Watch the fourth Xiaomi Mi 3 Flipkart sale end in a few seconds

Flipkart did it again, as more than 1,00,000 customers who pitched in to buy the smartphone were let down with just 20,000 handsets vanishing in a few seconds for the fourth time.

Flipkart’s big Xiaomi Mi 3 flash sale was at 2 PM today and millions had already registered for just 20,000 Mi 3 handsets.

Flipkart has been at the receiving end ever since Xiaomi, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, launched their Mi 3 handset here in India.

Watch: How the Flipkart Xiaomi Mi 3 sale ended in 4 seconds the previous sale.

We did see that Flipkart’s sale page was showing differences in the sale countdown timer. The clock on the user’s browser is not synchronized with the Flipkart server, and hence there were many people who saw the ‘Out of stock’ banner immediately after they clicked on ‘Buy’ after the countdown timer ended.

Many said the sale is a scam, but the reality is that Flipkart has been receiving just small batches of handsets for every sale.

Till date, Flipkart has received just 55,000 handsets to serve their 3-lakh-plus Mi 3 fans for the four flash sales this far. Flipkart's servers did get a bashing again today with 20,000 handsets vanishing within a few seconds of the gates opening.

Today, Flipkart and Xiaomi will receive yet another disgusting feedback from almost 80,000 plus customers waiting at the gates to book their Xiaomi Mi 3 handsets.

Since the sale for 20,000 Xiaomi Mi 3 handsets disappeared at 2 PM today, there are going to be unsatisfied customers all over again.
