Doubts on Credibiility. Review on Flipkart

Ordered two books from Flipkart a while back. Got my first book within the time specified on the website.

I was informed in the email that the other book would be delayed. It took another 2 weeks for that book to arrive at my doorstep. This is all fine. I am ready to accept this delay caused as it happens with various stores in India.

I noticed that they offer quite low prices on most books, after discount . One serious doubt on their credibility of this low price. I think I have caught onto something here. If you take a look at many of the Imported Edition books i.e Books converted into INR from USD or British Pound , you will notice that the MRP quoted on FLIPKART is seriously lower than MRP quoted on EVERY OTHER online bookstore in India.

Now I was a part of the Publishing industry for a few years and I know for a fact that every bookstore is given an Exchange rate for the month by the Book Industry in India. This is the rate to be used to sell USD , GBP books in INR in India. All the online bookstores I have gone through for last rwo months are quoting the MRP at this rate. FLIPKART is grossly undervaluing MRP which is unethical in my books.

They are reducing the MRP on the book , reducing the price further with Additional Discounts and selling them at much cheaper rates than other stores. This is my opinion , I may be wrong on this. But I wanted to share what I have noticed. Go through a few of their imported edition books and do the comparison for yourself.
