Had a good experience with Snapdeal for a couple of deals.
1.Bought a Corsair AX750 power supply which was out of stock elsewhere. The price paid was Rs. 11663. Purchased on 8th July morning, dispatched the same day and delivered on 11th. Packaging was good and had the trademark Snapdeal’s packaging with their logo just like eBay’s packaging. The courier service was a mess! The shipment was delivered by a courier service that goes by the name of
Delhivery (the shipment was picked up from Delhi), and those guys had absolutely no clue where my apartment was. After a dozen calls between the two of us and the guy exhausting his balance, I finally managed to help him out. But otherwise, this was a good experience overall.
2.Bought a Lenovo B490 laptop. The price paid was Rs. 28024 (cheapest deal I could find for the same configuration). Purchased on 15th July morning, dispatched on 17th (as per their estimated dispatch date) and delivered on 18th. Usual packaging. But this time the consignment was shipped from Bombay through Blue Dart. I did not however get an invoice with the shipment so sent them a mail and the customer service was super prompt - responded instantly asking me for the serial number of the laptop. Sent them the serial number and a photograph (of the back of the laptop indicating the sticker) and they sent me the invoice by e-mail and a hard copy of it by courier.
Two deals in a month and they went smoothly. I am impressed with their service.
EDIT:
Got a Eureka Forbes Trendy Nano vacuum cleaner a week later and the deal went smoothly as usual. Paid Rs. 2650, the unit was dispatched in a day from Delhi and received the second day at Surat! Impressive service by the seller.
