Flipkart deals

I think members here are too hard on flipkart. Well I only buy fashion products from Flipkart and my experience is good so far. I don't buy smartphones so no idea about it. Shopping experience on Amazon is pathetic but product variety is extremely good so I buy from Amazon. For me,

Amazon pros - More product variety, chat support is good, dispute resolution is good.
Cons- Website looks like an old 1998 piece of junk with so many useless things; it is worse than even facebook, product description sometimes non existent, packaging especially for expensive items is downright shameful (shame on you Amazon), self shipping needed for returns of non Amazon fulfilled orders, refunds and returns are slow, fashion category is not that good.

Flipkart pros - Site interface better than Amazon, dispute resolution is very good, lightning fast pick ups and refunds, fashion category is awesome, pick ups arranged even for non flipkart assured items, shipping is faster than Amazon.
Cons - Less product variety, have to attend calls from cc to get info on refunds of most non flipkart assured items (still better than selfship).
I bought one monitor from flipkart but that was in 2014 so I cannot comment on packaging of expensive items.

So far I haven't face any major issues with both these sites. Amazon is slow and never refunds automatically if the product is not Amazon fulfilled. I always have to call or message them to get my refund. Flipkart on the other hand calls me and refund the money even if the pick up is not done yet (for non flipkart assured items). No issues in both Amazon and Flipkart for fulfilled/assured items.
 
I have been buying from Amazon since 2013 and Flipkart before that. Yes, Flipkart i only used to order mobile phones and nothing else but there never was any problem with my orders. Amazon is also fine but lately often the pantry items are coming with torn boxes, which is very annoying. They might say it's really heavy but why would I care. Last month even a blower I purchased came in a totally torn box and it was only a 2 kg item. So I'm not sure whether i would call them professional.

Another thing is, what's wrong with their invoice ink? Nothing can be read on them! I used to keep the invoices but now i just throw them out.
 
Well, I have been buying from amazon since long and may be once there was an issue and i am talking once in last 5 years.
They are utterly professional.

may be you are buying High Value products OR NEVER need to claim warranty (I'm not talking about 10 days return policy)

just 2 month before Bought ptron bluetooth TWS buds (Rs.899/-) from amazon, within 28 days, one bud failed and hold charge for 60 seconds or less... now from last 25 days playing merry-go-round with amazon & ptron.. both are very professional to reply (we received your complaint and working on) but no one providing any real solution (25/28 days over and I left no choice but to use only one ear bud).

Now amazon CC want me to take in writing from ptron that since last 25 days they didn't providing me any service...GOD save me from BOTH.... ptron not replying to email or phone call .. how I will convince them to send me such in writing & will they give in writing?

..once I will got in wiring from ptron then only amazon will take action on Ptron ... this is good... one partner not providing service and other want same in writing ... BOTH are very professional

Yep, noticed this too. amazon.in is now pulling the same crap that ebay.in used to do regarding warranty. And not just no name manufacturers, even for the biggies products. Sure fire way to go down the toilet .... fast.
 
The Lg G8X deal never came in stock..

I read somewhere that it might be 16th so will get to know at night what happened. It might not be included in the Flipkart First preference.

At exact 12 noon today, I clicked on this phone's link and found an "Out of stock" message on my screen. I tried refreshing the page for the next 15 mins & it never came in stock.

Flipkart fooled us all..!

Yes, i thought the same but then whats the point in putting an in stock item at regular mrp out of stock untill they are able to put it up at sale at reduced price...
 
Just a update... whatever you buy from any eCommerce site

From Packed parcel till you start (on) product, shoot video.

if no one at home, keep parcel untouched and when someone came, ask him/her to start video recording and then only unpack parcel.

Open parcel with utmost care that you do not damage the label/address etc. stick on upper part of box, preserve all packing material.

if all Ok then only stop recording video.

Also DO MATCH ISBN/IMEI etc. CODE OF Product with Invoice

This video will help you, if you ASK REFUND/REPLACEMENT.

HTH
