well I am not sure about others but this one in particular is safe. on being safer side you can avail their cash on delivery option. we (TDF members) have seen it grow from a small bookseller site to a sufficiently large online seller of tech goods (mobile, laptop, cameras). i have made a purchase and I am happy with the product

It is perfectly safe and secure. You get original products.

i bought a mobile online and it is genuine... complete box packed and awesome packing for courier.

i also heard that after certain orders(5..i guess), we get discount coupons from them too
but i think we should have an free account on flipkart, right?

Not only it's genuine, it's highly recommended too.

Yeah, seal of approval.

Already bought books for over 70K with CoD option. Its safe and secure.

Yup, I have also bought few books and a mobile from Flipkart, they are reliable, packaging is good, customer care is responsive, and really fast shipping. And I mainly love their COD service on almost all the products

Go on...no fear with flipkart.

and how to make sure that product is not refurbished...? this was my frnds doubt when i told him abt a deal i am gng to make..he said its a steal at that price..but do u know whether its refurbished or new..? basically i want buy a laptop form the iste so shuld i consider that it will be new adn genuine product only..and also do they provide bills or other documents so that we could show them up at authorised service centers and aslo do they authorised service centers accept these products under warranty?

^^
They JUST do not sell refurbished or do re-sales.

It will be a brand new laptop, authorized to be sold in India, with all papers. Any service center / RMA node will honor services as per the selling contract.

They are reliable enough. COD Option is very good for me, as I'm not yet eligible for a bank account.

Bought some Games from them. The packing of these games were although, not good enough. They provided Games in Driver's CD Packs and not in Cases; However, the discounts they give on Games makes it worth a deal.

And the Customer Service is also quick and helpful...

I came across a thread in TE forum recently where a guy had real problem dealing with flipkart about a warranty issue with a dell smartphone or something.

I'd say tell the local dealers about the deal on flipkart and if they can offer a comparable price. Most of the time it works and you will be able to get the same from local dealers.

I did it for a DSLR and few days back for IEM. Mailed the local dealers with the link to product page on flipkart and asked to make a deal which I couldn't refuse.
