The best part about Flipkart are
1. They made online selling popular in India
2. Products got delivered in door steps
3. I could buy books at 20%-50% discount and foreign edition textbooks easily. This is something we couldnt even dream about, in some parts of India
4. I could easily get products from lee, nike, puma,... at discounted price too. If you are not in a big city, then its difficult to get branded products and if you get then you need to worry about whether they are original or not
I bought close to 150 books from Flipkart, which would cost some 70$ more if I buy from local sellers.
I have my Toshiba Laptop, Moto G phone, Lee Shirt, Sennheiser Headphone, Reebok shoe all bought from online sellers :)

I will go ahead and say probably as good as Amazon or even better in big cities. They built warehouses in the big cities and stocked fast moving items in a lot of places 7) almost guaranteed savings on all things. I have rarely seen anything that is more expensive on FP compared to a store. 8) Good online experience. Little things like checking delivery using your pincode. Responsive site. Product suggestions.
- Grue3 12y agoHow is cash on delivery novel? Where credit cards are not ubiquitous this is the only way to sell stuff online. Pretty much every single online store in my country did this for years.
- x0x0 12y ago150 books so you saved $70/150, or less than 50 cents per book? Is that a good amount?
- jestinjoy1 12y agoThats a round figure. Most books here cost about 8$ - 9$. And some they sell on heavy discount. Compared to local sellers, its a good one
