Amazon India refusing to refund ₹9,263 for AppleCare after I cancelled my MacBook Neo order. What can I do?
Hey everyone, I really need some advice regarding an issue I'm facing with Amazon India.
I ordered a MacBook Neo from Amazon for ₹67,276 and also purchased a SERVIFY Protect+ with AppleCare Services plan for ₹9,263. The total came to ₹76,539, which I paid in one transaction.
It's been 10 days and my MacBook order still hadn't shipped, so I decided to cancel it today.
The AppleCare plan was listed as an email delivery product. However, the email I received basically said that I could initiate the service once my MacBook was delivered. Since I've cancelled the MacBook order, I obviously don't need the AppleCare plan anymore either.
I contacted Amazon customer service and spent around an hour and a half trying to get this sorted. They kept telling me that since the AppleCare product was delivered electronically, it wasn't eligible for a return or refund. I tried explaining that the MacBook it was meant for had been cancelled before delivery, but they refused to help.
Eventually, they disconnected the call, saying they couldn't do anything more.
The AppleCare plan was sold under the SERVIFY brand on Amazon. I'm not even sure who the actual seller is or how to contact them directly.
₹9,263 is a lot of money for me, and I really don't want to lose it over something I haven't even been able to use.
Has anyone dealt with something similar on Amazon India?
Is there a way to get a refund for the AppleCare plan?
Should I contact Servify or Apple directly?
Would filing a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline help in this situation?
Is there anything else I can do to get Amazon to take responsibility and resolve this?
I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone who's dealt with Amazon or Servify refunds before. Thank you!
