The last two month have brought a
lot of things for me including the salary (twice :p). New job and salary has
made me a kind of an online shopping freak.
First the good things and where
else to start but Flipkart, so ordered Speakers from Flipkart and guess what
got them in less than 48 hours. When it comes to books it got even better,
ordered Jeffrey Archer’s False Impressions in the evening and got them in the
afternoon next day. So obviously I’m in love with Flipkart for their delivery.
And best part is yet to come, it’s called PACKAGING. I mean it took me at least
20 minutes and I finally had to rip it open. I think when the nuclear war happens;
I’m going to hide in Flipkart packaging. It is actually that good.
Then came Myntra, I was totally
taken aback by the 24 hour dispatch. I’ve no idea how they do it, but it’s
awesome to see their delivery speed.
Now comes the worst part. Ordered
an iPod dock from snapdeal on 1st of this month, snapdeal promised
to deliver it by 8th (estimated delivery date). Ok, after through
the two awesome experiences mentioned above, this seemed like eternity. And to
top it, they send me a message on 7th that they can’t deliver it on
8th and conveniently changed the estimated delivery date to 11th
without giving any proper reason or mentioning any kind of compensation for
that.
There goes the awesome online shopping
experience for a toss. You see a product, you fall in love with it, wait for an
eternity and then you’re told to wait more. I hope if someone from snapdeal is reading
this, he really do look at what is wrong with their logistics, because so much
of waiting period is simply unacceptable in today’s online shopping. As for
other, happy shopping (online)
