Delivery was not satisfactory

I had ordered a total of 5 plants. Got delivered 4 plants. And to resolve the issue I had to take multiple follow up emails to be rewarded with 50 rupees gift card. The actual cost of plant that wasn't delivered was 80 rupees. Although this is my 3rd order and the first time such incident has happened. Still would appreciate a better response appropriate refund for the amount the actual plant was worth.
