I just love this website. Since long time I was looking for a Indian website which will give me power to order the books which I keep looking at Amazon and do not order due to various reasons. Although Amazon rocks with its reviews and gives lot of confidence when buying a book.Flipkart has changed the scene with lot of books available, both Indian and International Edition. When I first used their service I smelled Amazon :) ..Well later in a magazine I read that both the founders had a small stint @ Amazon :).
What I like :
- Intuitive website design
- Good collection of books, both Indian and International authors.
- Get to order a book which is recently released Internationally
- Super fast delivery - almost got all my orders till date within 3 days of order placed
- Good packing in bubble wrap
- Cash on Delivery option : This is something everybody will love as you not get bothered by Internet Payments.
- Good search mechanism
- Free delivery of books
What needs improvement:
- Make website design with less clutter
- Special attention to Book Reviews and Book view page should have less Ads!
- Please give Bookmarks with all books :)
- Need to have star rating on book reviews
- Give more discounts on International Editions!
Overall the idea rocks!. I am sure they will go long way with their innovation and offer more discounts on international editions to have more buyers! I have not used their other items which they sell too like Mobiles, gifts etc.
I wish they can also influence some International publishers to publish Indian Editions of books available outside India.
I wish them good luck!
