Flipkart Review - Negative
I had posted a negative feedback on Flipkart site for a product that I had ordered but didn’t receive it even after waiting 5 business days. I spoke multiple times to many of their reps during these 5 days and everyone gave me a different reply asking to wait 24/48 hours. They even said that it was shipped but never updated shipping details on site. No one gave me an exact status. Finally after 5 days I sent an email asking for an exact status and I was told it had been cancelled. Amazing. I then posted a negative review on the product page stating how bad Flipkart customer care, delivery and service is.
Yesterday I received an email from FK stating that I need to edit my review because it doesn’t talk about the product and other buyers wouldn’t get a clear picture of product. And they removed my negative feedback from site.
So basically, if a customer talks good about flipkart delivery and service, they are okay with that feedback on their site on any product page even if it doesn’t talk about product at all but if a negative feedback is there, they remove it. They don’t want to show their ugly face.
Usually I don’t order such costly products online and such heavy ones (20kg Microwave) but I had read good about flipkart and had ordered a Hair Clipper earlier, my experience was good so I took the chance. But it was interesting to see how they deal with bulk products (they call this a bulk item for shipment which is ok), how they don’t update shipping details on order page, and how they deal with negative feedback.
Unfortunately, Panasonic microwave that I ordered wasn’t avaialble near by my house so I had no option but to place order again on flipkart. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bought this from them. This time I didn’t call them at all as I was least bothered. They didn’t update shipping details even after 5 days. On fifth day when it was out for delivery, then only they updated the details. On order page, it said the product will be shipped next day from order date. They sent an email after 2 days that shipment will be delayed by 2-3 business days. This email they had sent on previous order also that was cancelled. No one will give you exact status on customer care even if you call.
I’ve reposted my feedback once again on following URL today for you guys to see, they will delete it again:

I just wanted to share this with you guys so you know that every page may have had negative feedbacks too that they removed. I was planning to order at least two more products from flipkart in about 2-3 days but have dropped the idea now.
Thanks.
he he… They are not able to manage their own inventory. Now they have started marketplace. Bad times ahead for flipkart?!
Now DD may move it to product reviews section stating it will not help anyone in dost n dimes section. Be ready for anything and everything…

Bhai, I thought you’d left DD for good. What made you come back? Addiction? lol
Thanks for sharing. Not known until exposed.
I personally had very good experience with Flipkart all the times I purchased.
Same with my friends too. Hearing such experience for the first time (except for that ninja pricing error deal and their bad followup).
PS: Does your real name start with R?

Ritesh, that’s my name. Where did you find it?

Perhaps, he made a guess. Guys with names starting with “R” are known to be very rude. Remember the name “Rajneesh”?

Rajini is not rude, he is an idiot. Remember, that’s not his real name.
P.S.: Did you just call him “sir”? OMG!!!

Same here… its kinda addiction for me… though i am not a frequent poster, i do go through the deals and comments regularly. Every week i vouch to not open DD and do more work in office but i fail everytime. I do work in office but it would have been more if I stop visiting DD
PS: I am even planning to request our network folks to block this site and that way I can atleast stay away and concentrate more on work. At home, I anyway dont have access! But should see how it goes!

Good that I am not his fan but people usually call him “Rajini Sir” and I went by that.
No comments on your comment about him! But boss, a request. There are millions of fans for him. So plz dont hurt them! Its just a request.

Good luck.
As far as I remember, OP had left DD after trolling & said he had no time…….now when he’s finding himself in trouble…..he starts posting again!
If Im not wrong…..OP had bad reviews about DD too…..not much credibility to believe the reviews……
that’s rare to see negative for flipkart, but they should give clear picture rather fooling around to customer
I had bad experience with flipkart too.
I ordered one book and they sent a cheap replica with low paper quality. They had mentioned original publisher in the listing and took money for the higher quality book. I didn’t do anything at that time but it was a very unethical job by them

I agree with you, i too had a very bad shopping exp with flipkart, so i had avoided shopping with them.
three-four months ago, one of my relative in kolkata was in need for BP monitor. I convinced them that online shopping is safe and sound and they deliver within 3 days (working off course). I booked order of Omron BP monitor 7011 on Monday thinking that they will get it by Wednesday noon time. they shipped the product on Tuesday evening and was delivered on next week Tuesday noon. during this i had followed up many times for shipment not delivered and adding to this courier company was not able to tell where the packet is…?
I decided if shipping time is so much why not go to other site, where they do not charge anything for shipping and that too in lower prices with coupons and codes…
So i hate shopping with FLIPKART…
20+ orders, apart from late delivery no bad experience from flipkart. they have improved in shipping too since ekart started. now most of my orders are shipped within hour and I get in 48 hours. sometimes things may go wrong after all they get an order every second. and yes they remove negative or off topic review that’s why one should never rely on flipkart’s reviews. I see many deal posters uses it to advertise but in reality they are not genuine as they look.
i don’t have much problems with flipkart
expect their packing for books ( worst in industry ),
and one more problem is sub order delivery , if we place an order combining 3/4 books they will send you each book separately , each time i need to attend courier guy calls ,wastage of packing material .
I want to buy a Binocular from Amazon.com, US. The product is priced around 57$, excluding shipping, weighing about 2KG. Can someone here suggest how much custom and other duties (approximately) would it attract before it’s delivered to me in Delhi?
Any article on any site that explains the rules etc would be helpful too?

this can help http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t…
choose items shipped as global eligible which will give you final price you’ll pay irrespective of duties and taxes later on which will be amazon’s headache. if duty is higher to what you paid, amazon’s loss, if it’s lower to what you paid, your loss.
else you can go for pick-ups and shippers like ishopinternational.

Can you check if amazon ships it directly. If so, how much is the shipping cost they are charging.
2kg is very heavy and you will incur a very high shipping cost
As far as i know, you have these options :- Direct from amazon, Hopshopgo, aramaex shop and ship, ppobox, ishopinternational
Compare shipping prices of all

I got all my six orders delivered hassle free. They are offering a first time discount of 500 off at present. My best experience with them was on New year when they offered 50% off on shipping. I saved 1700 then

many dimers have used various sites like above given by jlnithwf but mostly used is ishop for pantech burst/htc one v. you can check threads for pantech or htc one. to my knowledge they are pretty good in service. no first hand exp though.

Then what about reviews from jlnithwf and discoversumit? Are they also lies n spam? Never expected such a cheap comment from you.

Did I mention anything about jlnithwf & discoversumit , then why did you come up with that !
Guess you are equating yourself with OP
Credibility is earned over time & by actions.
But there’s something +ve too, OP is re-gaining credibility fast….keep up OP

OP? Are you referring to me? Sorry, I don’t understand that word.
If someone is very blunt towards us, we stop listening to anything they say and call them lies. See how immature we are all!!! Human beings…
