I purchased a bosch refrigerator from Flipkart which was much cheaper than in the store. However it was continuously giving problems and I spent a lot on repairs as the co even refused to extend warranty.
However I purchased Dreame robotic cleaner through Amazon and did not have any problem
It’s a hit or miss, no matter where you buy it from 😢.
Misinformation and outdated information in the first couple of minutes that I had to stop watching. Outdated information is regarding prices, online price being lower was true till maybe 5 years ago. In the last 5 years, I have ALWAYS found offline stores offering lower prices. It is just that many people don’t even go and check with the offline stores. Even if the initial price they quote is higher, the moment you tell them online price, they lower the price. People just assume that offline stores are expensive. Even if it is same price as online, a store with physical is easier to deal with in case of problems. And misinformation is regarding the “quality”. This has been widely known for decades, and at least for 25 years on internet forums that companies sometimes use different components for bulk buyers for the exact same model number. This is a global phenomenon. I have talked to someone who worked in a very large electronics manufacturer and he confirmed the same. The model number and specs will be the same, but some of the components used will be cheaper. Cheaper components have higher probability of failing early. This is done because bulk buyers negotiate lower prices with companies when they buy directly. The companies then reduce their cost by replacing some internal components with cheaper ones. This doesn’t necessarily mean online (because many products available online in India are from independent sellers), but also for chain offline stores. This also happens for products meant for different countries, not necessarily different retailers in the same country. Sometimes this is also done in the later batches of a particular model (when a newer model has come out) to reduce the costs further. In the west, this is very well known and people know which chains have lower quality electronic for the exact same model number. In India, because the sector is not that organized, this is hard to find. This doesn’t mean this always happens and with every product, but it does happen. So can’t just discard the statement completely. Same model number and same specs does not necessarily mean exact same internal components.
