I had recently tried to place an order for headphones on askmebazar.com. I really think there is some problem with the website and its paying portal.
First of all, the headphones that I selected on this website was one-third the rate of its cost on other shopping websites, such as Flipkart and Amazon.in. This is really weird and I think they are not selling genuine products, because no vendor will sell products so cheap and run at a loss. Still, I went ahead with trying the payment option.
No, on the last step, before paying, I cancelled the transaction. But, just within few seconds, I received a confirmation message on my mobile phone and e-mail address both, that my order from askmebazar.com for the selected headphones had been placed successfully.
So, I was wondering what's wrong and called up on their customer care number as well as wrote an e-mail to them. The phone was just not getting connected and no one really bothered to respond to my e-mail.
I kept receiving messages notifying my the status of the order which was not placed in teh first place. Finally, I received a message saying that my order would be delivered on a particular day between working hours. I was eagerly waiting to see if they really provide me the headphones for free.
But got a message that very evening, stating that the product I ordered was out of stock and they will notify me once it is available. This was the most weird experience with any shopping website that I ever had.However, this has raised serious questions about the security of their online payment system. I am not very sure of ever buying anything from askmebazar.com.
