You might have heard it before but I came to know this today hence posting it.
A connection of mine designed a genuine-looking WordPress site that sells clothes at an unbelievable price. The majority of product is priced between 500-900. which includes a combo of 3 t-shirts, full traditions dresses, western suits.
The MVP is that they provide free COD at any cart amount. so they just tangled the primary trust point of the majority of Indians.
After getting the order, they place the order at meesho. meesho has some functionality that a person can place an order from a seller to the customer with their branding and price. so they choose any random cheap stuff for the customer. so they’re out with their commission and it’s the third-party seller who’ll face the customer. I didn’t understand meesho part clearly, you can take external help to understand their business process.
They do marketing on Facebook/Instagram on daily basis. I wouldn’t be bothered to write this thread but he showed me his Shopify analytics and it just reached Rs. 2lac+ in just 2 months.
It’s pre-diwali time, most people will be on their shopping for clothes. hence posted just for awareness. I don’t want to dig into any debate or flaws, If possible, aware your relatives that COD is no longer the 100% safe option. use your instinct and don’t feel petty to open the package in front of your delivery person.
Thank you.

COD is no longer the 100% safe option 
Website link ?
Unable to recall the name. But if want to visit similar sites, turn off ad block, visit Myntra, now go to Facebook. You’ll find their ads except personalized ads is disabled from google.
Only One Solution : Video Recording from receiving the parcel from the delivery boy to the point of opening the box.
If it isn’t a reputed brand/website (/seller).. the end-product quality is going to be cheap (compared to the promotional images/description)
^^ Especially when it is listed cheaper from a small seller
IMO.. More than Free COD, shopping noobs might get lured to free returns w/ clothing (which again could be false promise or w/ hidden t&c)
cod is never a safe option.
always use cc for purchases.
1)open box delivery is not the option available with delivery company like Bluedart, Delhivery,ECOM .
2)these seller/small companies depend on third party courier services to deliver the item,they r not like Amazon or Flipkart which handles everything from the scratch.
And these delivery service r assigned to deliver the parcel safely to the concerned person.thats it.
First they will ask the money then only they will hand u the parcel
That’s true. In this case, not ordering from non-mainstrean sites will be wise choice. Open-box delivery is advisable for amazon/Flipkart too. If i am at home, I open the box while delivery person does his entries on mobile. That way I don’t have to waste his time, and in unwanted case I can record his verbal confirmation that I opened the package infront of him
@TempAcc Since you mentioned this is one of your connection who is doing this, my 2 cents to you would be, to stay away from these kind of people and have nothing to do with them. They will eventually drag you and your family along with them into the wrong side of the law.
Good that this thread is posted.My father has been nagging from so many days to place orders from messho after watching FB & TV ads
Stick to Cloudtail/Appario
Kehna kya chahte ho bhai…
