Flipkart and other e-commerce website stopped delivering products as soon as the lockdown was imposed in India. The companies did start delivering essentials in-between, but smartphone buyers have been eagerly waiting for this COVID-19 lockdown to end. While the coronavirus lockdown is set to end on May 3, the government has allowed some services to begin starting April 20.
Taking advantage of the new government policies, Flipkart is now gearing up to start deliveries of mobile phones across India starting April 20. However, the e-commerce giant will still not be able to make deliveries to West Bengal and Karnataka for now.
Flipkart has posted a new banner on its Android and iOS app ensuring users that they can soon start placing orders for new smartphones. While users can already start buying the smartphones available on the website and app, the delivery will only begin from April 20. The e-commerce giant is currently offering smartphones from limited brands including Apple, Samsung, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi.
Also, right now only Flipkart shows the option to buy smartphones on the app as well as the website. This means that Amazon could also follow soon.
