I would have like to include Flipkart in this list but their COD and shipping is often charges for even if you add items for flipkart advantage sellers. Even if you add 10 items in your cart they will charge you shipping separately for all 10 items which is such a nuisance. If you have other websites which you think offer the best shopping experience then do tell me in the comments.
