Since 3 Years, Daraz.pk has been offering "Huge" sale on the last Friday of November dubbed "Black Friday". I personally have been a great fan of these sales and have bought a lot of stuff off it. The first time it was offered, I bought a cell phone which had a staggering 50% off on it. This year, I had plans to buy a lot of stuff. The off percentages weren't disappointing this year too. Some items even had a 60% off on it. By now you are probably wondering,"okay then what sucked?" well, EVERYTHING!!! If you have been using internet for a past few months, you might know an app called "VEON". Ask anyone to tell you what it is, no one knows. So anyway Daraz decided to "TEAM UP" with VEON and introduced "VEON BIG FRIDAY" sale. What happend was there was a normal discount on an item and then there was an exclusive "VEON BIG FRIDAY" discount. The normal discount was nothing out of the ordinary. The real deal was the VEON thingy. So in order to really avail the discount you had to install the VEON app and so I did. Now keep this in mind i'm not a normal everyday user. I'm Studying Software Engineering. Now imagine a techie like me having difficulties understanding an app. Yeap, that's just about it. I mean i opened the VEON app. I was expecting to link to the Daraz app and take me to the hottest discounts and a message saying "The VEON BIG FRIDAY SALES ARE NOW AVAILABLE" but no. The app opened up and asked me to register which I did. After that, it took me to a screen which had a chat head kinda layout telling me to avail the "Big Friday discounts on Daraz.pk". I clicked on that and it took me to the Daraz app. And thats it, everything else was same. After cursing DARAZ and VEON for a few minutes, I managed to calm my nerves and thought okay maybe the deals are cheaper now. Went to the daraz app, checked the article I was interested in, and it said "12,999" as a discount price compared to the original 16,000. In the picture, of the article, there was written, "VEON Big Friday disocunted price: 7,999". Okay but HOW THE HELL TO GET THAT PRICE?!? Calming my nerves again, I decided to proceed to checkout thinking "Maybe they will give the discounted price at the checkout" which to my expectations, they didn't. Long story short, The "VEON SHITTAKI MUSHROOMS" app just ruined the only sale event in Pakistan and Daraz might just have lost their regular customer. Thankyou VEON, or rather SHITON (:

I couldnt agree more... this year, everything was just terrible... the good stuff had ordinary discounts (nothing like a Black Friday)... n the cheap stuff that no one would ever in the sane minds would buy were dropped down to 96% discount..... that doesnt even make sense...
ReplyDeleteThere are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.samsung smartwatch
