We have two prices for each product, namely Regular Price and Combo Price. Regular Price: Regular Price is applicable till the time there is only one item in your shopping cart. Combo Price: The moment there are more than one item in your shopping cart, automatically the site forms a combo of these two or more items as chosen by you (called Auto Combo). And then the price applicable on all items is combo price which is lower of the two prices. Since we save on logistics if you have more than one item in your order, we share the savings with you.

What is AutoCombo?

As soon as you purchase more than one item, an Automatic Combo is formed. That is, the price applicable on the products selected by you are the Combo prices (which are the lower prices), so with AutoCombo there is auto saving for you. We save on logistics and so we share it with you. No need to compromise with fixed combos available on some sites.
