I have bought books from online stores but not the two you mentioned. I bought from prakashbooks.com and indiatimes.com. I pay online from hdfc bank and the books reach me within 4-5 days. They also give good discounts. The sites you mentioned should be reliable since they are also popular. Long back, I used to order online and then send DD due to security fears. I have also bought computer parts (from other sites) like Antec and Coolermaster products online due to local non-availability, but not costly items.

@I've done a few of transactions from indiaplaza.in, mostly books and once a mobile worth 4k.

Found they're reliable. They called me up once since they were out of stock of the mobile model i've asked for, and gave me an upgraded version for the same prize.

They are a bit slow in delivery. Usually takes a week to get the packet.

All the transactions were online (either debit or credit cards), and was reliable.

Indiaplaza.in is very much reliable.. Previously it was called fabmall.com and I've been buying stuf there for the past 3 yrs..! So go ahead.. but take all necessary precautions as you should always do when transacting online..!!

XOMG!! where are all the Opera users???

newaz permorming 'fraud check' in Opera I get -

This site has been verified by a trusted third party and is not listed on Opera's blacklist of suspected fraud sites.

Please report this site if you believe it should be blacklisted.

However there is no https and the site doesn't seem to have any security certificates.
Does that mean it will pass credit card information unencrypted!?

[davinci]

I think they hav a security certificate.Go to bottom of the page and u will see "we are verisign secure site".I dont know for sure but i think its a security certifacate.

and if are worried about ur c.card info being leaked, pay by cheque/dd

How does Creative Zen Stone 1 GB fare as a gift?

Now although I said I'll never buy from them, I must admit that I did buy the Harry Potter Book from them, and then Advani ji's biography, no issues.

I guess I can say, don't buy electronics from them. Books are ok, I haven't had any problems.

Edit: I also bought three novels form them at discount price, no problems, delivery in three days

[alok4best]

I bought a pen drive from their site...got the delivery within 48 hours..In Bangalore.
I guess for me it was fast bcoz they ship out of Bangalore only.
