Following the footsteps of its parent company, Amazon India today announced the availability of a guaranteed ‘One-Day Delivery’ service for items fulfilled by Amazon in select pin codes across several Indian cities. These cities include Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Pune.
Customers in eligible pin codes can now choose ‘One-Day Delivery’ at the time of checkout and can get next-day delivery service by placing the orders before the cut off time. Customers in Mumbai and Pune can place orders as late as midnight to receive items next day. For other pin codes the cut-off time to place orders under this offer is currently 3.00 pm.
"Customers globally appreciate fast and reliable delivery experience. Today, we are excited to introduce the convenience and assurance of Amazon’s One-Day Guaranteed Delivery to customers in India within six months of our launch. We will continue to expand the service to more pin codes and cities, and extend the benefit to even more customers across India,” said Amit Agarwal, Vice President and Country Manager, Amazon India.
‘One Day Delivery’ guarantee is applicable for items that are fulfilled by Amazon at a charge of Rs 99 per order, and requires no minimum order value. Orders placed with ‘One-Day Delivery’ service are guaranteed to be delivered the next business day excluding Sundays and public holidays. Amazon.in will automatically refund shipping charges if orders are not received by the promised day.
