Flipkart introduces its hyperlocal service ‘Flipkart Quick’ to offer quick deliveries

Walmart-owned Flipkart announced the launch of its hyperlocal delivery service ‘Flipkart Quick’ that will enable customers to receive groceries, fresh vegetables, meat and mobile phones in 90 minutes.

Flipkart Quick will provide consumers with an assortment of more than 2,000 products in categories varying from grocery, fresh produce, dairy, meat, mobile phones, electronics accessories, stationery items and home accessories in the first phase.

Consumers can choose to order in the next 90 minutes or book a 2-hour slot as per their convenience, and the orders get delivered between 6 am to midnight with a minimum delivery fee of Rs 29.

“The service will be available in select locations in Bengaluru initially and gradually scaled up and expanded to six large cities by the end of the year,” Flipkart Vice-President Sandeep Karwa told PTI. He further stated that the company will also partner with chains of local stores in various cities that focus on quality and service standards.

In the past few months, Flipkart has tied up with retail chains like Spencers and Vishal Mega Mart to enable hyperlocal deliveries of groceries and essentials in various cities.

Flipkart will also leverage its partnerships with companies like Ninjacart and Shadowfax for the service.

Flipkart Quick will debut in Bengaluru in select locations, including Whitefield, Panathur, HSR Layout, BTM Layout, Banashankari, KR Puram and Indiranagar.
