Hey Girls,
Today’s review is not about any
makeup product but a online shopping website. I had a wonderful experience
shopping with Violetbag. Here’s a bit
about the Violetbag, in their own words.

Not comfortable using your cards
online?

Team
Bringing your VioletBag to you is a
self-driven and committed team of IIT/IIM graduates who founded VioletBag.com
after having built another flourishing ecommerce startup. In addition to their
experience in eCommerce, the VioletBag team, after successful career stints in
leading companies, brings in expertise from areas like technology, product
development, operations, finance and marketing. As is evident from their
diverse backgrounds, each team member brings a unique set of capabilities to
the table. As a group, they have valued these differences and have encouraged
each other to question, create and experiment in their pursuit of excellence.
However, the inimitable strength of the team lies in each individual’s ability
to work independently and in their ability to build things from scratch. A deep
sense of ownership has resulted in considerable throughput during the initial
phases of development and roll-out; and as they go forward, it is their aim to
continue building on these values and strengths in new members as well as
within the organization.
My Experience with VioletBag
First of
all, I really liked the name VioletBag. It’s quite catchy and unique. Isn’t
it ? Quite like their brand name, they
provide a wonderful shopping experience. VioletBag is quite user friendly, easy
to navigate. All one has to do is to select the product, add it to the shopping
bag, make payment and provide your shipping details. Voila, you are done.
VioletBag claims that orders shall be received within 3-5 working days.
Absolutely True.
Here's a small breakup of how my order reached me:
Thursday -
Order Placed, SMS and email received within few minutes.
Friday - SMS
and email confirming shipping of order.
Sunday -
Order Received.

more features of VioletBag
Navigation and User Friendly
The website is quite easy to navigate and the
procedure for placing order itself is quite simple and easy. You can place the order in just few clicks
Huge number of Brands
The
product range includes a large variety of brands and products to choose from.
VioletBag are also the first shopping portal I came across which houses
products from The Body Shop. Needless, to say, I got their much acclaimed
exfoliating gloves. Their collection of
perfumes and fragrances is simply mind-blowing. Have a look at their range of Fragrances.
Product
Packaging and Shipment
The goods were delivered in a pretty violet
box which was sealed with plastic from outside. Inside, each and every single
item was bubbled wrapped and the left out space in the box was stuffed with Styrofoam
cubes to avoid any damage during shipment. Every product came in perfect
condition without any damage. I was a bit concerned about a lip pencil I
ordered but it also arrived unharmed. So, if you are ogling at your favourite
perfume but sceptical to buy it fearing breakage, don’t hesitate. I am pretty
much confident it will arrive safely.
