Drums please !

India to be launch pad for Amazon's plan to deliver packages using drones; deliveries may start by Diwali

Bangalore and Mumbai are target cities.

I think it will be shot down because of security concerns though.

Amazon had started off deliveries by drones in US sometime back I guess. Had seen it in their US website last year or so.

Drones? Awaiting the first accident.

Quite innovative. But what if the drone gets stolen along with the package that is to be delivered!! Would Amazon be responsible if the drone falls out of mid air due to controls/motor malfunction?

I believe pizzas are being delivered in some parts of Bombay using a drone. It was featured on tv a couple of weeks back, on 'Tech Guru' IIRC.

May be the drone did fly and since it was without any permission the pizza outlet settled and police closed the case calling it hoax

Though it is a grey area in India still as no law exists to distinguish between a "drone" and toy RC plane using 2.4 GHZ ISM band.

And anyone else noticed this?

I purchased Formula 1 Wash and Wax from www.autofresh.in recently.
I also bought Meguiars Deodoriser and Rainex from this site.
.Products arrived in good condition.

This is interesting.The same product is available at two different price points on the two websites.

http://www.autotrends.in/formula-1-c...x-shampoo.html

http://www.autofresh.in/exterior-car...420-8223417740

Any suggestions which one is all right? Experiences?

I ordered three items from Pepperfry about three weeks ago.

One arrived amazingly quickly. The second, I lodged a complaint and it (coincidentally?) arrived the next day, and the third is not even despatched yet, and I logged a complaint about that.

I had no answers to either of my complaints.

2/3rds not-good experience.

Some context? What was the item (FK link if you can)? If they have 100 units of some item and > 100 orders, they sometimes might have to cancel a few orders.

It's crap! All customers getting an equal opportunity? Nothing equal about your opportunity!

Flipkart promised to revolutionise internet shopping in India with good products and good service, now they just play stupid games.
