I am filing this complaint regarding the mishandling of my return for Order No. 40301649111 for a Spider-Man Boxy Fit T-Shirt, for which I paid ₹1,840.


The order was delivered on 29/07/2026, and the order page clearly showed a return deadline of 29/08/2026.


On 18/08/2026, Bershka confirmed my return and collection request. Subsequently, in an email dated 04/09/2026, Bershka itself confirmed that the order was delivered on 29/07/2026 and that the return was processed successfully on 18/08/2026.


However, Bershka later claimed that the returned T-shirt was received in a “damaged/worn condition” and refused to process my refund. I immediately disputed this and clearly stated that I had returned the item in the same condition in which I received it and had not worn, damaged, or intentionally deteriorated the product.


I specifically asked Bershka on call to provide details of the alleged damage/wear and any available inspection evidence or photographs. Instead of providing such evidence or giving a proper resolution, Bershka continued to reject my refund.


In its latest response dated 10/09/2026, Bershka again stated that the item was allegedly damaged/worn and offered to reship the item only if I paid ₹410 in shipping charges.


This handling is highly concerning because Bershka's own correspondence confirms that the return was processed on 18/08/2026, while the stated return deadline was 29/08/2026. Therefore, the return was within the stated return period. The remaining dispute is the alleged condition of the returned item, for which Bershka has not provided the evidence requested by me.


I have also had to wait several days between responses and have repeatedly received generic responses without a satisfactory resolution.


I request that Bershka:


  1. Conduct a proper review of my return case.
  2. Provide the inspection details/evidence supporting the allegation that the item was returned damaged or worn.
  3. Process my refund of ₹1,840, subject to the applicable return terms.
  4. Withdraw the disputed ₹410 reshipment charge.
  5. Provide a clear and substantive response addressing the above points rather than another generic response.

I am attaching the relevant order details, return confirmation, Bershka's damaged/worn allegation, my response disputing the allegation and requesting evidence, Bershka's subsequent rejection, and its latest response regarding the ₹410 reshipment charge.WhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.54 PM.jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.55 PM (1).jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.55 PM (2).jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.55 PM.jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.56 PM (1).jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.56 PM (2).jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.56 PM.jpegWhatsApp Image 2026-09-10 at 6.10.57 PM.jpeg

Hello @sanketnijhawan

We have carefully reviewed your complaint against Bershka Retail India Private Limited.

As per your submission, you purchased a Spider-Man Boxy Fit T-Shirt (Order No. 40301649111) for ₹1,840, delivered on July 29, 2026 with a stated return deadline of August 29, 2026. You initiated a return on August 18, 2026 — well within the return window — and Bershka themselves confirmed via email on September 4, 2026 that the return was successfully processed on August 18, 2026.

Despite this, Bershka subsequently claimed the item was returned in a "damaged/worn condition" and refused your refund. When you requested inspection evidence or photographs to support this allegation, none were provided. In their latest response dated September 10, 2026, Bershka offered to reship the item only upon payment of ₹410 in shipping charges — an entirely unacceptable condition given that their own correspondence confirms the return was valid and successfully processed.

We acknowledge receipt of your complaint along with all the WhatsApp screenshots, order details, return confirmation, and Bershka's correspondence you have attached.

Before filing a case at e-jagriti.gov.in, we strongly suggest you first send a formal Legal Notice to:

Country Manager / Director
Bershka Retail India Private Limited
8th Floor, Ambience Corporate Tower-II, Plot No. 3,
Unit 1, Gurugram – 122002, Haryana

Sending a registered legal notice often compels the opposite party to respond or settle before the matter reaches consumer court.
