I was looking to buy cashews so had this product in my watchlist- https://www.flipkart.com/nutraj-snackrite-roast...
Today i was surprised to see that the discount which was showing 40% yesterday had increased to 55%.
But the shocking part was that the selling price was the same.
These people increased the mrp by 100 rupees to show higher sale discount.
Blatant misrepresentation. I wont have posted if this looked like an error, but this is 100% deliberate. How did the mrp suddenly increase exactly at midnight when the sale started.
Reference for mrp (Although since i was constantly monitoring i am pretty sure of it) - https://www.amazon.in/Nutraj-Snackrite-Nutritio...
like PopsiCo supplies special packaged drinks to different channels like Demino's, here also NottyRaj did same in partnership FLIP 🛒 bro..
p s: I came online at midnight just to check if there is decent dry fruits deal...neeraasha... all time high this year
True... prices are too inflated. Need to wait till these fake sales are over to buy at regular price.
Could it be a new lot product with increased MRP? Since I am a regular buyer of cashew, I have observed a sharp increase of its price! Though that doesn't explain the MRP change at exact midnight.
During April/May, I have purchased 500 g cashew at around 240-250/- (after all discounts) from flipkart grocery, now the price has been hiked to 400 and above (after all discounts). I am unable to buy with so much cost.
Also, Flipkart hiked the price of nearly all the grocery products yesterday evening, after a price drop of the day before yesterday. The sale doesn't even feel like a sell with too inflated price (may be all time highest, who knows!).
Also. the online platforms are doing these for quite a times. In regular days, a 20% discounted price is lower than the 50% discount during sells! This is why you should never go after the % of discount, rather selling price!
Maybe seller wise it's different? Shows 299 MRP in Flipkart
MRPs are always super inflated, % discounts is and will always be meaningless.
Instead of putting a stop to shady business practices, these e-commerce companies thrive by fooling gullible customers.
This kind of fakery has always been happening in offline retail markets. I remember my mother buying a saree in co-optex - a state run textile showroom during a Diwali sale and when the 'sale' price sticker was peeled off, it had the lower original rate underneath! And this was back in the 90s.
Yes its marketing
Flipkart has low prices for the iPhone 12 Mini, but hasn't sold any due to unavailability since the start of Big Billion Days, creating hype instead.
Nowadays flipkart offers grateful prices
I love it 🥰
Flipkart=Fool's-kart
Book a complaint in Consumer court , with all proofs. Ask for charges w.r.t your financial and mental peace loss.
Ask for huge penalty on Flipkart , as they have cheated with General public.
That will be the best way to teach these big whales a good lesson.
71% is SALE price
31% is i checked before sale price😄
what a cheater FRAUDCART
My experience with Flipkart is that whenever I order something at a very great price it gets cancelled without even proper information.
I am surprised that being an experienced online shopper, you noticed this today which a novice notice within first 2 months

Maybe. Will be ordering it anyways. Will file consumer case if they deliver old mrp.
From my past experience flipkart always refunds in such cases. So lets see.
