Hehe

Nice writing... Had me in part splits.
On a serious note, yes, the trouble is there and there are good shops, too. But the product quality is less than desirable, more often than not.
.
I have been fooled a couple of times and am very cautious now about buying online. Electronics products are best bought in THE showroom of the company, not online - or you may just get the product, no warranty, no card, no nothing. Even the product may stop working the day after as happened to a 2-in-1 of mine - cost me just a 150/- :-) so was quite palateable.
.
My worst experience was of a raincoat bought from the site you are writing in (the 2-in-1 also was from the same site). I paid 600/- for a raincoat and when it arrived in a pathetic orange colour and flimsy fabric and design (different from what was advertised), I thought it would at least stop the water from drenching my body. I was wrong.
.
In this, the indiatimes site was much better - or maybe so because I bought only books there - so they reached me in time and in good condition. No complaints there. Lesson - books are something you can buy online (if you can't read them free).
.
I have also tried flowers and my experience was not bad. But cannot be too sure of others'.
