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.

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

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 :)

Judgement Time!!
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...

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.

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 :neutral:
 
i have already stopped ordering from fk.. if sales is too good for them they should have decreased the charges but its gone the other way... bye bye fk..
