Electronics and household app.
Every year Big Bazaar launches a scheme in which old items can be sold for get Exchange coupons. They show the scheme as lucrative as rates given for old items in kgs will be high. Whereas in actual teh scheme is only to cheat everybody.
I wanted to buy a LCD TV in this scheme. The price that Big Bazaar is charging for KG/ Samsung TV are higher than market price by Rs 4990. Even if I redeem exchange coupons I land up paying Rs 2000 extra than market price. Such a difference is also there in Microwaves. The customers are being cheated in name of exchange scheme. Another example is in Food Bazaar. Dabur Chawanprash 2 kg is given in Big Bazaar at Rs 360. Whereas in market it is available at Rs 330. In the name of exchange scheme, Big Bazaar kacks up prices of all goods. Custoemrs loose their old items also, which can fetch some money at kabariwala.
Big Bazaar should be competely banned in India. Consumer courts should look into the prices being offered by Big Bazaar in name of exchange scheme.
