Flipkart the possible best site for all things and what it claims to be its biggest sale today with discounts and offers across 70 categories. The site claims its ‘The Big Billion Day’ and says it has dedicated 10,000 field staff to fulfill orders.
At sale, the company says it is offering multiple items at price of Re 1, up to 30% off on smartphones, computer accessories at Rs 15,000, fashion and perfumes at 50% off and toys at 50% off, among others. It’s also hosting exchange offers on televisions and phones and many more items.
The sale started at 8 am with some limited time, limited stock and partner offers. However, Flipkart is receiving flak for not being able to offer a good shopping experience and increasing the selling price before the start of the sale. even i have seen some prices of printers that were Rs 10000 before but later they increased its price to Rs 50000 and gave a hastag of 80% off. what can you say in this matter!!!!!!
The site crumbled due to increased load throwing random errors. A large number of consumers were not getting order confirmation after making payments and some were not able to see items they added to their shopping cart. The consumers started sharing their grievances on social networking websites, like Facebook, Twitter. Flipkart promised that it would resolve these issues and try to offer a better experience.While a lot of deals are now sold out, here are some good deals that can still be availed:
-Google nexus 7 2013 tablet at Rs 16999
– Motorola Moto X (Gen 1) Rs 17999
– Flat 10% off on Apple Phones
– Moto G (Gen 2) at Rs 4000 off
– Sony Bravia 32-inch LED TV at Rs 37,400
-Flat 20% off on Processors and Motherboards

Flipkart is also offering additional 10% cash back (up to a predefined limit) on payments made through Citibank and Standar Chartered credit cards. Interestingly, Flipkart has also started selling new smartphones including Huawei Honor 6, Alcatel Onetouch Fire C and Lenovo Vibe Z2, on the website starting today. These phones are exclusively available on Flipkart.
Meanwhile, Flipart’s competitors, Amazon and Snapdeal are also offering discounts on a large number of products to counter the sale. Snapdeal published a full-page newspaper ad with a message that cheekily said, “For others it’s a big day. For us, today is no different.”
