Recently i came across the joy of buying things online. For giving a try i ordered books. One from the very global site ebay.in and the other on indian online book store flipkart.com.
So here is my review for this indian startup.
1. Website. The website www.flipkart.com is very simple by looks and very user friendly. The first time sign up form is too simple just asking for email id and password. Even searching and selecting the title for buying is very simple. One can add number of books in shopping cart and can pay for all in single turn. One can change the mailing address or can use one of the old one used. So no need to write the mailing address each time you buy a new book or other item.
Provides various online payment options of different banks.
2.Delivery. Flipkart really scores for its delivery timing. For each order one places they provide an estimated time of delivery like 2-3 business days etc. And they are true about their commitment.I got my order shipped to me within 24Hrs. They are using reputed courier services and their own delivery boys for shipping of products. They provide all the credentials for tracking the shipment.
As i am living in Delhi i got my consignment delivered by their Self Delivery System.
They provide free delivery for orders more than Rs100 otherwise Rs30 as delivery charge.
3.Value for Money. As far as the cost of book is concerned Flikart is providing great discounts on the printed price.I buyed a book with printed price Rs150 for just Rs105. And the very most important thing they delivered it to my house free of cost. So no need to go to shop. So one saves time,money and unnecessary wandering in book shops.
4.Books. The condition of book is very nice. They are providing genuine things in reasonable price. The packaging of book was excellent and it takes a lot of effort to take out the book out of that package. Earlier i thought the book would be of lower quality as they were giving such discounts but i was wrong and i am happy for that.
All and all i recommend others to give a try to Flipkart.com and i am sure you will love it.
