Flipkart has apologised after they told a customer from Nagaland that it doesn’t supply goods to places outside India, the company made the faux pass in a recent reply to a customer from Nagaland who asked the company why it was not delivering goods to the northeastern state.
“Sorry to hear that. We appreciate your interest in shopping with us. However, sellers do not provide our services outside India,” Flipkart mentioned in its reply to the customer.
The post uploaded on Dimapur ,Facebook page on Thursday soon went viral leading many to ridicule the e-commerce company and question whether it had granted independence to Nagaland.
“Hello Flipkart, is this true? If true, then don’t you know that Nagaland is not outside India! Shocking really,” Tripura royal scion and founder of Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance Pradyot Manikya Deb Barman tweeted on Thursday.
“We are extremely sorry for the inadvertent error earlier. We strive to ensure serviceability across the nation, including regions in Nagaland. We are happy to connect with you and provide currently available options,” it stated. This prompted an apology later in the day from the Flipkart team.
