>These avg Joe will not have 'Delhivery accounts' to ship. EBay is for infrequent non traditional online sellers.
Did you ever try? A lot of web shops are being run in India by average Joe now, sometimes take a look at Google shopping tab.
Signing up for delivery business account is not smth you need much for, anyone can sign-up and start today.
Okay so you don't want to sign up for Delhivery account, sign up for ShipRocket (it's just an account sign-up like any website). Upload your shipment dimension and they'll arrange pickup and deliver your goods.
>but I know that they in their dreams will not use eBay if it was there in India.
They'll depending on what they are selling if they are selling consumer goods, they can sign up with Amazon but if they are selling smth more niche, they'll benefit greatly from product discovery that comes with a website like eBay, unless they've a recognizable brand and enough money to spend on advertisement and marketing a guy with an eBay account can get a lot of sales.
Honestly most guys will will not be shipping 50kg item from get go. To ship small 1 or 2 kg item they can approach nearest courier service and if they've a few of these Packets, courier offers pickup from your premise.
For small packets, price variation among different courier providers isn't much to fuss about. Only at higher weight levels, the delhivery/safe express standout from the competition.
So here's the process:
1. Sign up for ShipRocket
2. Pack your goods and wait for it to be picked up and delivered
How can we make it easier than this? Next step is only that a courier company reads your mind and picksup unpacked goods, pack it and deliver it to customers using teleportation. There isn't room for making it easier than this, just saying.
A person who can't be bothered to do is, has any place in business? What he deserves to make money for if he can't given do this.
I am a guy from a small city near Delhi with not much resources and I still manage to ship goods and make good money that I left my job, if I can do it, anyone can.
- achow 5y agoThanks for this detailed reply. Much appreciated because I learned a thing or two. > Did you ever try? No, not Delhivery kind of specialised courier. But in USA I was eBay user. I was an ordinary bloke with 9-5 job, and used to sell excess stuff (old gadget which I want to upgrade from), shipping charges were major part of the transaction and my endeavour was to minimize it - ended up using US postal service quite a few times.
- wolfretcrap 5y ago>Delhivery kind of specialised courier. Here I am talking about the domestic courier service not shipping to US for international shipping I agree we are still behind. I also have export import business where I sell Chinese goods into US and India. Many times in small towns Amazon routes its fullfiled by Amazon shipments to Delhivery. Hardly any ecomerce service is using India Post now, most small packets are through XpressBees and Delhivery. Rest are through Amazon and Flipkarts own logistics like ATS and Ekart respectively
