Online shopping

[Thor]

hey folks, really thanks here, i came to know abt some good online shopping portals because of this. How about ebay ? Is it any good with respect to electronics stuffs ?

Ebay is good. I use it to find stuff not easily available. Like just purchased a digital room clock, with large red LEDs. Was not available locally.

nice discussion. learnt a lot. special thanks asigh. however is there any guarantee they will send the original bill? without bill, the customer will be in trouble, do the need arise to RMA that product...!!! also is thunder02.dragon a dealer in Dealers Paradise?

Get your online activated. There will be an option TPT. Third party transfer. On the portal, you input the user account name, number, bank NEFT code, and fire the transfer. Within few hours, the money is credited to the respective account. Most banks support this method. Perfectly legit. Usually the NEFT code can be pulled by searching the bank name, and branch area. Most sellers provide this code, so you cannot go wrong.

Thanks!
I have to activate the Online Banking service first then I can try the online shopping......
BTW,we should know the good and bad side of online shopping like we use to discuss about other things.

You always get the original bill. Two copies. One is taped to the courier package, and the original is inside the box. If no bill, then it is an illegal sale right. No dealer will do that. Be careful with Lynx. I have received original bills from them, but no serial numbers. This is the only case.

The only bad thing is getting over the Indian stigma---of holding a product in your hand, turning it over 10000 times, asking 1000 irrelevant questions, trying to bargain, and finally purchasing. Okay with clothes, and jewellery such you might want to. Why hardware..? Why would you want to see it in the shop. Be sure of your choice, order it.

You cannot do this with online. I find it perfect. Saves me tons and tons of time.

Be sure of your choice, order it.

the products shown in the sites of online shopping are the only things they sell ? or i can give my choice? as in *www.primeabgb.com/ i found they do not have DELL SX2210. So, that means i cannot order that stuff from them?

But again SMCINTERNATIONAL has that DELL SX2210. Now do these sites regularly update their stocks and give current pictures of what they have?

 

[asingh]

If they show it..they will get it. You an also email and request for a special order. Most sites have live chat too..!

I also wrote that I am a TD FORUM member.

Now pls tell me should I proceed with 100% trust upon them ? AND should I send the DD through courier?

Sachin is their online representative. It should be fine. Can you not do EFT. Else, yes, courier the DD (make it crossed), and keep a photo copy of the courier. I guess when you mail the DD in courier, put a letter inside, stating what all you want, with your delivery address, and mobile/contact number. It is safe.

 

[coderunknown]

the price mentioned in SMC website are with or without tax?

 

[asingh]

With tax. To confirm just mail them from the contact address on their website.

EFT REQUIRES TPT I THINK. Actually i do not have the time to do all this.
BTW, how many dayas will they take to deliver that stuff?
