NitroNeo Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 @gaara, can you please post the pics both front and back of the card. Also read reviews on amazon india usually people post pics and details of fakes. Check 1 and 2 star reviews and see if people say it is a fake or not. Also check most helpful reviews and critical reviews. Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playstation Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 So that first thing u buy is a smartphone They are going app only.. They get more user data They can cut down on running cost by closing websites Overall decrease in running cost. I don't like smartphone...I don't even like carrying normal phone but majboori hai ....kahi na kahi kaam ane lagta hai... Anyways pretty poor decision by them to cut access to normal pc users...not everywhere you can go for cost cutting also.....Flipkart i can live with it...stopped using it quite a lot ..but amazon doing this is really killing online shopping experience for me. I will write a email to Amazon India regarding this. I know nothing much will happen with 1 person but they need to hear. Is maintaining a website THAT expensive? Even a good road side dhaba's these days have good websites...aur yeh log bc...naya natak laga ke rakha hai. No. Maintaining website, mobile site and app is expensive. Their maximum sales are from apps, so they want to cut down costs of other channels as it's not worth it. Its really stupid decision, but chutiyon ko kaun samjhaye. Also they mine user data through apps. However it will be limited once android 6.0 becomes more prevalent. +1. I think main reason is getting data. All retail companies believe they can gain a lot from data, like they try to improve recommendations, focus markets etc. From apps they can get more reliable and clean data than web logs. Also think maintaining website and app would cost somewhat similar. There are millions who still prefer to use computer...India is huge market they are literally cutting access too many of us by doing this. Why give better deals to App people only when website is also there?... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Browsing with mobiles for stuff you wanna buy is too tough. I can browse through sites like a beast and reduce my searching time drastically via PC. I can buy properly via PC. Blame this on people who shop senselessly from offices just to show off in front of their colleagues with cheap ego thrills of how they seem to have bought what they want at cheaps. In reality they don't have what they want and they could get a better product if they searched more. Thus without a shadiw of a doubt PCis the best for shopping online. These companies profit on people just acquainted to impulse buying. Now people need to be educated on how to buy properly.

Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk Interesting point about how this is making people impulsive ...I know a friend who was on his mobile all the time while we were sitting during the flipkart billion sale .... Anyways very unethical way of doing business by giving conditions on offers in selected way that can be easily given to others.

AtheK Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 ^^Capitalism,love it or hate it,this is the future, I hate it, Hut they don't care. Also it's crap to compare a normal site with an ecom site, with shot loads of product, dat a entry itself is a pain. Add to it dynamic pricing, amount of QA, having differential pricing for app and siteven. Hardware, engineer,managers,qa, hosting,optimization, databases and so on. MaintainING just the FK site would be running them monthly bill of crores. So obviously they have done their home work, success of big billion day proves it for them. Business decisions have to be taken with mind and not heart, a ND they have their mind set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoRa28 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Add to all what you are saying... Mobiles are reaching interiors of the country and computers aren't. I am privy to lot of board meeting discussions by major retailers and i can say that all they see is how many hits they receive in a day.. The magnitude of hits from apps is far beyond that from websites. Think of this way.. All you need to reach a customer on app is he to have a ~7k device with even 2g speed net. Compare that to a pc and shitty broadband in remote areas of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone has internet for PC at home. Heck the number of people having PCs and laptops at home is way less than people using Mobile Internet.

silentassassin Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 The reason they are going app only is not because of maintenance costs.. It does'nt cost a whole lot to maintain a website. They are going app only to prevent privacy of their site..You window shop at flipkart for some shops, after 5 mins if you open some site you'll see amazon or snapdeal ads featuring shoes.. They want to prevent this, its very easy to get users data using cookies on pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where is this coming from tat it does not cost a lot to maintain an ecom site like amazon or FK, it freaking costs a bomb.

Be it app or website, when the user uses the domain, it'll access the same servers and data... So it would'nt reduce a great deal of cost going without website.. I may be completely wrong here, but thats what i believe based on limited knowledge i have.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Maintaining apps and site costs a lot, considering the hits they receive. Also pushing app updates is easier rather than updating the entire site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
