WTF is this Platform Fee!

I am fed up of paying platform fees.

Buy subscription, still pay platform fee?

Remember this is not even their end game. It will keep on getting worse. Once they have monopoly they will suck you dry

I don't understand this concept of buying and then complaining. If you think if too high , don't buy

They are trying these things but ultimately they shouldn’t forget

  1. The customer base is still insignificant and limited to tier 1 and 2 cities
  2. People will and do go to malls for shopping. One cant take away the thrill of touching clothes and trying new designs at Zara or H&M
  3. They will never be able to eradicate or replace the existing local shops significantly

There entire existence is based on the fact of convenience, too much nonsense like this and they will be ditched

I already havent ordered a single thing from myntra, swiggy, or zomato in over 1.5 years now. Even ditched blinkit unless something very essential comes up

Some Myntra prime insider...(bought using coins)

Swiggy one etc.

Every other person has myntra insider so that doesn’t count. Platform fees is justified here since no real money is being taken from users just for membership.

But yes swiggy one is useless now. Its so costly now plus minimum amount for free delivery also keeps on increasing.

It's to detest the frequent returns on the platform, they can't charge the reverse shipment fees so have settled with platform fee.

For sketchy accounts Myntra will not even create a reverse pickup, and ask the user to ship to their warehouse saying we'll cover your courier charges, again to create friction for user in returning stuff.

They're a business not a charity, most people still buy offline while discounting the personal overheads incurred for the feels of doing stuff.

Flipkart even has started charging offer handling fees of ₹50, over and above their secured packaging fees.

Even tata cliq is charging ₹29 fee per order. It's an industry wide phenomenon.

These non refundable charges goes a long way to nudge the user not to return stuff rather keep it as it's already delivered and this minute deduction is enough of a swing.
