It was my sister who introduced me to online shopping. When I was studying MA… I was looking for a
book but couldn’t find it at any physical store I knew. My sister found it was available on Flipkart and
ordered it. Since then whenever I need a book, I check for it on flipkart, first. As a lazy butt, getting a
book delivered to your doorstep feels great, and so I have been hooked to online shopping, especially
for books.
Till date, all my book orders from Flipkart have been on time and trouble-free, except once when I had
order a new book but had got a second-hand. But that was the seller’s fault I think, and when I
demanded an exchange, flipkart promptly replaced it without hassle.
Apart from books, I and my sister have bought other things too from flipkart… bags, jackets, even a
mobile phone. In case of the phone, I had earlier ordered the phone on eBay because it was priced less
there. But eBay cancelled my order after 3 days because the seller did not ship the item on time… then I
ordered from Amazon, but Amazon also cancelled the order after 3 days stating a stupid reason that my
address was undeliverable(I mean then why take the order at all!). The real reason I think was the
phone had gone out of stock. Finally, my sister ordered it for me from Flipkart. Although they had given
a 1 week delivery time, it arrived within 3 days!
For me, online shopping from Flipkart has always been a good experience with only small hiccups like
slight delay in delivery of some orders.
