Snapdeal’s Trustpay and its Hidden Terms
Snapdeal is one of India’s top online shopping websites. If you do a google search using the keyword “Top 10 shopping sites in india” , you will find Snapdeal in the top 5 spots. I have purchased a lot of items from Snapdeal and the experience is somewhat okay. I would give them a 2.5 / 5 considering my shopping experience with them. (Note: My rating is not based on 1 particular purchase).
To begin with, Snapdeal does not have direct control over the products sold on their website. Anyone can sell on Snapdeal hence, its somewhat like ebay. You need to extremely careful before purchasing a particular product also make sure you read the terms and conditions. Don’t just rely on online reviews as now a days its mostly paid reviews.
Below is the screenshot of some of my purchases at Snapdeal.
