Many people are confused about the online shopping scenario at this point. Several people have many questions in their mind like When will Flipkart delivery be available and will Flipkart deliver after lockdown or will Flipkart deliver now, etc. For all the people wondering about when will Flipkart delivery be available, the online shopping portal can start the delivery of non-essential goods like electronics, mobile phones, clothing, etc. from April 20, 2020.
The government had restricted the e-commerce firms to deliver only essential goods such as food, groceries and medical supplies. Therefore, the delivery of these goods was operational currently.
