E-commerce marketplace Amazon has launched one day delivery service in India for orders from Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Pune. Customers in Mumbai and Pune can place orders as late as midnight to receive items next day as per the new service, but the cut-off time to place orders under this offer is currently 3.00 pm for customers in other pin codes. It also has a guaranteed two day delivery service for which it charges Rs 49 as part of a limited period offer and will charge Rs 79 eventually. It also needs to be noted that Amazon offers free delivery for orders irrespective of the value of the product ordered as of now, but plans to charge Rs 49 for orders lower than Rs 499 in the future.

The shipping should be free and the prices are not that competitive compared others in the e-commerce market.

One day shipping in U.S also cost more. There is no competition as far as I know in India for one day shipping. IMO this service should be cost more.

But unfortunately the city Kolkata is out of this system.It seems that this city is relegated to III-tier city or it does not exist at all.
This is a misfortune on our part...
