One thing I hate about these special sale day

I love special sales days like The Big Billon Days or the Great Indian Festival sale.

But I hate these types of sales because they limit how much users can purchase from any bank card or on any one day.

Yes.

We cannot shop as much as we need with discounts on these sale days.

That’s disappointing for many users who are looking to buy a lot of things.

That’s something that applies to us as well.

We buy lots of items. But to buy all those things, we must ask many friends for debit/credit cards to shop.

This time, my brother collected almost 5 different colleague’s debit/credit cards in order to get the maximum discount.

On top of both our debit and credit cards as well.

Whatever the products we ordered yesterday, its delivery also started. From morning onwards, my job is only to collect those delivery items.

This will continue for me for the next few days.

If you still have not started ordering anything yet… go ahead and open the Flipkart and Amazon apps to grab some deals.

If you are planning or constructing your house, here is a list of house construction-related items that I recommend you shop online instead of offline shops to save more money.

Product was missing

A guy I follow on Twitter today tweeted that the product was missing from the box he ordered from Amazon.

The product cost 45K. But still, the guy seemed very cool and raised a support ticket with Amazon regarding this issue.

I believe within one week, they usually finish their investigation and inform the result to the buyer of the status of the complaint.

Once, I also had a similar experience.

In my case, the product is missing instead of items inside the box.

Both are different cases.

Mine is easy to solve for them.

I believe I ordered a CCTV system from Amazon during a similar sale event. In that order, one camera was missing.

When I noticed the missing item, I didn’t get much tension like most users do…

I know about Amazon.

I simply made a complaint with the Amazon support team on their website. They promised within 7 days, they would share an update about the complaint.

After the investigation, they updated me, and the case was solved in my favour.

They asked if I needed the product or if I should get a refund for that product.

As I ordered on the product on sale day, I got a discount, so I requested the product.

They sent me the missing product.

I believe the same thing will happen to the above guy.

I order almost all products online. This is the first product which came missing in my case.

In extremely rare cases, mistakes happen. If you are not bothered by such things, then online shopping is something I recommend everyone to try.

You save a lot online instead of offline shopping.

Visit this Great Indian Festival sale page or my recommended products category that you should buy online for your house during or after house construction to save money.

From yesterday onwards, I’ve been tired of attending delivery calls back to back.

Now, the home theatre installation service guy just calling me.

I’m going to watch the product demo now. Which was also bought online during this sale.

Bye for now

She saved ₹15,000 directly

Yesterday, I shared how one of our relatives planned to buy a 50K laptop in an offline shop.

This email is a continued version of that story…

Both father and daughter went to offline shops to buy laptops because they don’t trust online shops. 

When they enquired about the laptop price they planned to buy, the shop owner told them ₹15,000 more than what they could get on an online shopping site now.

They tried to ask for an online price, but the shop owner was not ready to give it.

Yesterday night, their daughter called my brother to inform the story and wanted to buy online now.

The problem is that they don’t have much courage to buy 50K products online directly, and asked my brother to buy and keep them in our house. 

Once the product is delivered, she will come and pick up the laptop.

Finally… they did a good job shopping online instead of offline shop.

If you had seen my email yesterday, you might have noticed that I predicted 5K to 20K extra that they would have to pay if they bought in offline shops.

Now she revealed that 15K extra is what local shops asked her for.

That’s why I love online shopping. 

We can save even more during special sales like this with bank card discounts.

Got anything to buy now?

Visit Flipkart and Amazon to check the products you plan to buy. 

The sale has already started on both sites if you are a Plus and Prime member. If not, then you need to wait till tomorrow. 

Relatives don’t feel comfortable shopping online

Today, my mom spoke with one of our relatives on the phone call. While they were speaking, I was also drinking coffee in the hall.

Our relative was telling her daughter was planning to buy a laptop.

Mom asked how much it cost… relative replied, “Around ₹50,000”. Both their father and daughter planning to go to the city to bring a laptop.

My mom asked why in the city you can only buy online. Like she asked.

Relatives replied that, they are not comfortable shopping online.

They continued their conservation. After my coffee was over, I came back to write this email.

I understand why they are not feeling comfortable. Usually, they don’t shop much online, so they are quite fearful of buying costly items online.

I have been shopping online for a decade. I have a very few bad experiences. I have never got soap or similar kinds of items yet…that you see and read online.

But I accept online shopping is not for all. It requires some little skills to know the right sellers before buying expensive items.

My guess is, whatever the laptop they buy in offline shops. They will be paying a minimum ₹5000 to ₹15000 extra.

That too… now online sales are starting on 27th sep.

If they shop online, they could easily save a lot of money.

If you also don’t feel comfortable shopping online, try buying little less expensive items and get comfortable and save money and time.

In 99% of cases, nothing goes wrong.

Even if it happens, it’s easier to fix, at least on Amazon.

Wait a few more days till the sales start and order all the required items on sale day to save more.

My brother and I arranged all ATMs and credit cards to save more with bank discounts.

This is the right time to order expensive items for a bigger discount.

Once the sale starts, I will be talking more about the products you could buy.

Oh… if your mobile is slow, it could be the right time to easily exchange your old phone with a new one online.

don’t shop online till

After having a good tea sitting under a 2-speed Atomberg BLDC fan in my Home office, I’m writing today’s email.

Today, email about saving money on your online shopping.

Who doesn’t want to save money on online shopping? everyone does…

If you also do, then don’t buy anything online now. Wait a few more days.

Amazon India and Flipkart will start the year’s greatest sales next month. You can expect a good discount if you shop on those shopping days.

My younger brother and I waited almost a year to shop on those days to get better deals on some bigger and non-urgent items.

  • Sellers offer discounts
  • Bank offers discounts
  • Shopping sites also offer discounts

Combining all or a few of those allows you to save money by shopping online.

Make a list of items you plan to buy online and keep it somewhere. Once sales start, I will send an email so you can grab all those required items at an amazing deal.

If you are not an online shopper, I still recommend try buying at least small items to experience online shopping.

From small items to big home appliances, we order online and save.

Here are some of the product categories I recommend buying online instead of offline shops to save more if you are constructing a new home:

How I Saved 5000 rs on Shopping

I was shopping for AC and computer components to build a custom PC for my home office yesterday.

I prefer online shopping to offline shopping for convenience and savings.

I can always find good discounts and offers in an online shop rather than offline shops.

These days, I learned one more lesson that I would like to share with you to save even more. I used to ignore this for a few years, but one day, I decided to change this after seeing my brother getting more savings than me.

LOL “Smart TV Brands” Online these days

While resting on my bed a few days back, I casually browsed YouTube on my mobile.

While browsing, I saw a YouTube video suggesting one video about “TV Brands”.

This is something new…

No one had ever talked about such a topic before.

It’s original content like what I share in my emails about house construction guides. But it’s related to TV.

Good Locks for your House

When we selected interlocks for our first building, we picked Europa locks due to their brand name and key size.

Those small interlock key features made us go with Europa locks, then.

Would you love to have a Bulk key or a Small key?

We already have good experience in holding those old bulk interlock keys… This small key made a lot of difference in holding it, so we went with Europa keys.

Flipkart ended, Only Amazon is available

Yesterday, my brother and I were buying some products on Amazon.

Unlike previous year’s deals, this year it was quite difficult to get deals.

The limit of how much you can buy from a single card and all such other rules.

I think in the past few days, I ordered more than 50,000 worth of products. Because of some limitations from Amazon, I had to use multiple Amazon accounts and different SBI cards to secure deals.
