Order Fulfilment, Stocking & Shipping Service For Online Merchants
Order fulfilment is the whole process, which starts from the point of sales inquiry to delivery of a product to the customer. Right from the website UI to the warehouse efficiency, everything is tested in order fulfilment.
From a seller’s point of view, the better the fulfilment, the higher the sales. It is not enough for online retail sites to just be a bridge between sellers and buyers. In fact, to survive in the market it has become a necessity for them to start making sure that the orders coming through their portals are fulfilled correctly.
So which companies have the best order fulfilment plans? Flipkart or Amazon or Snapdeal?
Flipkart Advantage
The Flipkart Advantage badge is a hard to miss sight on the website as customers are assured that they can return the product in 30 days if dissatisfied.
Merchants having Flipkart Advantage will be able to stock their products at Flipkart’s warehouses even before the order is placed. Once the order is placed, quality checks, packing and shipping will be Flipkart’s responsibility.
Thus, the merchant will be eligible for Same Day Delivery and Next Day Delivery options, along with the 30-day return policy and order tracking capabilities.
Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA)
