Coincidentally, I made the biggest value purchase I have ever made online (from an ecommerce store) yesterday on Amazon.in
I was in the market for a 43" TV. Needed a Samsung. I checked two reputed local electronics stores (from where I have made purchases earlier; including the store where I bought my current Samsung 32" TV I was replacing after 13+ years).
Both stores quoted a price over the phone. The store I bought my 32" TV came in INR 700 (around $9 USD) lower. This was a 43" Full HD TV.
I then checked amazon.in website. They offered a Samsung 43" UHD TV (i.e., better resolution) at a price that was INR 100 lower than the best price I got from the physical stores. (It was a Limited Time deal, but one that met my requirement).
The product was Fulfilled by Amazon and Prime delivery eligible. I got the TV delivered this morning and Samsung is sending their tech for installation tomorrow. (Amazon handles this seamlessly -- they do for a lot of partner brands).
I would say they met my expectation (on delivery). I'll update after installation by Samsung.
My summary of Amazon (India) experience:
- They are great if you know exactly what you want
- The Prime eligible products Fulfilled by Amazon are good
- I have even returned some products before and so far, that experience has been exemplary. I have no complaints.
I generally avoid other marketplace sellers on Amazon.
