Hi,
I joined shaadi since it had one of the most extensive database. I could contact people and send them emails through shaadi. It also keeps your email private until you want to reveal it yourself.
Unlike other websites, shaadi has profiles in detail. . There is also a profile search section which could be customised and generate profiles meeting your criteria. The search engine is accurate. the messenger also allows you to know when a person is accessing your profile. I also like the articles written on shaadi which they call as success stories. There are other informative articles for newly weds and those planning a marriage.
This website has international profiles too. Their shaadi points also assist people who do not use internet. I also like the activity factor which tells you when your chosen person accessed shaadi and what is their response percentage out of total responses they received . There is absolute privacy if you are not ready to disclose your identity. It also gives an option to improve your activity factor by giving an option to decline a response. this shows how decisive the other person is. you can tell by the icons which are displayed alongside the profiles you are interested in if the other person has accepted you or not. use of these icons makes it pleasing to look at the seearch page.
There are many positives about this site . Of course everything has some negative p oints like its a bit expensive to maintain. When you get a response , it takes one day for shaadi to notify on your email. The customer service also takes one day and there is no toll free number provided. sometimes it is difficult to explain to the customer service what you want. Waiting for a day is too long.They still do not provide a chat support like bharat matrimony does whose data base is much larger than shaadi. shaadi maintains its niche status. Most of the profiles belong to highly educated people. NRIs like to use their service.If you plan to marry a middle class indian, this may not be the best place to spend your money on. Most people here are earning more than 3 lakh rupees a year.
I hope my review helps you to search your life partner.
