There's a clear lean toward equity and hybrid funds, driven by long-term growth outlooks and a cautious stance on debt. Retail participation is also surging. The mutual fund revolution is becoming mainstream," said Narender Singh, smallcase Manager and Founder of Growth Investing. The total assets under management (AUM) under SIP rose from Rs 13.90 lakh crore in April to Rs 14.61 lakh crore. SIP AUM was around 20.24 per cent of the total AUM of the mutual fund industry in May --- from 19.9 per cent in April. According to the AMFI data, the SIP stoppage ratio weakened in May. About 59 lakh SIP accounts were closed in May, while SIPs were closed or matured for 43 lakh accounts. The total number of SIP accounts in May was 9.06 crore. 'SIP numbers over Rs 26,000 crore is very encouraging, which implies that the fresh investment preferred route has been SIP than lumpsum,' said Akhil Chaturvedi, Executive Director and Chief Business Officer, Motilal Oswal AMC. Meanwhile, Assets Under Management (AUM) for equity mutual funds rose to Rs 72.2 lakh crore in May, up 4.85 per cent from nearly Rs 70 lakh crore in April. Investors are staying invested, but becoming selective. Equity flows are slowing, debt is stabilising, and hybrid/passive categories are thriving. Market momentum and SIP discipline continue to support AUM growth, said analysts.
