whats the advantage of buying online instead in retail shops. Do we really get the products for less price when compared to retail shops.

Hi
As a matter of fact, assuming that the seller adopts a "Online Sales" strategy, it ought to be cheaper since he does not have to jack up his profit margin as much as a local retailer has to. However, just like for everything else, it might help if you do a little shopping, both online and off to arrive at a judicial decision.
You could do a swift check on other online shopping stores like www.indiaplaza.in or www.shopping.indiatimes.com or www.yahoo.co/in/shopping and see how it sells elsewhere online.You could Scoot off on a weekend and check some retail shops for prices on the same product you wanted to buy and make your decisions accordingly.
However, you might try the auction part of ebay and get some good deals. 🙂
Happy Shopping!

Not cheaper rather reduces price of the item and increases the courier charges.

Actually I find that most of the items are costlier . May be the sellers think that the buyers are fools ,and they do not check up the prices before actually buying online .

First - People do not understand the concept of on-line shopping. Which one to buy in on-line sites. Products which are not available in regular market.
Products which can be bought cheaply than the market price.
But i could see lot of buyers buying common things like mobiles for high rates through online
