On his first experience with ecommerce, Sandip says, \u201cA customer in an offline store will take half an hour to look at the product and decide if they like it, while I get 2-3 orders online in the same time. We now cater to customers beyond Mulund and across Mumbai using our own delivery set up. We are also leveraging Amazon\u2019s pan-India delivery network and are able to serve customers in other cities.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10659 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Amazon-logo-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Amazon-logo-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Amazon-logo.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, Sandeep Shah is one of morethan 50,000 offline retailersand neighbourhood stores on the\u2018Local Shops on Amazon\u2019 program.
