Xiaomi India — regarding black marketing of redmi 5 pro in thane

Address:

Thane, Maharashtra, 400607

I have been trying to buy a Redmi 5 Pro 4 Gb variant from online as well as offline mode but to no avail. On enquiring about its availability at the official Mi store in Thane on four different occasions, they always say that the phone is out of stock. I also tried to book it online but it becomes out of stock too soon. Hence this online flash sale mode is of no use for genuine buyers. Meanwhile, I also tried to enquire about its availability at New Jalaram mobile store, near Thane station. The store attendant told me that it can be made available but for that I have to shell out Rs. 2000 more than the market price, i. e. Rs 16000/- for a Rs 14000/- worth phone. It is noteworthy that New Jalaram store is an sales partner for Xiaomi phones in Thane, Maharashtra. Clearly, black marketing is being done of this phone by creating artificial shortage and I suspect the involvement of some Xiaomi salespeople as well in this case of organised loot. Please pay heed to my complaint and take appropriate actions against the guilty.
