They can now reach to a wider user base via e-commerce portal.
The firm now has 2 fulfillment centers in UP (Lucknow and Ghaziabad) providing close to 150,000 Cubic Feet of storage room for quicker delivery to users in this area. This is one of the seven lately declared fulfillment centers for 2017.

In addition to this, the logistics subsidiary of e-commerce giant Amazon India, Amazon Transportation Services, got a combination of Rs 207 Crore from Amazon Malaysia and Amazon Corporate Holdings Singapore, as per the documents registered with the filings of companies.
This is the 2nd mixture in the company in the last 6 months, since the main company assigned Rs 67 Crore to Amazon Transportation Services in September 2016. The fund mixture comes at an occasion when both Flipkart and Amazon India have leveled up their warehousing and fulfillment network to provide to dedicated lines of business, comprising bulky and heavy groups such as large appliances and furniture, and for their incursion into play and food retail in FMCG.
