The festive season brings with it a wave of excitement, not only for celebrations but also for the much-anticipated e-commerce sales. Flipkart and Amazon are gearing up to launch their sales events, and in a bid to generate buzz, they’ve been teasing upcoming deals. However, Flipkart seems to have taken a step further by promoting what some perceive as an unrealistic deal on Apple iPhones.
The Rs 11 iPhone 13 Deal: Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale
In the days leading up to its Big Billion Days sale, Flipkart has been showcasing limited-time hourly deals to build anticipation. On September 22nd, a banner appeared on the platform promising the iPhone 13 for just Rs 11 at 11 PM IST. This generated considerable excitement among deal-hunters and regular users alike.
At the appointed hour, the deal went live as promised. However, many users reported that the ‘buy now’ button was not functional, and an error message kept appearing. The product was listed as ‘out of stock’ within seconds.
Despite this, there were claims on social media that some individuals were able to successfully place orders. It remains unclear whether these orders will be fulfilled or canceled.
History of Controversial Deals
This is not the first time Flipkart has faced criticism for such promotional tactics. Recently, the platform was under fire for canceling orders for the Moto G85 after offering a massive 99% discount. This led to widespread disappointment among customers who had eagerly awaited the deal.
