A gentle note to @amazonIN:

I might finally stop buying expensive electronic products from @amazonIN. The main reason is the Open Box Inspection, which one cannot opt out of and which totally ruins the whole experience of getting a new product.

The “open box inspection” process is often rough and hurried, with the delivery person focusing on shooting videos and taking images to prove they have delivered the product. I cannot blame them for their hurry because they have been asked to follow a procedure and have other deliveries to make, but it totally drains the pleasure out of getting a new product.

It often damages the packaging and worst of all, leaves one with the feeling of having almost got a second hand product. Instead of a sleekly packaged package that one looks forward to opening and discovering things, one ends up with a pride that has been opened and handled by someone else, in spite or your paying a premium price tag.

Honestly, unless I have no choice, why the heck would I pay for that?

Isn’t there some better way of doing this?

@Meta @ray_ban Twice in a row, airport security has pulled aside my Meta Ray-Ban glasses for extra screening 😂

They were cleared instantly both times, but now I'm curious - security unfamiliarity? or have you packed some futuristic magic into these things?

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@ccg33k Thanks for the response and clarity

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@1kakashi_hatak @ccg33k What's the Samsung display loot?

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@TataCLiQCare @TataCLiQCare note that the item to return is already handed over to @XpressBees_IN 's agent. They've incorrectly marked as "not picked up"

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@XpressBees_IN your agent came to my house and picked up the parcel. What is this scam?

@TataCLiQCare

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@TataCLiQCare Thanks again, I've responded again.

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@TataCLiQFashion @TataCLiQCare unacceptable experience.

Order disappeared from app, & product delivered in questionable condition:

- Missing original box
- Seal already broken

How can this be trusted? Request immediate refund/replacement.

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@TataCLiQCare Appreciate your response but my issue isn't resolved yet. I can't see your order on my app / website. Notified the same to customer care as well as dmed you.

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@TataCLiQCare I've dm'd you

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

Adding photos for clarity.

Received product with broken seal tag (tampered), no Adidas box, and shoes loosely packed in a damaged outer box.

Also, the order is not visible on the app itself anymore.

Please confirm how this meets quality checks. Need refund ASAP.

@SamsungIndia 4/n
The service centre refused replacement evaluation & said they had no S26 Ultra available to compare with.
I was asked to visit a nearby Samsung showroom to compare the cameras myself.

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@SamsungIndia 2/n
Since day one, the camera on my S26 Ultra has been producing noticeably darker/duller photos compared to other S26 Ultra devices.
I compared with multiple units in my office.
All settings reset. Same lighting.
Yet my phone consistently produces darker images.

@bhash The real EV revolution happens when clean mobility isn’t a luxury, but a right accessible to everyone - from delivery agents to entrepreneurs to families.
That’s the India I hope to see: electric, inclusive, and unstoppable. 🇮🇳

@Suresh_H_31 @ShishirShelke1 Which card offer is bringing it to 125K?

[Gaurav Gupta @gauravguptagg_]

@cmfbynothing Spend time with my parents and family.
Remembering and reminiscing about the nice life they gave me. Lying with my head down their arms.

It has been 10 days since the horrific incident of physical assault at Delhi Airport with me, and an FIR has already been filed in this matter with @DelhiPolice.
However, some pointed questions still need asking:

👉🏼 @DelhiAirport / @DelhiAirportGMR:
🔹 No statement has been issued by DIAL thus far. Is this kind of incident normal at Delhi Airport?
🔹 What steps have you taken to make it safe for parents with young kids & infants?
🔹 When are you releasing the CCTV footage of the incident? I have made repeated requests for the same now. In similar incidents in the past, the footage was released very promptly.

👉🏼 @DGCAIndia:
🔹 No statement on the incident by DGCA thus far. Is this normal behaviour for a pilot?
🔹 What action can be expected against the pilot going forward, knowing that there is a severe pilot shortage in India?
🔹 Have you reviewed the CCTV footage? Do you think such a person is fit to be in the cockpit?
🔹 I have sent a formal complaint to you on email today.

👉🏼 @AirIndiaX:
🔹 What is the date by which I can expect a final decision to be taken on Capt. Sejwal?
🔹 For how many days is he suspended as of now?
🔹 For similar behaviour, a passenger would have been put on no-fly list. What about this?

👉🏼 @flyspicejet / @IndiGo6E:
🔹 I was traveling on SpiceJet and Sejwal was travelling on Indigo that day. A formal complaint has been sent to both the airlines. I request you to put Virender Sejwal on your respective no-fly lists.

Exploitation, when your competition is suffering.
Exploitation of people who are already vulnerable.

Those who must travel, must.. travel: to write an exam, to attend final rites, to attend a wedding, to make a final visit home, to visit a critically ill family member in the ICU. Life doesn’t pause, and neither do these moments.

Sir Ratan Tata built a legacy rooted in empathy & fairness. If he were around today, I truly believe he would never have let this stand.
