Snapdeal offers same-day delivery

Snapdeal.com has launched a same day delivery service which will allow consumers to get products ordered from Snapdeal to be delivered on the same day. All orders booked by or before 1PM will be attempted to be delivered on same day, Snapdeal said.

The move comes a month after Amazon India announced a next-day-delivery scheme in Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Pune.

Snapdeal is offering this service in Delhi-NCR and will soon be expanding this service to other cities such as Mumbai and Bangalore. Snapdeal.com will not charge extra for the express delivery option.

Speaking about this launch, Saurabh Goyal, VP- Supply Chain Operations at Snapdeal.com said, “With the increasing competition in e-commerce space, delivery has become an essential factor after price. Keeping up with our company motto of providing the widest assortment of goods and the best services we have managed to evolve our supply chain system to such an extent that we can now offer this service with ease.”

Snapdeal is considered to be among the top two online retail sites in India, along with Flipkart. Both companies use logistics services providers such as Bluedart to make deliveries.
