The price of the product, product description, specification and customers' review about the product will be automatically displayed. Both the MRP price and the price after discount will be shown on your screen. You can check the details of payment methods, shipping charges and number of days for the delivery of product.

Sometimes, free gifts are given to the customers, other times discounts are being given. Some of these offers given by Snapdeal are mentioned below.
Shipping charges are usually deducted on the online purchase of goods but on some products, there are no shipping charges. This depends upon the price of product or the quantity. Next thing that we need to consider is the payment method. Snapdeal provides payment options like Credit/Debit card, Credit card EMI, Net banking, Cash on Delivery, SD Cash. A good thing about this website is the Cash on Delivery feature. In my point of view, almost all customers are using this feature in which the payment is made only after the customer receives the product. I think you must be familiar with the other payment methods except the Credit card EMI. In the Credit card EMI method, the payment can be made in 3-6 months of installment; the minimum cart value for this is Rs. 2500. This facility is only for the credit card holders of HDFC, ICICI, Citibank, Standard Chartered, Axis, Kotak & HSBC bank. Cancellation, Return and Refund policies of Snapdeal :

I'm not a regular customer of Snapdeal but I have purchased a Sony Ericsson Live and a Walkman from it. I chose the Cash on Delivery payment method and it cost me Rs.13,225. There was no shipping charge. From my experience, I can say that if you buy a product from this site, you will receive the product undamaged & with its quality retained. The product I received on delivery was without any damage. Today, I'm very happy with my phone. The product order page and my phone's images are given below.
