Anyway , i am going to delete my data and deactivate my Flipkart account now. RIP Flipkart and its followers
I know this feeling mate. But I know you are not going to delete you Flipkart account, it's your anger and impulsive talking out of frustration and I have the same ****ing feeling. As today was some festival or something (and tomorrow too) I had zero work, so sat my ass off from 8 a.m to 3 p.m in front of desktop and kept refreshing the offer pages.
I got the Lumia 1020 added in cart at 13999. Tried to pay for it 5 times, but every time the payment gateway server failed to connect to the 3d secure page, however I don't know how this is Flipkart's fault, cause I clearly saw that it was citibank.co.in which was failing to load, but not sure.
Then I had the Nokia X added in my cart for Rs.700. I added it several times, not a single time it was added to cart. It was automatically deleted.
Then there was some Lava mobile for Rs.1 (yeah One Rupee), added the same, same disappearance like the Lava mobile.
That's all. All I could successfully order was a pair of Blackberry trousers at 55% off, and the bloody Mi 5000 mAh power bank or something. The latter I bought out of sheer frustration, I had no idea that sitting in front of a PC for 7+ hours could be so annoying and tiresome, so I had to buy something, anything.
The thing is, I don't blame Flipkart for the offers (they are doing a business, not charity), but what was premium class cheapness was their server errors and the fake pricing of several products, like the 90% off deals. There was no need to do that. It just showed a very silly and third grade mentality of attracting buyers, which is plain awful.
I will keep shopping with Flipkart, but I had a very good amount of respect for them, which is now COMPLETELY gone. In my line of work only money talks, but after a while the trust and respect play a huge role in doing business, and Flipkart will have to pay for what they have done today, it is as simple as that. From now on, if I will want to buy something I will check it at Amazon first, then Flipkart, just before this
overwhelming 6th October it was the other way around, now see who is loosing something
