When Flipkart announced the takeover of Letsbuy.com, there were many who rejoiced. There were also those who felt that their online choices were down by one. Letsbuy.com, though nowhere near Flipkart, has its own unbeatable offers. There are mobiles and other electronics available here at rates cheaper than on Flipkart. But just when it was getting popular, the news of the acquisition came through.
One unique feature that Letsbuy.com has (and Flipkart doesn't!) is an exchange offer. You can get rid of your old electronic or electrical items by sending them to Letsbuy.com (free of charge) and exchanging them for new products. Though many products are taken only at junk value, there are some others such as mobile phones or laptops that fetch a few thousand rupees.
You have to first register the product you want to sell at buyback.Letsbuy.com.com. Once you submit your product details , you will be given an approximate quote. If you are satisfied with the price, Letsbuy.com will give you an inactive voucher and will pick up the product from you. If the product is in bad condition , Letsbuy.com will reduce the price quoted. If you don't accept the reduced price, Letsbuy.com will return the product to you. If the product's condition matches your description, the inactive voucher will be activated and you can use it to make a new purchase.
There aren't many online sites with similar offers. You may wonder why you have to undertake such pains when you can just walk in to an electronic/mobile store nearby and get your old phone/gadget exchanged. The reason is that not all stores have exchange offers. You also cannot exchange your old laptop for a mobile at a mobile store.
One main reason why you may want to exchange with Letsbuy.com is the range of products available and the unbeatable prices they come at.
It is doubtful whether Flipkart will choose to retain the scheme after the acquisition is complete. But as of today, the scheme exists and if you have an old phone or laptop, you can check whether it is worth exchanging at Letsbuy.com.
