Our Story

Shipping Industry is an essential part of E-commerce these days and is the one that needed a change . All the team members were interested in the idea as it was very unique and untouched So basically Arun was Surfing the Internet and found a very useful video on youtube that demonstrated the environmental effects two day shipping has on the environment and needed to change . So while pondering on these issues we all sat down and came up with the idea of green shipping option that will provide an alternative option for shipping to the users. Another main reason behind the idea was the lack of awareness , users never even gave a thought before choosing the shipping options and were unaware of the ill-effects it has on the Environment So the next biggest challenge was how to attract users was that that why would anyone go for the green shipping option express shipping is available . We came up with the plan to provide the users the information about how much are they contributing towards saving the environment , which will motivate more and more people to get into green shipping .

Think wise, Choose GREENER option!
