[Resolved]  Shopping. Rediff.com — Beware of "Valid for immediate purchase " on Rediff

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Rediff shopping utilizes a trick to entice customers to place an immediate order.
They give a popup called "Valid for immediate purchase" wherein the product cost is reduced a bit to entice customers to purchase rather than navigate away from that screen.

The problem is that the lower price doesn't always reflect while checking out and paying. I was given a lower price similarly, but when I paid through the online system, the amount charged was the original price.
I have attached a screenshot of the page where the popup occurs and want to warn potential customers to be very careful to verify the actual amount they are paying at Rediff. The worst part is that the customer service at Rediff doesnt seem to care since the sale has already occurred and even refuses to acknowledge that this promotional scheme exists on their website even after I gave them proof of the same!!!!
So advice customers to do their online shopping at other sites like Sify, Indiaplaza etc rather than on Rediff.
