Amazon.in launches One-Day Delivery service in major Indian cities

After tying up with India Post to conduct pilot delivery tests across the country, Amazon.in has announced the availability of a One-Day Delivery service now. The offer is valid for items “fulfilled by Amazon” and is available in most major cities already at a charge of Rs 99 per order.

While not available everywhere and anywhere in India, users residing in select pin codes across cities like Mumbai, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune and Bangalore will be able to make use of this One-Day Delivery offer. At the time of check-out, users can select the option and have goods delivered to them the very next day.
