India Today
Amazon and Flipkart have begun to stock up their inventories for the upcoming Republic day sales. As the sale is set to take place early this year, possibly starting January 16.
In the wake of rising coronavirus cases, Amazon and Flipkart have preponed their Republic day sales. This year the sale will take place 4-5 days earlier than the usual schedule. Executives of the companies said that the change in schedule is mostly due to the restrictions which have, in turn, impacted the supply chain and delivery timelines.
It is reported that the two e-commerce giants have stocked up their inventory and are getting ready for the sale that will now begin around January 16-17. To recall, the Republic Day sale took place around January 20-22 and lasted 3-4 days. However, this time the sale will run longer than usual, an Economic Times report said.
