"We are heavily focused on constantly enhancing customer satisfaction. Our three guarantees of being on time - every time, delivery of every item ordered and a no questions asked return policy reassures customers of our commitment to them and drives high performance benchmarks internally. We operate at some of the best service metrics in the world with 99.4% order accuracy and 99% on time delivery," said K B Nagaraju, CEO.
Some customers, like Mr. Chandrashekhar, confess that they were initially apprehensive about the idea of buying fruits and vegetables online. "Their guarantees made me try it out, and it worked well. We love their 'no questions asked return policy', we can return anything we don't like and they replace it for us, it makes shopping safe and easy," he added.
bigbasket is known to have seen a surge in demand ever since they roped Shah Rukh Khan as their brand ambassador.
Mrs. Gayatri Sirisha, a working mother and a customer of bigbasket said, "I recently moved into the city and saw their ads, they got it delivered in 60 minutes, and it was easier than having to drive through unknown traffic or stand in long queues."
bigbasket delivers in two ways - one from where customers can choose from four delivery slots in day and second is an express model where customers get their daily items within 120 minutes. They recently launched a specialty store marketplace service, which caters to those customers who tend to prefer to buy certain products from a local shop or a particular brand.
