I have had mixed experiences with online shopping. Some good some bad. I recently bought a cd from indiatimes.com.When the cd arrived I found that what I had paid for it was quite a bit above the mrp printed on it.
When I mailed them the gave me a very vauge reply. On the other hand I was able to buy from sify a item I really wanted but had no chance finding in the town I live. I have shopped on several sites and find some common elements which I am going to share.
None of them take real responsibility for what they sell ,unless they are company sites like sony .co.in, the rest are more like hawkers.So here is what I suggest:
Buy only branded non serviceable items unless you are buying from company sites.
Buy only what you cannot get in your town or items that are avaliable at a discount.
3.Remember you are more likely to get a better choice at your local store unless you live in a really small town.
4.Avoid using your credit/debit card. HDFC bank has a super product called netsafe foe online use .Try it.
- Beware of bazee.Again buy only brands you trust.REmember bazee does not guarantee the seller.
