Jang Media Group has announced this “Great Online Shopping Festival (GOSF.live)” on 28th, 29th and 30th of September, 2016. Google, that claims to have no existence in Pakistan, is somehow made the part of the festival in an incomprehensible manner.
With no employees in Pakistan and no on-ground activities, it is wondered how and why Google was made part of the festival.
Not to mention, GOSF is originally a Google brand that it created for similar shopping festivals in India, Singapore, Sri Lanka and other markets.
For Pakistan, however, they are hiding behind Jang Group and conducting same kind of festival that they have done previously in other markets.

Jazz Cash is payment partner for the event.
the prices are BS!
looks like the website is created by a 10 year old kid.
Interestingly Daraz was rejected in this event as they tried to Hijack it by being the only retailer and now they are partnered with EasyPaisa. Deals are much better than daraz
i am not sure about the quality of these products these e-commerce websites are offering here! Google is here for once in a year for this event and by any means they will make sure that this event goes good but the websites they have in this event are mainly new and they may have quality issues for sure!
I do not know how good these online sales are from new retailers. I would shop at some reliable online retailer.
Looking at these deals of the new retailers makes me doubt the quality of these products. I’d rather shop at Daraz knowing that my money won’t be wasted.
honestly, i tried using it, i believe its not finished as yet as it had numerous errors .. Also, i found it a bit confusing to use as compared to daraz.pk offering recently. Simple works i believe. GOSF should work more on their strategy and core.
