Customers looking to make a purchase can place their orders any time of the day and get their orders delivered between 6 AM to 12 AM. The company will charge a minimum delivery fee of Rs 29.
Customers as of now can choose to order in the next 90 minutes or they can book a 2-hour delivery slot.
Flipkart will first debut its Quick service in select locations in Bengaluru. These select locations include Whitefield, Panathur, HSR Layout, BTM Layout, Banashankari, KR Puram and Indiranagar.

The company will use a latitude and longitude approach instead of its traditional model of using a pin-code system to identify the delivery location. This will help the company speed up the last mile process and deliver with more accuracy and lower chances of mismatch or re-attempts.
