The E-Vantage

Recently, the world heralded the e-age by celebrating the 40th year of the advent of the internet.
From a modest beginning in the research labs of America, what we have now is nothing short of a Genie of the Arabian nights tales.
A vast resource of everything, an avalanche of information at your fingers tip, e-banking, e-business. It has the good, the bad and the ugly.

The ugly is what used to scare the daylight out of me. Anything involving online cash or credit transactions was a strict No No.
But recently I used a cool e-shopping portal E-grocerymart.com to buy home needs. Actually I was forced and coxed into using it as it happens to be of an acquaintance of mine.
This portal is actually good and to have my grocery needs delivered home and moreover on-time is super na.
And the best part was I paid on delivery :)

Then I scouted around to check portals offering similar services.
But many a things I found different and useful here was
- Save for later option (add on to the list as and when you remember stuff to buy).
- Selection of date and time of delivery of your convenience.
- You can even pick up your order from the store if you so wish. They claim to have your order ready by the pickup time. Need to check this though.
- For people staying abroad, can place order for your loved ones (old parents) who don't wish to be too adventurous and venture to a store.

You can check out e-grocerymart here. Presently the services are available in Bangalore and Hyderabad only.
Well guys, check it out.
