I was a constant shopper at Flipkart. I bought more than 30 products from them in the last 2 years. At the beginning Flipkart was the cheapest and the best shopping website in India. They had a good customer support and delivered all the purchases on time. Now they have gained so popularity that they increased the prices from Books to Electronics. Also their customer support is not useful as the used to be. The co-ordination between the departments(Logistics, Sales etc) have decreased considerably that each department tells different stories of the same item. Sales dept will tell they will ship the item and customer care guys will tell the the order was cancelled and makes up reasons for the cancellation. They did not even ship my order OD20914190915 after 14 days .Their service is becoming poor each day.
Last week a friend of mine told me to try Homeshop18.com. I gave it a try and bought a book-
How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company .* To my surprise I saw that there was no extra shipping cost for any products even if costs less than Rs 50. on Homeshop18. I compared the price with Flipkart, Flipkart was selling for Rs 91+ Rs 30 for shipping, Total for Rs 121.
While homeshop18 was selling for Rs 84 with free shipping . See the difference, thus I saved Rs 37 and the product was delivered to my house in just 3 days.
Readers can also compare the price of the new hot selling books such as
Encyclopedia: Rahul Dravid Timeless Steel or I too had a love story or Quantitative Aptitude or The Secret Of The Nagas at Homeshop18 with Flipkart and you guys will me surprised.
It’s the same for all other products especially Books. So check it for yourself and you will see that homeshop18 is a lot cheaper and better than Flipkart. So try to avoid flipkart as far as possible especially for books.
So I stopped shopping on Flipkart and switched to homeshop18
