Flipkart increases the minimum order amount for free shipping to Rs. 500

Flipkart increased the minimum order amount for free shipping to Rs. 500

Not only that, Flipkart has increased the Delivery Fees to Rs. 50

So if you want to buy a Rs. 100 book whose MRP is Rs. 135, you'll have to pay Rs. 150 for it.

But I see that the discounts have increased slightly.

200-300-and now 500.
After few days, they will stop selling low-cost products too.

I checked for an hp h1000 ear phones at flipkart, it was Rs.330/- and I was happy to place the order, but the addition Rs. 50/- took the overall cost to Rs. 380/-. Earlier it would have been only Rs.330/- and free shipping. Looked for it else where on the web, got it from gabbardeals.com for Rs.299/- + 50/- shipping (total Rs. 349/-). However, the packaging was not as good as flipkart and was done with DTDC (Rs. 50/- for something not even 100g is too much).

Iam not much effected because I purchase very less from flipkart ...Mostly from local markbet when it comes to computer or other electronic items and regarding books , I prefer HS18 , infibeam or my sunday local book market most of the books are available at lower prices than the flipkart

Those who frequently buy books from FK are affected.

Flipkarts success has affected their minds, now if they see a dip in sales i wont be suprised

rising prices affects everyone, not just just you

 

[anirbandd]

if FK maintains the QoS, then i think people will be happy to pay 50...

 

[Ronnie11]

yeah they increased the minimum order last month..was quite bugged...

Not happy at all. I wanted to buy a pair of cheap sandals because rainy days are coming. I seen a Liberty at flipkart that I think can withstand the torture of rain and muds (thanks to govt.). It is Rs 499. Now I have to pay 50 rupees extra. So better I buy from shop.
Sometimes you need to buy cheap products, I need a deodorant, an aftershave. I was looking at flipkart. Now I won't. AFterall what is the use of buy 2 aftershave when one lasts years.

I should say Flopkart at its best

 

[Ronnie11]

did they increase because it was not financially feasible to ship a product and deliver home via ekart for a product below 500??Why this sudden increase...bought so many books under that...will have to review now...

You don't say.

Not feasible. I dont think so. Yebhi does ship for free al well as many websites. I recently bought 4 books from eBay seller "omplbooks". Prive is unbelivingly low and free shipping too. That too even for a book worth Rs 67.

 

[reddick]

I too ordered a book on ebay which is Rs. 60 more expensive at FlipKart. The difference was that ebay shipped it for free and FlipKart was charging Rs. 60 as home delivery

 

[gameranand]

Too bad, now I am going to skip FK for books.

 

[Tenida]

^^Homeshop18 and Infibeam are better option
