The Big Billion Day , This is what Flipkart An Online E-commerce Website named it’s Biggest Ever Sale and probably India’s Biggest Online Sale.
Mix Emotions Flown Through Out The Day With The Big Billion Sale From Flipkart
It all started at morning 8 ‘o’ clock , when people saw sale on their favorite products from as low as Re 1 on Flipkart. I won’t lie, i was among most of those unlucky people who failed to buy at that early hour. No doubt , many of us have felt the instance of the Fastest Finger First from the famous show KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI through out the day.
Earlier Flipkart claimed to sell its product worth 1 billion on this Big Day and later claim to be able to sold 3 lac orders today. This was the first time in India , that a website managed to bag 3 lac orders in just one day , Thanks to its 2 week long heavy marketing and the company’s reputation online.
According to the sources, most of the sale ended at around 2 pm , with just little bit left for the rest of day.Also flipkart put all it’s marketplace user’s on Pending, claiming that they have already reached order limit of 3 lac and cannot allow more sales in order to keep its delivery standard unaffected .
Well at one side when people were happy purchasing products at cheaper rates , there was a side of customers who went angry as they couldn’t able to make much out of the sale. And why not? The giant website crashes several time today making it even harder to purchase products.Few people also claimed Flipkart is not offering any cheap price but in fact it’s taking much more than the original product cost.
Consumers said :
they searched “Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro” on Flipkart and found
Before Price: 34,999
After Price: 32,999
But, after researching on internet it shows that “Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro” is launched at 32,999; so why the HELL FLIPKART IS LISTING 34,999.
Not only users , but competitor websites like snapdeal.com warned user’s :
“Please do not buy things blindly from any website without comparing it with other websites and local market. Help yourself getting away from the pricing trap”
Many User Also Showed Their Anger For Flipkart With Their Tweets:
It’s 8 mins after @Flipkart sale opened and how can most things be out of stock already? #ecommerce
