  Please provide us with more details to effectively mitigate the problem and take it back to our vendors and fix the issues in a timely manner.

  We are a online grocery delivery business curating to work with multiple vendors. All our prices, expiry dates and rest are available to consumers at the time of pickup/ delivery and are free to return them whenever they want. We also have an official channel to claim complaints and have responses done on time. Our SLA are usually within 24 hours to respond. Some of our products are imported directly from multiple countries resulting in non standard way of printing the dates on the boxes. We control the line on expiry dates of products imported directly. The ones we buy from our supplier network we try to do our best to remove these based on dates printed on the cases. 

  If we know about the transaction records and product details it will be easy to work with our vendors and fix the problems on a timely manner. Also we would request them to reach via official channels first @ **************** for quick resolution before claiming on other areas.

  I am rejecting this response because: My account is by the name of *********************** (my husband's name) - *******************; Order #****** - my last order with them. 

  I did receive a call, but it was not a satisfactory response.  

  I want the item replaced with fresh products, to which they said all their packages of that particular item (***************************) is near expiry. Even the replacement they sent me of 1-2 products (eg Asofetida - expiring in 6 months from now) are very near to expiry. 

  This is happening after I give a special note on my every order to please check expiry date before sending. 

  This is a systemic fraud performed by this business.

   

  Sincerely,
