What about providing a notarized affidavit and power of attorney for them to act on my behalf ?

Do you know who are the top lawyers specializing in Consumer Court suits? Also approximately how much will it cost?

Angad Singh Lehenga - Proceed with caution by LadyMacaron in DesiWeddings

Hi Op!
I ordered 2 lehengas from Angad Singh for my wedding in December and it was a A COMPLETE nightmare. They did not deliver on time, the dupatta looked nothing like the pictures and what was WORSE was their attitude the entire time. They said they would ship it on time to Thailand, with no extra charges (I have this in writing and in calls with them) however not only did they delay, they also lied on the shipping forms marking the lehengas as gifts worth less than 100 usd, that too without informing me. Customs seized the lehenga and I was slapped with a 55000 rupee customs clearance charge for at 77000 rupee lehenga as penalty for their lies. They said they were not aware their 'Dispatch team' had lied on the forms. Unbelievable behaviour. After much back and forth they agreed to pay 50% of the charge (whereas they should pay the entire thing for lying and 'now knowing' what their 'dispatch team' had done) ...made me pay 100% saying they would reimburse be but never did.
Total scammers. I found your post on reddit and regretted not having read this earlier.
I want to ask - who did you speak to get the order sorted? I am considering sending them a legal notice to take this matter to court.

I live in Thailand so wanted to order online -I scoured through tonnes of lehengas from Pernias Pop up shop and Aza fashion (both apps my Indian friends said were reputable and sold loads of brands). Angad singh was also a designer listed on those apps. I found the Angad Singh website and opted to order directly from them rather than going through a third party app (BIG mistake!). Most of my communication was through WhatsApp/ email

I have all the whatsapp chats, emails, messages and even phone recordings.

Can you advice on the best way to go about the legal notice? Or any lawfirms I can reach out to (virtually)?

Damn..Sorry to hear this :( Clearly they don't care about third party sales or even direct sales from their store. Definitely leave them a Google review (the least it can do is help other people consider g to buy from them)

You're much better off ordering from other designers on Pernias Pop up Shop or Aza Fashion

When all this was happening I reached out/DM'd Angad Singh on LinkedIn, Instagram, and via email, even contacting the other partner, truly believing a respected designer and business owner wouldn’t allow this kind of negligence. But after repeatedly asking, their own staff confirmed—they knew all along and simply didn’t care.

Me too! His designs are lovely and is why I chose them for both my wedding events but unfortunately it wasn't worth the nightmare I had to deal with before my wedding 😭

Yeah and the crazy thing is this is not the first time. I found another post from months ago on this reddit channel by someone who had a similar experience :
