Instead of having separate or own accounts and maintain them, retailers can ask their buyers to use Amazon account and get their products delivered using its logistics network and save on overheads.
“On receiving an order from a customer online, merchants (e-retailers) can intimate us to pick up the package and deliver to their customers by our delivery boys,” Agarwal pointed out.
