Urgent action from BIS needed
We some time back bought a mixer and grinder from ecommerce site. Now that mixi throws fire and the multinational company has not customer service number to be found.
Can BIS or consumer ministry please please make a rule that before you approve a consumer product a mandatory requirement is put in for the company to have a service network and its information available on its website.

My comments are that they won't take garrenty nor they take any action for its Replacement.

E-commerce companies themselves do not supply any articles to the customers and are simply working as mediators and commission agents, who on receipt an order simply forward to a specific supplier for further action.

If it is under manufacturer's warranty, you do have their service/authorised service networks almost in every city & towns. Therefore, one should ensure that the product(s) being ordered is/are under the warranty of the manufacturers to avoid such inconvenience. more
