And a few years back, Flipkart started its own video service Platform, which can be seen by going to the video section of Flipkart’s app.

So friends, from which website do you shop Amazon or Flipkart? Do let us know in the comment box.
Amazon is far better as they give Refunds on the same day of pickup, sometimes even within 2 hours of pickup.
Flipkart may give you the option of Refund but in the process it will be changed to Replacement by them always without your knowledge. Flipkart is not at all trustworthy.
