Flipkart was always a "marketplace" and not a retailer. It was founded by ex-Amazon guys. It takes your order, and hands it over to a partnering retailer closest to your location, who is then obliged to ship fast. Sometimes there are more than one retailer close to you, in which case, they'll give you their quotes, and make you pick the best one.
anyway how have you been? ive been really busy with final year and stuff . havent been online in ages!
