The Bombay Store, Now Online!

May 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Mumbai, April 19, 2010: The Bombay Store today announced the launch of its online shopping portal. The Iconic century old store has long since been a favourite destination of shoppers and tourists looking for genuine Indian products with a promise of quality and value for money. The Bombay store has also been a favourite for corporate and individuals looking at gifting ideas and this extension of their business makes it convenient for the customers to make purchases in the comfort of their home or office. Most recently The Bombay Store has been recognized and highly recommended as a must see destination store by the International Traveller’s Guide “Lonely Planet”,  travel portal such as tripadvisor.com and many such well known websites.

With a simple login process and secure transaction gateway the website serves five categories range of products available at The Bombay store. Merchandise can be selected and paid for either through credit card. Payment gateway integration, for accepting credit cards online, is through ICICI gateway which is 128-bit encrypted and very secured.  Though one cannot touch and feel the products, every product is well displayed with adequate information that describes the product in totality leaving no room for doubt. The Bombay Store website http://www.thebombaystore.com/ is user friendly and carries the same warmth and gives the same feel to the customers as an offline store provides.

The customers can choose products ranging from artefacts and Gifts to Tableware, Fashion and Wellness items. Gift Certificates with various denominations will also be available on the website.  However the certificates would have to be redeemed at the store physically.  

The customers can track their order status by logging into their account. The delivery of the products will be done at the door steps in 6-8 days anywhere across India.

Speaking about the launch, Mr. Asim Dalal, Managing Director, The Bombay Store says, “At the Bombay Store, we strive to offer our customers the best products with superior service and shopping experience. While a major percentage of sales come from in-store purchase, there is also a huge segment of customers who, while willing, are unable to do so due to time constraints or location issues. We are sure that our online shopping portal will give them the convenience and experience that has become synonymous with The Bombay Store.”

He further added, “International visitors comprise approximately 25% of our sales and since they mostly are on visit or tour in India their repeat purchases for gifting or home were restricted. We are certain that the launch of our web store would give them the convenience and pleasure of shopping at The Bombay store anytime and from anywhere in the world”.
