Postman to bring your Amazon order same day
BENGALURU: The postman will now deliver your Amazon orders a tad faster. From April 6, he'll be at your doorstep the same day that you place the order. The Karnataka Postal Circle has collaborated with the e-commerce major to deliver shipments to all Bengaluru PIN codes. They'll be handed over to the Amazon booking centre at 10am and delivered to respective addresses through nodal delivery centres by 8pm.
Union minister for communication and IT Ravi Shankar Prasad inaugurated the service on Thursday. At present, the postal circle is booking about one lakh e-commerce consignments at an average value of Rs 2 crore a month. To cater to growing needs, a nodal e-commerce business centre with a built-up area of 5,000 sqft was inaugurated by the minister via video conference. The facility in Yelahanka, 17 km en route to KIA, enjoys good air connectivity and is accessible to e-tailers's warehouses.
"With the Yelahanka facility and a few more expected in the current financial year, the consignments will grow to an assured volume of 5 lakh at an average value of Rs 10 crore per month," said MS Ramanujan, chief postmaster general, Karnataka Circle.
