Let me begin my review this way:
Snapdeal is NOT just another e-commerce site.
To my knowledge they are the only site offerring both Product deals & Daily deals.
Quality of deals:
Snapdeal has got really nice deals which you need watch out for from time to time. I'm a tech savvy guy so I mostly purchases their product deals and it is at a good deal price. My hint to you is to watch out for nice deals daily and I'm sure you will get some wonderful deals.
Reward:
You get 50 SDCash(It is like cash deposited in your Snapdeal account which can be used for further purchases) for purchasing your First deal.
Snapdeal Facebook Page:
Don't forget to like their regional facebook page(For ex: I liked their Bangalore Snapdeal page) where they posts some hot deals and frequently they conduct lot of contests/quizzes so you can win some cool prizes.
Usability:
They have got a nice AJAX interface and the AJAX pagination is fetching pages through Mouse scroll instead of clicking multiple next and back's aren't needed.
Site works fine even with slow internet connection. Looks like the site & images are hosted on Amazon cloud server.
Mobile:
Snapdeal has got a moble site too accessed through snapdeal.com/m and this looks to be first version and lot many features to be added. One thing I noticed is you cannot add multiple items to the cart in the Mobile site but otherwise the pages load very fast.
Pinning to Taskbar:
If you are using IE9, the you can pin Snapdeal to your taskbar and view latest deals without going to the website everytime
SMS:
You can subscribe to daily alerts in two ways Emails & SMS. If you feel that you are disturbed by the daily deal alerts SMS, they you can just unsubscribe in two clicks using "SMS Unsubscription" option in their home page
Payments:
Deals can be bought using Online Payment(Visa, Master, AMEX) & COD(Cash on delivery). So for people who are not interested in using their card for online shopping thinking of security risks, can leverage COD payments.
I think I covered most of the aspects much needed, I would urge you to give it a try now!
