its not a fake deal, i was able to get to get to check out page but barely missed out on a samsung 500gb external ssd at 1100. Some people even managed to get a 2tb samsung external ssd at 900 and crucial 4tb external ssd at 5500. Criticize your own lack of speed.
I have also managed to grab some times and manage to place the order but they have cancelled it and refunded.
It is no guarantee that they will honour it.
Even the people who grab 2tb ssd…ask them did they got it? I am pretty sure they would have had their orders cancelled atleast most of them.
Quite a few times my order was not being shipped for long time when I called customer care( which is nightmare to connect) they said sir they stock was broken . We cannot send you damage stock right?
They have been trained well.
If that excuse for just one order I would have understood . But this is repeated excuse whenever I manage to place these kind of offers.
I just explained to you . This website also does not honour sale even if you complete the purchase most of the time, so this skill excuse makes no sense, I have plenty of email exchanges with them on various such deals.
You may be one of the few lucky 5% whose deal was completed. So good for you.
Seems like an awesome deal. Glad you were able to get it.
@solo_wing mentioned that he was able to place multiple orders, but they were cancelled or refunded. A lot of croma experiences people have with crazy deals are either OOS items or the aforementioned case, which is why the usual comments are there.
Dude…a piece of advice. Dont take everything so seriously in life.
Chill and happy for you that you manage to grab some great deals.
TBH I was not even sure if I need this because I already have few pendrives . It mostly would have just been lying around with little use on rainy days.
here below is what they wrote to me after even managing to place the order.

as a person who got a few croma clearance deals, almost none of them are pincode specific. if its showing out of stock for your city its also the case for every other city in India.
I think that’s too broad an assumption. How can they stock every sku at every warehouse?
I’m sure they must have a few at some point codes and none at some more. I am at the other end of the spectrum. I’ve tried a few croma killer deals close to the moment they’ve apeared (can’t be 100% sure of the exact time they dropped) and almost always unavailable at my pincodes.
i’ve checked too good to be true deals in my northeast city zipcode and then in every tier 1 city zipcode and availability has been consistent in my case. either available pan idea or not available pan idea.
If by lack of speed you mean not being member of exclusive paid deal channels on TG or being friends with members of such paid deal channels then you are right as I seriously doubt @solo_wing is in such groups/friends with members of such groups. That 4TB ssd deal you mentioned & many other similar deals like that were all posted in such exclusive paid channels & leaked from there so many ppl did place the order successfully & some of them even confirmed product being shipped but let’s see how many get them delivered eventually.
Enjoy while it lasts as asus seem to have quality control issues with many of their products in recent times & I am guessing this deal was one of the stock clearance sale. The switches on this keyboard are also non user replaceable not to mention they are the red/blue ones found nowadays in even 2k priced keyboard. I would have rather add 1k more & get Ajazz AK820 Max Plus or Aula F75 for 4.5k.
