Unboxing a Parcel Delivered by Flipkart

The Flipkart online store, which potentially could be the future Amazon of India, began in 2007.

TechNonStop's review on Flipkart was aimed at highlighting some reasons for its success and continued promise.

In this article, I'll provide a photo based review of their parcel delivery, by unboxing a Philips Citrus Press HR2775 Juice Extractor that I ordered recently.

Outer Flipkart Box

The outer carton could have been a little more sturdy. It was slightly damaged.

Bubble Wrap

The bubble wrap around the inner box was mostly intact, though the packing could have been a little more neat.

The inner box was damaged from one corner, but pretty intact.

Condition of Juice Extractor

The juice extractor was in perfect working condition!

I'd rate my overall experience with the delivered Flipkart parcel as satisfactory.

However, the packaging needs to be improved. Flipkart uses its own network to deliver goods to customers, and if it has to deal with higher demand while still ensuring fast delivery time – my juicer arrived in an impressive 3 working days – greater attention must be directed to this aspect to avoid the possibility of damage in transit.

Have you recently shopped online with Flipkart? Were you satisfied with your experience? What are your thoughts about shopping on the Internet? Please feel free to comment!

I have only just come across Flipkart, after reading a later article of yours: http://technonstop.com/amazon-junglee-vs-flipkart-india - it looks a very interesting service.

Any ideas what sort of delivery network they have going? In other words, how many orders would it take for them to be overwhelmed? Usually with a company having their own delivery network, it can be all to easy to get a backlog of orders, it would be interesting to see how they are going about it, if it's a long-term thing, and if they plan on switching to a courier later down the line.

The founder of Flipkart Sachin Bansal recently stated that they ship nearly 30,000 items a day, and that's a huge number for an online shopping portal that has its own courier network. I'm not sure when they might end up being overstretched, but as far as my experience is concerned, they've been mostly quick and very professional.

But this may not be the same everywhere across the country, and maintaining a pleasant experience for their users is a key challenge for them.

Thank you for your comment! Here are my views about the juice extractor:

The juicer is good at what it does. It's only a citrus juicer, and given the design of the cone, it is suitable for extracting juice from fruits like sweet lime, oranges and pomegranates.

Pros

  • Easy to operate
  • Clear indication of quantity
  • Adjustable to allow greater amount of fruit fiber into the juice

Cons

  • Low-pitched grinding noise when extra pressure is applied.
  • The filters are time-consuming to clean.
  • The level of sturdiness is a slight disappointment.

Conclusion: The Philips Citrus Press HR2775 is a good deal considering its price.
