How to Find Genuine Offers and Deals Online

Nowadays almost everyone is coming up with offers which are too hard to resist. But in reality most of these so-called offers or deals are in fact comes with hidden charges and other charges. Thus it is for us to find out which of these deals are genuine and which are not. Many online shopping portals offer these days huge discount on products or at least claim that way, but in reality most of these huge discounts come with a hidden shipping costs, which most of these sites don’t show or display but will add it only while you are shopping and checking out. What is more surprising is that the shipping costs sometimes will be very high on these huge discounted products which would not even cost you half or even less for shipping the same product. Thus they try to get from you the maximum amount which they have waived off in the name of huge discounts.

Thus you should be wary of such plus and minus strategy that these online shopping sites adapt. You should always look for shipping costs on anything regardless of whether it is discounted or not as this is how they mostly profit from selling online.

I could state example from eBay where they sell some products for Rs. 1 as against the original price of Rs. 250 (for example) but when you checkout you could actually be surprised to see that you would have been charged around Rs. 250 where the additional charge would have been added in the name of shipping charges! This is really disgusting to see such tactics adapted by such popular sites like eBay. So, watch out for these.

Another way to find a genuine offer online is to look for the price of the same product offline if you have time to do this. You will actually be surprised to know that the same product would be sold a lot less than what was claimed as huge discount in these online shopping portals. Although there is a convenience of getting it delivered at home with these shopping portals but we should be wary of such tactics taken up by these sites in the name of discounts. We should know which one to buy and which one to skip.

With regard to freebies, some are really genuine but some sites use a strategy of increasing the price of the original product and give you a freebie and hence adjusting the price of the freebie and sell you in the guise of giving away a free gift to you for the purchase. You can make a research and find out the price of the same product elsewhere, online, and see how genuine is that particular freebies offer is.

Some offers comes with “conditions apply” tag attached to it and will be applicable only if those conditions are met. Reading those terms and conditions is a good habit to avoid future disappointments and frustrations due to these hidden conditions. There is nothing wrong in spending time on reading and researching these offers, after it is your hard earned money that is being wasted in the name of offers and deals.

If you could differentiate between a genuine offer and fake ones you surely can make your shopping online a pleasant experience and a profitable one too.

Thanx eplus for the image.

Get Crazy Kart Gaming CD for Free from Zapak

Zapak, the leading online gaming portal in India, has introduced a new online game called Crazy Kart. It is actually a racing game, obviously, with many twists and turns and even action with blowing off the other carts using the controls, etc. It is claimed to be one of the leading online racing gaming and it is brought to India for the first time by Zapak Games. I suppose you can play this only online and not offline.

To promote this game they are actually giving it away for free either through direct download or by requesting a free CD of the game. If you do really have a fast broadband connection and an unlimited package, you can download the entire game, which is about 230 MB size, here. But if you don’t want to download it due to various reasons, you can actually claim a free game CD from Zapak. They will send this free Crazy Kart Game CD to you without any hidden charges or postal charges.

To avail this, all you need to do is to visit this page and click on Request a free CD and you will be prompted to login to your Zapak account. If you already have a Zapak account, login and give the necessary details like name, address, phone number, etc to receive the free CD. If you don’t have an account with Zapak, you can register for free and then request for the free game CD from the above link.

This game on the looks, seems a decent racing game. But I have not played it yet, but going to give it a try this weekend and see how it is and will post an update here in the comments. But anyway you are actually getting a free gaming CD, who is going to complain whether it is good or bad! ;-)

But if you want to try it out before ordering a free CD, you can visit this page and try it out for yourself and decide.

You can get this free Crazy Kart Game CD here at Zapak.

But I am always skeptical and against Zapak with the way they treat their users. Myself and most of them (who still send me a mail about not getting it) have still not received the prize which we won from their previous Zapak Cricket Quiz. I have posted about this contest here. They just sent a mail very long back stating that we have won the prize and to update our address, etc to claim the prize but till now I have not received it yet. I want to know whether someone has indeed received the prize money from Zapak for that cricket quiz that they won? Kindly update it here in the comments. Zapak should rectify these major issues that they have, else they will continue to disappoint us with such bad examples set by them.
