Not Again. 🙁 FlipKart has raised its minimum order price to Rs 500 to avail free Shipping otherwise flat Rs 50 Charge. Trying to kill the golden goose that laid eggs for them in the first place.

Indian Govt has restricted foreign investment for ecommerce companies.
As most Indian Ecommerce Companies are funded by Foreign Ventures the fall is inevitable unless there is a change in policy brought about by the government.
No signs of Amazon entering India too as FDI in retail bans ecommerce.
The death of Indian ecommerce is near and to be honest its a very sad end.

Agreed that it may be the reason. But a common consumer does not know all this. The least Flipkart could have done is informed users about the change. They keep increasing the prices in secrecy with a consumer caught offguard when he tries to shop. Companies need to keep the consumer informed about their price and policy changes.

only in our dreams , flipkart price changes everyday , reduce Rs 100 and raise rs 200navjotjsingh said:
flipkart has gone greedy , except for few items on Flipkart there are alternatives for most of them
@Mediafire There are under pressure to turn profitable.Looks like they have chosen the wrong method by increasing prices suddenly without any announcement.
Infibeam is not run by any foreign funding.So atleast hope that they can sustain in the longer run.
Many unknown startup ecommerce sites have shutdown,few have Merged
Everyone knew it was an ecommerce bubble.Many started sites so that they will be acquired by bigger players like Amazon.
Our Indian Government has so far only shown middle finger towards amazon.
We can only hope for things to change but realistically they have made it difficult for small and medium businesses.

500 is just way off. to get free shipping.
Atleast with FK we get good service.
but with snapdeal its not that great. Like yesterday i got a delivery from them and the product they sent is a miss match case. Now as expected instead of some quick resolution they sent a mail that we are working on it wait for more 24- 48 hours for our resolution.
So another 3days wasted with snapdeal.
With Fk, they give resolution in few min when ever i had a problem and it was really rare.

When they increased from 200 to 300, it was a minor bump though significant as it increased by 50 %.
Now 500 is too much plus they also increased shipping charges from 30 to 50.
All the competing online book sites have rs 300 minimum for free shipping. now unless they too increase the prices to rs 500, FK will take a massive hit atleast in the books category.
