The latest one being Yepme. The ads
were bombarded, and then a few
friends bought from them too. So,
came the sponsored posts. What got
me to bite was their prices.
Everything seemed to be below five
hundred bucks. I was more curious
than interested in shoes that came
for Rs.499. They didn’t look bad.
They must have hired good
designers. So, these are sensitive,
smart people. So, how bad can the
products be….on and on I thought
before succumbing to the temptation.
Yepme has a reasonable user
interface and good product
photographs. They are not critical
factors but add to the confidence
that one needs to place an order. I
selected a decent pair and ordered.
Payment
As always, I paid in advance with
credit card. Many will advise against
it, but I have somehow gotten used
to it. There was an added incentive
too – 25% discount on paying
online. They hand out massive deals
just like that, that too on very cheap
products! They also have other
payment delivery systems, such as
cash on delivery etc.
Order Confirmation
There are no delivery estimations
based on pin code as other sites
have done. Their delivery is handled
by Delhivery logistics, with which I
don’t have a great experience.
Thankfully, this time, there were no
issues. There is a order tracking
page on the site but it’s better
tracked from the Delhivery site.
The order showed processing for 2
days but was delivered within 6
days. Not the fastest these days, this
was around Christmas, so will give
them the benefit of doubt
