Flipkart increases the price this week. Last week the price of AMD 965 processor was 6330rs now the price is 6847rs

i have a few books in my wishlist, sometimes the price is 650, today it showed 1050. for another book last time i checked it was 87, today it was 200. i think they are doing this purposely, maybe some kind of strategy which has worked elsewhere to bring in more profit.

Till now I've ordered close to 65k worth of items from Flipkart. Its been a love hate relationship with them (though let me assure you I will always buy from them only )

1. Ordered a K43SA laptop which their page mentioned had a nvidia gfx card. Turned out to be an AMD. Returned.

2. Ordered K53SV with the nvidia gfx card, they did a hand to hand return and gave a new one. Used for 3 days before I found there was a problem with speakers & charger. Returned.

3. Issued a replacement laptop that I am satisfied & using now

Then, there was my order of a BB Playbook 32Gb which they took on 29th Dec, 2011 but for some strange reason said it was cancelled due to non-procurement. Followed them up quite strongly & they delivered finally on 10th Jan, 2012.

All in all, sure they took a little time but made sure they satisfied the customer.

Cheers!

Very very unhappy with the overpricing of the Lg Optimus Net dual sim on flipkart. Its 0.5k cheaper on lets buy and after a coupon price lessens by 1k.

Been there. Done that.

The exact same feeling when I wanted to buy Optimus One from flipkart.
(more exact then you can think)

Last month i had ordered an HP headphone, but was facing trouble with the sound clarity.

I got it replaced with brand new one after one week of purchase!

Flipkart sells some products very overpriced . on the other side lets buy give him a close shave in some products. Recently i buy the Logitech game pad f310 from lets buy the price is rs 999. Flipkart give this gamepad in 1100 . Thats amazing man i am very surprised when i see this but this is the truth they sell some products very overpriced . Also i am very impressed with the service of letsbuy ,they send the product in 41 hours this is quite amazing expereince for me now i can trust letsbuy site also.

Nothing like that. It totally depends on the seller if he gives free shipping or not. Many sellers do give free shipping, and thus are automatically awarded 5 star rating (delivery).

Odered logitec z110 speaker for Rs.435 delivery by 29th jan

Guys, THE HD 7970 is listed under flipkart....

[Terabyte]

The number of choices for graphic cards have increased tremendously.
Although prices are still on the higher side for most of the cards.

I have been shopping online for quite sometime now and got them shipped to different locations(like my native, relatives' address) and used both paying options prepaid(net Banking, debit card) and postpaid(COD)..
Now coming to the actual issue....
Flipkart..
their RMA and their courier service for remote and small cities is pathetic. (my friend had to collect his Philips GoGear from the courier office located at 19.2kms from his home(mode of payment was prepaid) and COD item was handed over to him after 13 days.
(from the same location I placed a order on HS18 and got it delivered in 5 days both COD and prepaid item)
Prices go up and down within hours (may be the product getting more attention by customers are give a hike in price within hours)

Of course the RMA service for bigger cities like Bangalore is to be praised most of the time the faulty device was collected within 72 hours of complaint and the fresh product delivered with 48 hours after collection of the faulty one.

Just ordered a LG Optimus Net Dual SIM from Flipkart.com. Reason? They made price same as Letsbuy. and its a COD order.
Till now they have called twice to confirm order, guess its because its a pricey order

Yes
For my father though. I think it is good.but got few things planned . I think rooting and everything is same as Optimus one P500. So would probably be a regular visitor to Optimus One Thread from now

[diagus]

lg optimus net dual or optimus net single sim
which may be good in terms of battery life

[thetechfreak]

@diagus Both will be approximately same. There is only same difference of a Single SIM and dual SIM.

Flipkart rolled out the Computer Hardware components category dealing with RAMs, Graphics Card, Internal Hard Drive and more!

Interesting to see.

I guess there wont be any much difference compared to market price!

[buddyram]

now time for them to add some cooling solution and PSU. if not coolers, PSU is a must.

[theserpent]

Flipkart is increasing the rates of many things day by day?Why is it so?

[bibinjohn]

everybody... flipkart has started selling PSU, Fans & Heatsinks....

i saw it just knw...

And they are selling cabinets also. in PSU they have Corsair, CM, Seasonic, Antec, Tagan..

Fans nd heat sinks only 7 no.s

Cabinets they have CM, Antec, Corsair

[d6bmg]

^ Cabinets are overpriced what they should be.
PSU prices are good, but no use for guys who are living in metros as the price in flipkart is little higher than the local price.
And for heatsinks, they need many more.

i have bought items from flipkart for worth 34.4k(much to my dad's annoyance ).. i am very happy with their service and as i live in gorakhpur the delivery time is not as good as for delhi and all but still to get a book or a phone or a game in 4 days sitting at home from the comfort of your couch... i like that!
if only flipkart would do something on the lines of giving their active customers some freebies.. like a cheap item off their wishlist, it would be great!

[mastervk]

Flipkart bought letsbuy..

Flipkart doesn't ship to my home.This makes me sad.
