Offline market vs online market. From where to purchase?

 

The answer to this question can be yes and no both, depending on your taste and preferences. Sometimes amazon helps a lot but It sucks too. Here in this article, we will be discussing in details that why amazon is not a good choice for you, and when it can be good for you to purchase for you.

Here is my case, I am disappointed with amazon and for few months I am not using it, and I will be addressing the problems you may face on amazon. So just enjoy the difference between the offline market vs the online market with proof.

 

Why Amazon is not a good place to purchase-

 

Here I will give you plenty of the frauds and errors on amazon on which amazon should take care of it. Once I needed a new computer system and I searched for the required components on amazon and it seems very costly and then I searched for those same products in the offline market and trust me there was a huge price difference. On amazon,,, the prices reached up to rs 70’000 (947 USD).

Whereas in the offline market I got the same stuff at the price of only Rs 53000 (717 USD). Here you can easily see that there is a huge price difference. You can see the pic of the bill I am attaching-

 

 

Here in the above bill, you can clearly see that the price in the offline market is 717 USD but I can bet that the amazon prices are still high after 3 months, so better prefer both the online prices and offline prices. The reason behind Amazon is expensive because sellers on amazon have to share some amount with amazon as a commission which they try to recover from you.

In the above bill, I have purchased –

8GB corsair ram	Rs 3600	48.79 USD
1000 GB HDD	Rs 3200	43.37 USD
22” LG IPS panel 22mk600m	Rs 8500	115.20 USD
Corsair sp 01 cabinet	Rs 3000	40.66 USD
Corsair 450 watt smps (silver)	Rs 2600	35.24 USD
Gigabyte m310 board	Rs 4900	66.41 USD
Intex protector 725 ups	Rs 1600	21.68 USD
Zotac gtx 1050 ti 4GB graphics module	Rs 12000	162.63 USD
Intel i5 9400f 9 the gen	Rs 13800	187.03 USD

 

You can still compare these prices even now after 3 months also on amazon and you will see amazon will win in price hike. So better in my opinion just go the offline, market also.

Is amazon a safe place to purchase?

 

Just leave the price issue on amazon but still, many things will create problems for you on amazon. There are some policies of amazon that irritate me such as- the maximum time when you will purchase you will not be able to select cash on delivery option. Once you purchased the products and received the products and when you came to find that those products are faulty then you cannot get a refund, instead, you will get a replacement, but have you ever thought that if you want your money and not the product and want your money back, then what will happen- you cannot get cashback in your account in most of the cases, amazon can only transfer that money in the amazon pay balance.

Sometimes you may also get fooled by the sellers such that in some cases you may see a different photo of the product or name and when it will be delivered to you it will be something else, so be aware before purchasing and always read the reviews before placing the order.

So at last my recommendation will be that you should always consider the offline market as well, and try to find out the prices and compare them on multiple platforms.
