HOW I ORDERED AN MI3 IN LESS THAN 1 SEC ?

HOW I ORDERED AN MI3 IN LESS THAN 1 SEC ?

Hey What's MI3? Hold on guys,  I am not going to talk about Tom's Mission Impossible 3.

MI3  Xiaomi Mi3, Its a Android Smartphone produced by Xiaomi Tech, a China based company. 

(Note : Don't take this as just another 'China ka maal'. :)). Upon its release, it became the fastest selling smartphone in Xiaomi's history; the company sold 200,000 Mi3 units in China within 3 minutes of launch.

Just imagine its craze. It made its similar history in Singapore and Malasiya. Now its in rocking demand in India. You don't agree with? Check details in wiki here . 

Xiaomi Mi3 is available in India through Fipkart only. Its not as easy as buying just another product from Flipkart. Typically sold in flash sales - a very limited stock of it. Almost every week they fix a day and time to start the booking of this phone. whoever lucky and fast enough to book it will be eligible to place the order. There are around 2 lakhs consumers registered for 20k sets per week.

Details you can get here . 

Now you would be thinking its still easy. But No, you are not. if you see the last trends of this booking then you will find that product booking is closed within 2 seconds due to reaching its stock limit. 

Sharing my experience. I tried booking this product 4 times on specified time by flipkart. Everytime I clicked the button immediately as it appears but I was not lucky enough to book it and I get response 'OUT OF STOCK'. I thought Flipkart is kidding with us. But no, Its the craze of this phone that people are trying to buy it.

Finally, today, 26th August,  I booked it.... HURRAY. But not by usual way of clicking button manually. I did it through an automated way. (Don't think I created this automated extension , but I always wish to create one.  :) ).

After a lot of research I got to know about 'buyhutke' .This great start up has create an chrome extension which tries to book your MI3 product immediately it is on for booking in flipkart. So you don't need to bother about manually clicking the button on time. Rather this magical extension starts attempting to click the button seconds before the exact time and it books you the product even in less than a second (definitely your internet speed will matter in it. :)).

It has got very easy and simple steps, you can follow the steps in buyhatke for more clarity.

1. Register yourself in flipkart for  Xiaomi sale before so that you are eligible for booking and         buying.

2. Install the add on from buyhatke. (Please do this in CHROME.)

3. Subscribe to Xiaomi Mi3 alert from extension options page. You can also access it by right       clicking on the Buyhatke logo in your Chrome bar and clicking on options.

4. Open the browser , login to flipkart Xiomi 3 page, atleast 5 min before the start of booking of     the product.

5. Ensure that this addon is not disabled.

6. If your internet connection is good enough, hopefully your buyhutke addon will do the magic         and book the product for you and you can then place the order with payment process.

Note: This really worked for me. It really maximizes the chances of booking the product(if processed correctly. ), but does not gives 100% guarantee. 

There are many people (also sold on ebay and olx) who are taking extra bucks for just booking this product. No need to go that  way. You can also give it a try which I did. 

Hope this will help who are really struggling for this phone as i was few days before.

All the best. 

CHEERS!!!!!!
