Advertised discounts may not be yours

Advertised discounts may not be yours




Though many buyers managed to buy things at fabulous discounts, thousands of miffed customers discovered that their orders had not been executed. The fact is that there are too many people jostling for the same goods.

According to Flipkart, it received a billion hits, while the number of people who actually managed to get their hands on the stuff was just 1.5 million. In other words, one in every 600 visitors to the site managed to shop. So, remember that you may not be able to get the advertised discount.

You may be well-prepared with all your payment details at hand, but you can never be sure that you will get the things you want at the discounted price. Take the case of the Xiaomi phones launched a few weeks ago. At times, they were gone in less than 3 seconds.

When there are millions of people competing against you, keep in mind that the probability of you making a purchase is bound to be extremely low.
