The good deals on Amazon were only during that HDFC card period when BBD was on at flipkart. After that closed there were no product discounts as such. Just normal price with bank offers. I will not call that a sale.

Sale would be when you have both product discount as well as card offers something like BBD or Amazon Diwali sale last year.

There are many product discounts still continuing across all categories. 

For example, a 5tb hdd goes for 10k during normal times. Down to 8.7-8.8k in the sale, and additional 10% discount on card. Easily 20% savings over a non sale day. 

Same for appliances, phones, grocery deals etc. 

It's just that there are no super deep discounts like the 1st 2 days, but there are decent discounts nevertheless. Better than retail (except maybe big appliances).

Looks like prices will remain same. Amazon announced more than a month ago that this time they will have a month long sale/event, and that's what it looks like. Prices kept same, cards/offers changed. 

Should be good enough to buy now. 

 

Okay then, I'll go for it now. 

For whatever reason, I see an "Apply 500 Rs. " coupon on the product page. 

No idea why I have it, but I'll gladly take the money off.

Is that so?

Lol I have a lot of "data", maybe I should pick another drive. Don't wanna go with 5TB though, rather go with smaller drives.

is funcorp.in a legit site? ordered a toy as a diwali gift on cod. they are on amazon as well but the price on their site is much lower and i really want to gift that toy to my nephew even if i have to pay 500 rs extra. 

 

cant do a dummy order on amazon as I find it unethical to make a business lose money on shipping and returns just due to my insecurity.

Thank you. 

 

So. Funcorp.in is legit? They will deliver? Any experience?

I want to order a figurine from there too.

But i read this-:

I bought it, but it says Order Pending, can take time for order confirmation. Also been a bit of time since then.

Money not deducted from card yet either.

 

Whats wrong with it?

At times transaction doesn't go through. You can still make the payment within next 24 hours. They will not cancel your order unless you fix the payment.

Well I don't see an option to fix it. Just says order pending. Any idea how to make the payment go through? 

I had a 500 Rs off coupon on it so I want it to go through. 

 

The only options next to it: Track Package, Cancel Order, Archive Order. If I cancel I'll have to do a fresh order and won't have the coupon again.

Have some patience . You'll be notified of confirmation or of failure (and be given an option to retry)

Got the retry option, used a different sbi cc this time just to be safe.

 

Payment went through, thank you!

I've kept an eye on the price, hasn't changed in two weeks or more. Couldn't buy earlier since I don't have ICICI.

 

Or should I wait for this Amz Diwali sale? 

Doesn't seem like Amazon is doing Diwali sale this year, not sure why they cancelled their biggest sale of the year.

Was looking to get a phone, probably the iphone 11 or the s20+ but it seems like they've all increased in prices a lot :(

Yes surprisingly Amazon cancelled Diwali sale this time, don't know why. Anyway flipkart's BDS started again for Plus users, from midnight it will be for all
