Today while ordering food on "Sagar Ratna" webesite, at about 1:00 PM I had an unpleasant experience. After ordering food on line and getting a discount coupon of 10% I ordered food at the cost of Rs 399 delivered to my flat. After 20 minutes the local Sagar Ratna of Vasant Kunj, New Delhi 110070. where I reside stated that the food cannot be delivered at at that rate and for delivery the cost would be Rs480/- another 20% more. Since it was already late and fortunately I had not paid on line I had to concede extra payment to obtain the food. Such attempts at charging more from the agreed online orders is bad business practice and needs to be discouraged. more
