Open Box Delivery is a service from Flipkart which ensures that you only receive what you ordered. Under this unique service, the delivery executive will open the package in front of you at the time of delivery. Both outside box as well as the brand package. This means the packaging is done by Flipkart and the packaging is done by the brand. If the product you ordered is missing, damaged, or different from what you ordered, the delivery executive will take back the package, and you will get a refund immediately.

Upon providing the OTP to the delivery executive, your Open Box Delivery is considered finalized. This indicates that you have received the correct product. If you encounter any issues with the product, reach out to Flipkart customer support for resolution.
Open box delivery is just trapping and fraud. Here you just count the correct number of items and physical appearance of items. Once this ends now you actually see the performance or quality of the products. If now you complain the company will get rid of you saying that the count and appearance were OK and can’t return or replace the product. This happened with me when a bought a BenQ monitor 27″ via Flipkart.
I’m interested
When I received my order, I have found one item of another company than actual ordered. I had returned the item to the delivery boy at the same time and he had even showed me the refund request but now when I am checking the status of the item, it does not show the refund request. What should I do??
You need to contact the Flipkart support.
I ordered a size 9 shoes, but if it doesn’t fit my legs can I return to delivery boy while doing open box
No. You can’t. You can only raise a return request if something is missing in the box or the product is damaged. If you have ordered the size 9 shoe and you have received the right size, you cannot return it on the spot. You can later request for return or replacement by talking to customer support.
I ordered shoes from Flipkart of Skechers and received completely different brand of shoes and now Flipkart is not picking the shoes and not giving me refund
I think you need to approach them via Twitter for a faster resolution.
I bought tv in Flipkart, I later come to know which is an option called open box delivery before I didn’t know that.
As delivery person also not said anything like to check any damages after an hr i opened the box there the tv panel was cracked. So what is the process now to replace or return this product.
Hi Sujatha, As far as I know, the cracked screen doesn’t come under warranty. You ordered the product with Open Box Delivery, which means you must report the issue before providing the OTP to the delivery executive. Once you give the OTP to the delivery executive, he’ll complete the order. This means you received a damage-free product. It’s Better you talk to Flipkart support once as there is no other way you can do it through the app or the website.
