Online product prices shouldn't be more than the in-store price.


When I order online, I notice that grocery prices have increased. Why is this so? The company charges extra for services, including service charge taxes, product price taxes, delivery fees, delivery tips, and sometimes more. Then why do they need to raise the product price? For example, if I order a tray of 12 eggs, the price is $3 when I buy in person, but I have to pay a total of $12 with all charges online.

Who mostly orders online? Disabled individuals, elderly people, and busy professionals. Thus, those with lower incomes are actually paying more.

All product prices should be the same, whether purchased online or in-store. If extra charges are necessary, the reasons should be clearly stated in the receipt, including the amount of the additional charges and their justifications.

All charges should be clearly detailed and then applied to consumers.

Now, please don't raise in-store prices to align with online prices. Grocery owners seem reluctant to miss any opportunity to increase product prices. By the end of the year, they often make profits three or four times higher than the previous year. When consumers' purchasing power declines, it impacts all businesses in the country. More and more companies are closing their doors.

Eid is coming


Shefeen took cloths for his mom


All Muslims, especially children always wait for the Eid, the big occasion in their life. But mostly business men wait for this occasion, in Bangladesh. In other part of the world, for Eid all prices goes down, business men give their product in fewer prices. Not in Muslim world, in other occasion of other religious people, like Christmas, Chinese New Year etc, all gives discounts and free products. But Bangladeshi businessmen didn’t believe in fewer prices, they only know, how it increase on every matter. If new budget are coming, increase the price, if flood came, increase the price, especially if Eid comes then do all year profit in one month.
