Flipkart Minutes iPhone 16 Delivery Delayed, Wrong Variant Sent, Refund Processed

The episode underscores questions over ultra-fast delivery reliability during Flipkart’s flagship sale.

Overview

  • Buyer Rajath said he ordered two iPhone 16 units configured as 256GB during Big Billion Days, including one via Flipkart Minutes promising near‑instant delivery.
  • The Flipkart Minutes order reached around 12:53 am after hours of delays and anxious tracking of the delivery agent’s movements.
  • He later discovered the delivered phone was 128GB and that the invoice IMEI did not match the number on the box, raising authenticity concerns.
  • After he submitted photos to support, Flipkart reviewed the case, scheduled a pickup, and issued a refund, and he acknowledged not checking storage at handover.
  • His X post gained traction as other customers reported canceled iPhone orders and questioned Flipkart’s advertised sale prices.
