Buying electronics in Dhaka: reading offers before you pay

Electronics are where offers matter most, because a small percentage is a large amount of money. They are also where the terms matter most.

Special price vs discount

A special price is a fixed selling price. It may or may not be lower than the usual price, so compare it with other shops. A discount is a reduction from a stated regular price.

EMI offers

EMI lets you pay in monthly instalments through a bank card. "0% EMI" means no interest, but check for a processing fee and which banks and tenures are included.

Payment-method discounts

Some electronics offers apply only when you pay with bKash or a particular bank card, and most have a maximum saving. See the bKash electronics offers page for live offers.

Before you pay

• Confirm the exact model and storage or size in the offer.
• Ask about warranty: it comes from the merchant or manufacturer, not the offer.
• Keep the receipt and the offer terms.
