Dear Readers, hope you are good and doing well. " An old saying that there is no age limit for learning. " and I completely agree with these words and I do believe that if you have it in you or if you have the passion to learn something new or are looking to do something adventurous then you can always learn something new and acquire new skills or enhance/polish the skills you already prowess and it is never late. It doesn't matter who you are or whatever you do, whether you are a student, part-time worker, full time worker, housewife, entrepreneur, etc. you can always improve your skills and digital means/e-learning is the most preferred way to learn something new with absolutely no cost. For this, you can browse through various educational websites such as Udemy.com , edx.org , or eduonix.com to find your dream course to acquire new skills or polish your existing skills. Although most of these educational websites offer free to enroll courses, they do have so...
Dear
Readers, as we all know that Xiaomi
(A well-known mobile manufacturer of china and also known as Apple of China/Chinese Apple) has
recently launched it's one of the finest flagship device Mi 3 in India through Flipkart.com
(A reputed online Mega Mart) at just Rs. 13,999/-. As far as I’m
concerned or dealt with it, Flipkart has always been known for providing
quality service and excellent customer support in case of Replacements and
Returns for items sold through WS Retail. .
Quick Specs. Of Xiaomi Mi 3:
Xiaomi Mi 3 packs Snapdragon 800 SoC with 2.3 Ghz Quad-Core Krait 400 CPU,
Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 5" Full HD 1080p IPS display with 441ppi, 16
GB Non-Expandable Storage, 3040 mAh Li-Ion Non-Removable Battery, Dual Wi-Fi,
NFC, Bluetooth, 13.0 MP Camera with Dual LED Flash, Front 2.9 MP Camera etc..
Explanation of Flipkart’s Sale
Day Drama: Mi 3 was first launched in India on July,
22nd, 2014 @ Flipkart.com and reports says that Flipkart made sales on
sale day as under:
1.
Many reports on Internet states that the Initial
(First) sale went for less than 30 minutes.
2.
The Second sale was reported to
ended within a couple of minutes.
3.
The Third sale was reported to be
ended within a fragment of few seconds.
4.
The Fourth sale was reported to be
ended again within a few minutes.
5.
Lastly but not finally, the Fifth sale
is reported to be ended in less than 2.4 seconds. . .
Q:
So, how could anyone be able to make purchase, if the device (20,000 pieces) is
getting sold out under 2.4 seconds. . The
main reason and truth behind this sale day drama is Flipkart's newly launched
service Flipkart First . .
What is Flipkart First ?
Flipkart
First service is a per year
subscription provided to customers by Flipkart.com as the cost of
Rs. 500/- for providing
facilities like Reduced Faster Delivery
Charges (Same day delivery), No minimum charges for free delivery, in-a-day
guarantee, Early Access and Exclusive offers. . Exclusive offers and Early Access is what that tricked every other
customer out there. . This facility allows Flipkart’s subscribed users or paid
users I would prefer to call, to try or complete their purchase before the
actual launch time/sale day. . This is why sale ends in less than 3 seconds
because most of their stock has already been sold out to Flipkart's Subscribed
customers. I wonder if even a single piece of stock is still left behind for
the actual sale after this drama...
Conclusion:
Flipkart is making a wrong use of their
Flipkart First service, because of extremely low stock, people who are really
looking to purchase their Mi 3 at any cost prefer to take Flipkart First
service by spending Rs. 500/- and they get chance to purchase their Mi 3 or any
other Exclusive launch offer on a day before actual launch date . .
Black
Market of Mi 3: As Xiaomi is producing
extremely low stock of their flagship device Mi 3, people who have already
bought their Mi 3 are re-selling their Mi 3 @ cost higher than it's
initial/MRP cost of Rs. 13,999/-. . I have even looked out for people selling
their used devices and peoples that have just added their Mi 3 to their Flipkart
Cart to make money out of it... This is because of the Demand and Supply rule
of Economics that Xiaomi has forgotten to abide, as a result of it, the buyers
are becoming re-sellers and gaining profits by selling at Rs. 16,000/- or
more.. Because of the relaxation provided by Flipkart to add the smartphone to
customer's cart and allowing a period of approx. 1+1/2 working days, many
people have commented on many websites/blogs that they require a specific
amount of money to be transferred to their account and they'll provide flipkart
the address of the person who pays the reseller the specific amount he demanded
at COD (Cash on Delivery). . A lot of people are speaking off providing
other buyers the technique that’ll allow them to buy this Mi 3 again at the
cost of extra money. So, a lot of Black Market already going out there.. This
post is specially for Flipkart to let them know about what their Flipkart First
Service is delivering on their reputation and market . .
