A commercial for the
all new Funschool Pop up pirate intercepted the Dora and Boots adventure. I
knew what coming up next.. Mom I want this! Christmas is around and since he
has been such a good boy all year I think he has earned this one. We quickly
get the tablet. Firstly check out the reviews online. “It looks fun Ma”, he says. Now for the troubling
part. To find out the damage. With the FunSchool label I assumed it was a 1000
upwards. But I was in for a sweet surprise. It was available on Flipkart for a
steal at 640. Plus free shipping… Into
the cart it went and we await for the little men in blue to come baring our
pirate.
Am a chronic deal
hunter.. so shopping online for me is a sheer rush. Especially when it comes to
buying toys online. I’ve scored some great knock off’s on Thomas tracks, hot
wheel cars, tons of reading material, fun worksheets, his scooter, a wave board, a minion backpack
are only a few of the things from our online shopping haul of 2015. One of it
was bought on a full price. Trying getting the same deal on your local store.
I love the comfort of shopping
on the go. I not only have a hassle free shopping experience, but return too
are a breeze. For the last three years that I’ve been a FlipKart shopper I’ve
returned a few products and the pickup is quick and the refunds are efficiently
reverted. Try doing that at the local
store.. he will ask you to come again cause the returns are only accepted
between 12-4, he announces smugly pointing at a dainty sign.
You shop at the mall
you say.. firstly parking is not only expensive but finding a spot on a weekend
is a whole other challenge. As you enter the store with the product you are
expected to get a gate pass.. which is a painfully slow process. Then get it
checked at the customer service counter on another floor altogether. Where they
generate a credit note, make you sign the register. This credit note if not
used instantly will most definitely be lost. In this fast paced world id rather
spend quality time doing something I love rather than spending time in long checkout
ques.
E-commerce has come a
long way and FlipKart has been instrumental in changing the shopping scene of
India. I remember its humble beginnings as
an online book store and to growing into one of the largest ecommerce website
in the country. It has truly redefined they way be buy.
On 19th December
I was at the Indiblogger & Flipkart Bloggers meet @BlueFrog, where they announced the launch
of their official kids store i.e. Flipkart kids. We address a lot of issues from
getting more variety to maintain safety standards. Am a true Flipkart shopper
and can’t wait to see what’s in stored for
the mommy in me..
