Hi,
I had the most horrid time with futurebazaar.com. I had ordered for a Sony Vaio laptop from the website. The price listed in the website was Rs. 48, 000 and they were offering a fat discount of Rs. 7000 on it. I jumped on it, and paid using my credit card. That was 12 days back. Thats was Mar-16th.
[1] The website claims a 7-day delivery guarantee and it was only when i called the customer service cell did they tell me that this product was not covered under that and only on 31st March will the product be despatched from their website. Which means I will receive it on 2nd or 3rd April... 3 weeks for the delivery of a laptop .. thats quite preposterous!
[2] The price of Rs. 48, 000 turned out to be a lie. I thought Sony doesnt publish laptop prices on their website .. well, it turns out that they do it for some products including the model I had asked for. The laptop was priced at 42, 000 rupees (not 48k as the futurebazaar website says).
I have cancelled my order - am not going to live up to this nonsense. My advice to all others is to tread this futurebazaar path carefully. It's a different thing to create shops but a totally different thing to use technology efficiently and effectively.
Warm Rgds
