Buy from ws retail (flipkart) or Amazon Fulfilled listings. For warranty details, ask the seller/ Lenovo India CC.

Look for WS Retail or Cloudtail at amazon. These two are surely certified.

Tips for best online shopping experience
* On Flipkart, if possible buy only from WS Retail

* On Amazon, if possible buy only the items that are part of "fulfilled by Amazon" programme

* In any virtual marketplace, buy only from sellers that have good reputation (feedback score) and have done a few hundred transactions

* On eBay, pay through PaisaPay and get the items through courier. This creates a record of the transaction, which can be useful if you face issues with a seller. Also, eBay doesn't release PaisaPay money to a seller unless it gets a confirmation that the product has been delivered

* If you run into an issue, raise a claim with the platform owner immediately. Also, communicate with the seller on email so you have some documentary proof

* If possible, buy from only the sellers that list their contact numbers and emails IDs

* If possible, buy only the goods that come with official warranty and not "seller warranty"

What did you decide?

???
my friend will decide.. I just told him... He will decide...
And when we went to buy laptop on lamington road, mumbai.. there we find some "dell, lenovo" authorized stores.. they were giving priority to "those" brands only, telling both of us to buy "this brand" only...
so he is finding out authorized brands stores, and now I told all this, what we are discussing in this thread..
So lets see what happens..
thanks.. all.. :)
