Online Shopping : deals and discussion thread

Worked for Raghav and I too, I guess.

 

I think people just had weird expectations. They can't have enough units on sale to please everyone in any case.

 

 

Wrong. As I said before the products which had discounts in the range of 10_15% is fine. But 90% off deals were shady. Not to mention the whole issue of automatically deleting the order or removing stuff from the cart. The redmi 1s was removed from the cart when I went to make the payment. Overall it was a clusterf**k for FK. They lost more customers rather than gaining them

Just bcoz a company claims theyve sold for 1billion doesnt mean they have actually reached the target. Do u think any company who advertised for lakhs and with the prestige like flipkart would accept that they fell short of a billion worth sales??

What prestige? Randi aur chor ki koi izzat nahi hoti. Flipkart is both

Got confirmation mail and sms for the ps4 order finally, order still says it's been placed so yet to be packed. Estimated delivery date is Thursday.

 

The other 3 small next day delivery orders (unlike ps4 order) I placed have already been dispatched and are out for delivery right now. :)

Yea a lot of the deals were shady, but there were some genuinely good deals as well. I was looking at Lego Technics and those kits were discounted 40-50%, which they've never ever been. A 20K model was going for 10-12K, which is a pretty huge discount.

 

I think they messed up operationally as well. They really needed additional capacity so the site remained accessible and their payment gateway wasn't timing out so much.

The ideal way should have been to show the number of units they have left for taking. They could have done that in percentage if they were selling less than 100 of the units. Also, if u check their FB page, they were selling moto e for 1500 bucks. But every one who ordered it had it removed from their purchase and they got an email saying it was a pricing error. This shows the level they dropped down to , just to get some hits on their website. I would have straight away filed a case against them in consumer forum had this happened to me. They do not allow cancellation for consumers but they are cancelling whenever they want to save themselves from loss.

You're right. This is how Amazon does it.

 

That Moto E incident sounds bad. PR nightmare. I doubt they set out to scam people, though. It was probably just a system/capacity problem again. I'm guessing orders were coming in so fast that a few got through before the OOS page could go live.

 

Still their fault, though :/
