Flipkart today introduced “Same-Day Guarantee”, a service wherein the e-commerce site will deliver any goods you order on the same day. One only needs to place an order before 12:00PM and pay an additional charge of Rs 140. However, this is a limited period offer till April 30 and the terms indicate the eventual price could be Rs 200 for the service.
Flipkart has launched this service in select cities including Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Kolkata, Manesar, Navi Mumbai and Thane. The company also guarantees that they will deliver the order before 9:00PM, and in case they fail to do so, any product ordered (worth up to Rs 5,000) will be given for free. The amount will be refunded to your account as Flipkart redeem points and you can use them on your future purchases at Flipkart.
Earlier this year, Flipkart announced “next-day shipping” in select cities for an additional charge of Rs 90. This was introduced almost a week after Amazon India launched a similar service.
The e-commerce industry in India is set to reach $70 billion in the next six years, and though Flipkart is currently the clear winner, Amazon India has gone head-to-head since its launch in the country. Both the portals have announced a host of new services, with the later recently roping in local kiranas to act as pickup points, introducing Self Service Registration (SSR) for sellers and also launching a project called Amazon Pickup in Mumbai and Delhi in partnership with BPCL.
