E-com has to conform to regulations. Mobiles usually get the best deals due to yearly revisions.

 

For e.g Roughly Rs 30,000 discount for last year model in FK.  

But BBD is supposed be the best deal time of the year, which means lowest rates for a device. 

 

PS5 lowest rate is 36-37k with discount, it is at 46.7k with discount. 

 

Almost all the laptops were at lower price around August time, currently hardly any reduction in pricing. I was specifically looking for a laptop which had discount on previous dates but not a single rupee drop this sale.

BC Jiomart has such a stupid incompetent tracking system. Bought an iPad Air m2 from there as deal was too good to pass. Order was shipped within a day but they will never share a tracking ID and even if you ask their customer care, they will just keep on repeating that I should just check the status in the app which has just 4 checkpoints (Ordered, Processing, Shipped and Delivered). You will never get to know where it is shipped from and where it has reached. Yesterday was the delivery day but they changed it in evening to 9th Oct citing unforeseen circumstances. Sala amazon se sara accessories 4 din se aa ke rakha hai. Apple pencil pro, case and tempered glass all are waiting eagerly. :rofl:

fair enough, but what happened?

Ordered PS5 Slim on Oct 4 @42.5k. Delivery date showed 12 Oct max delivery, which was already late but I thought let's just wait. Was very excited. 

 

In their tracking page, it said package arrived in my city on 10th Oct, ever since I talked to their CC for either early deliver or at least make sure it is delivered in 12th. After multiple calls and visiting nearest delivery hub, I found package did not reach my nearest hub. I personally went check this multiple but got nothing till 12th night. 

 

Their Customer care had the same info as FK's tracking page, they just say it is in transit near your hub from last 2 days, I knew that is not possible since I know both of their warehouse and they are just 15 mins away. Their customer care guys are clueless and one of the worst in any company. 

 

Then Suddenly, at night of 12th Oct, FK changed delivery to 17th!!!!!! I was like WTF!!! Straight up a week late! And tracking page suddenly started showing the package did not even reach my city. That's a bloody scam right there! There is no way this was a system error, FK was intentionally misleading to buy some time. Why give a false delivery date in the first place? 

 

Anyway, Went to local shop and bought PS5 for 47k. It felt so good! Lesson learned! 

 

Moral is, Do not waste your time in order to save few bucks. I don't regret shelling extra 4-5k but needed it on time. Why you may ask!? 

 

My wife ain't home, every single day is precious and I already lost too much time. Would have bought it early if not for FK scam!
