Flipkart has expanded its hyperlocal service, Flipkart Quick, to six new cities: Delhi, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Noida, Hyderabad and Pune. The company expects to introduce this service in other metros and cities gradually this year. The hyperlocal delivery service offers a variety of more than 3.000 products in categories such as fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats, groceries, mobiles, electronics and baby care. Flipkart Quick allows consumers to place orders online and have them delivered within the next 90 minutes or even book a two-hour time slot, depending on their convenience.
Free delivery on first order and orders over Rs 499
As a reminder, Flipkart Quick was launched in Bangalore in 2020 to expand the accessibility of the product and enable fast delivery. “Hyperlocal capabilities are invaluable in enhancing the online shopping experience for consumers and boosting supply chain operations for e-commerce companies,” said Sandeep Karwa, Vice President of Flipkart. "It is important to explore ecosystem partnerships to build these capabilities and accelerate faster, reliable deliveries to customers." Flipkart Quick leverages the company's investment in Ninjacart and strategic partnerships with other local providers. Shadowfax, the company's strategic logistics partner, will play an important role in enabling last-mile deliveries for Flipkart Quick. Customers get free shipping on their first order, and if their subsequent order size is over Rs 499. Consumers will also have the option to place orders at any time of the day and receive them between 6 am and midnight.
