Online Shopping

Recently, I got a voucher from a survey site, the voucher was to be encased from a shopping site and that site was Indiatimes Shopping . I was happy in getting that voucher and thinking to buy something nice. After lot of tries, I was able to select some products after looking pictures of these products. Though, there was not much good stuff on the kitchen side on the site, as I was thinking to buy something for the kitchen. But I selected three products and gave them orders to ship me those, which shows on the site.

After a week, I got these products, with lot of excitement I opened the little boxes, I received from the site. But I was surprised to see the products and the quality of the product, the Indiatimes shopping, send to me. They charged so much of these products, they looks so cheap, not only cost wise but also quality wise. I think, in the market they were much cheaper than they charged from me. They removed the manufacturing dates and price tags from the boxes so that the customer could not see the price and manufacturing year.

One of the box contained manufacturing year as 06/09, I was very much surprised to see that, a branded site like Indiatimes shopping sent these products. Even they did not send the product which I selected, they sent me of different color product. It shows that they are dumping the old products to the customers with high price. The customer don't have any choice, as in my case, I myself selected the products. But how can I know the manufacturing dates and the quality of the product? I really felt cheated and made up my mind to never buy any product from Indiatimes shopping.

Therefore, if you are buying something online, be careful, first try the products in your area, otherwise you may fall with the tactics adopted by these online shopping sites.
