I don't think letsbuy is a professional e-commerce website whose link has been given many times. I too clicked the link & have posted few queries. I also sent email & called their customer care account but no one replied. My suggestion is better avoid them.

Thanks.

So far, I have bought 3 phones, 1 hard-disk, 1 headphone, 1 steam-iron, and 2 pen drives from Letsbuy. All of them were delivered in maximum 3 days. So far, no complaints what-so-ever. And anyone who has traded with them will share the same experience. As of now, Letsbuy is one of the most trusted e-commerce sites in India. Dunno why you had such a bad experience contacting them, but from what I've heard, the site is quite good.

I agree with you. Flipkart is good. I've bought i mobile from them & received it in 3 days. As far as comparison is concerned, I'm not as experienced in using their services, so I can't comment on that.

@aniket.cain - I have no idea.
