Bad news for Indian online buyers

While on the one hand the Indian government is seen to encourage anything digital it has now put a restriction making online buying a torture There are countless hurdles just so that buyers go for off line buying
Online buying has become a habit with me and what I have read in this link below is not something that is palatable to me
The present government is all out to please Reliance who have an online presence but that route will lead the buyer to their offline stores. This company pours money to help the present government in their election campaigns It is a give and take policy
But the sufferer is the buyer. Who cares?
India has made some drastic changes to its online shopping policy which will significantly impact how people shop.

I suggest you go through that link. This is all to do with Reliance. You go online and then they will direct you to their off line stores.

@allknowing I think they are reducing the online options for people because offline store lobby want to retain business.

There is one individual who has a great rapport with the PM. There is a kind of war between the PM and the Opposition about this person who is the richest in India. The government is dancing to his tune

At the moment there is no problem for buying wiht Amazon here but I don´t doubt that they will have a few spokes ready to put in our wheels pretty soon as well.
Amazon does not deliver good that well here something you kind of put up with.
Their excuse is the transport and they have no problem charging you though.

Pleased for you about that as wha they tell us is unless we have somewhere central where we live they find it hard to park anywhere.
Excuses from them I have heard a thousand also from other transport entities.

We have a great courier system and so no complaints on that count so far.

@LadyDuck Once we get into the habit of online shopping it will be difficult to give it up.

@allknowing Switzerland is now taxing the companies that makes more than 100,000$ a year in sales in our country. It's becoming a problem because some companies do not deliver anymore to Switzerland. Amazon.com does not deliver anymore, I can still order from Amazon France and Amazon Italy.

Exploiting the majority status this PM is throwing his weight around doing what pleases him Reliance is his pet company and chooses them over everyone else in various industries. This online rule is just to make people go to their off line stores nationwide.
