The Myntra Fast and Fashionable Sale Review
Good morning, Everyone!
How are you all doing today?
If you have not heard of the Myntra Fast and Fashionable Sale, I'm sure you have, you should go check it out. By the way, Myntra is app only now. Going by the advertising they have done and my previous post (if you read me), you should have come to know by now.
Even though I was thoroughly disappointed by the sale last time, I did not want to give up on Myntra. I have had better experiences with them when I shopped from their website, pre-app days, so it did not put me off. I had almost all the things I had wanted from the previous sale, stored in my wishlist. So I just checked back and added a few more things in my wishlist before this sale started.
I was up all night studying for a Forensic Medicine exam which I am writing tomorrow. So, I was not really sure if I would wake up in time for the sale and like last time be added in queue. But I placed an alarm for 7:45am, just in case, I hate waiting in queues even virtually!
As you can see, there are a variety of brands that are on offer. Not everything on my wishlist was on sale. Just 4 or 5 items. I had 80 items on the list. I'd easily give anyone a heart attack if all of them were 50% off, if I bought them. Which is why user discretion is so important these days. Do I really need all 80 outfits?
This time the app loaded with just one or two glitches. I had two gadgets with me, when in one the app would freeze or say Sorry, Blah Blah ...we can't load due to errors , then I would switch to the other and in that I could easily browse through. When that would freeze, I'd go back to my phone and browse. In that way, I was able to add clothes in my shopping cart. Yes, I had to use two gadgets to shop successfully, Myntra. It would have been nicer if that could be avoided during the next Sale. But I was very happy that there was no wait time or waiting in queue to get into your app to shop during this sale. That was my biggest frustration last time.
I had no problem adding the pieces I wanted to the shopping bag. I am a size XL currently and those sizes are the first to run out. That's one pet peeve, Myntra. You need to stock larger sizes as they run out really fast.
I had already fed in my details, address etc earlier and just had to click on order. Immediately, a form is generated confirming your order, Vat added and total amount. I get cash on delivery in my location, so that was easy too. In a couple of minutes, I received an email stating the order and time it would take to receive it.

To my surprise, I woke up to hear the alarm ring. Miracles of the Heavens above. I can't believe I woke up. I must have badly wanted bottom wear. As I write this post, I have to tell you what I am feeling too. Not just as a blogger but also as a shopper. Have you noticed the ginormous price hike in clothes at stores and markets these days? It's crazy especially in a city like Mangalore where you do not have too many options to shop. You either find something at the store or you don't. And you are at the mercy of the shopkeeper if you are buying from the market, they don't put an mrp value on most things, they look at how you are dressed and quote a price. Most things are sold over-priced in the market. You tend to find more reasonable items at a mall. And when I say the mall is reasonable, I have got to be kidding you. Things are WAY overpriced in department stores at the mall too. But atleast, you know you can look at the price tag in a mall and don't get into an emotional fit taxying between whether the outfit is in your budget and the harrowing pressure tactics by the sales person, 'Madam, you want this or not! Tell me fast, Madam. Madam, Madam.....you want or no, you can take only two seconds to think, Madam'. Aaaargh!! You get the point, you are not allowed to think in a bustling market. Most times when you shop there, you are at the mercy of the shop keeper plus no price tags. You need to keep asking, 'Bhaiya, how much is this please?' And you can't ask a hundred times. So those are some good points about shopping online. You can see the price, size, fabric and atleast ten other parameters about the dress you are buying with the pleasure of seeing it on another individual. It's like 3D shopping.
I am a very (add twenty more 'very's) difficult shopper. I take my time to think if I really need something. Prefer shopping alone too, it frustrates whoever comes with me that I go through twenty stores and come back home with nothing. I don't just buy things because they have a price drop or I just like the color. I need to feel the fabric, imagine how it will look on me, durability of material, comfort factor, easy wash, weight of item (when I travel I prefer natural and more lighter fabrics), When I was younger I was not so fussy, I'd just buy anything that was heavily discounted and in bright, bubbly colors. Things have changed a whole lot and for the better (for the sight of the beholder). If I were the only person on this planet I'd wear neon, overtly jhatak and bad-ass, bright pops of color. I've been stopped so many times and told to dress in more easier on the eye shades (when I was younger)

I had no problem adding the pieces I wanted to the shopping bag. I am a size XL currently and those sizes are the first to run out. That's one pet peeve, Myntra. You need to stock larger sizes as they run out really fast.
But the shopping bag, was a real breeze. Adding things to cart had no glitches and it was all in perfect working order.

I had already fed in my details, address etc earlier and just had to click on order. Immediately, a form is generated confirming your order, Vat added and total amount. I get cash on delivery in my location, so that was easy too. In a couple of minutes, I received an email stating the order and time it would take to receive it.
Finally, I have to add, even though I was a teeny bit stressed about whether I could grab some clothes, because I don't have any , I was really relieved once the order was executed and I got a confirmation mail. I am just taking deep breaths, telling my friends it's easy to shop this time, telling you guys how my experience was and I am going to eat my breakfast now.
Total time I spent on the app was close to an hour.
Go ahead, if you like something get it. It's not that hard and it didn't crash on me. You might find it a favorable experience too.
I find it hard to get natural fabrics online. I wish they'd stock more cotton and linen shirts. I find it easier to buy more cotton shirts from abroad. You get so much variety. But here, it's a different story.
I have a question, where do you buy your cotton shirts from?

I was actually skeptical to buy from Myntra app after reading reviews on play store but now i feel i must give them a go.
ReplyDeleteMegha, I just finished shopping with them a few hours ago. Now, I am tempted to look again if I can find something more. They keep adding stock through out the sale. So, instead of studying, I am getting tempted to shop again :P
DeleteMy experience was a hundred times better this time, so I was happy and am waiting for my package to arrive. I hope everything fits *fingers crossed*
Why they shifted to only app brand is beyond my reasoning. Shopping on the website was so much easier!
ReplyDeleteSo what all did u buy finally.. waiting for haul pics..
I was quite taken aback when they suddenly became app only. I do miss browsing their website. Checking so many items out by swiping on a tablet makes me feel nauseous too but I braved all of it and bought four pieces. I would have hauled more but I was really worried that the four things in my cart would go out of stock, if I spent more time browsing. And finally, I would get nothing.
DeleteYou are right! I must do a haul post, the package will reach me before 26th, i will try to do one by then. Good idea, I wouldn't have thought about it. I bought three pairs of bottom wear and one shirt. If the size and everything fits as per description, am planning to buy more stuff from myntra again. I like their transparent system, customer service and return policies. They play fair. Have a great Sunday, Supriya
I have completely stopped using websites during sales cause they keep crashing all the time.. But then again I miss out on all the fun :(

Hi Rajshree. True, the user experience needs to be considered and improve up on. It's really a lot of fun, isn't it :)
DeleteThis is a super fun post... loved reading it.
