Dear Sir, Hope you are well. I placed an order for a remote-controlled truck for my teenage son a few days back which was delivered yesterday, August 21st. The truck and its remote both use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
Additionally
, a user manual with instructions on operating the
toy
was provided in the package. Per the description on your website, the
toy
also
has a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase. When my son put the supplied batteries in and tried to operate the
toy
, neither the truck nor the remote functioned. We
also
tried to troubleshoot the problem. We first tried charging both batteries for a few hours but that did not work. We
also
tried operating the
toy
with all cables attached but that did not work either. Please repair the issues with the
toy
or provide a replacement. If either is not possible, please refund the amount paid for the order and
also
provide a prepaid shipping label so I can ship it back to you. Thanks for your time and I look forward to your prompt response on
this
matter.
Also
, I have attached the invoice for your reference and included my contact details below. Yours sincerely, Nakulesh

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
