Description:
From 2011, Ajkerdeal.com Ltd. has been known as one of the leading B2C online marketplace
in Bangladesh. The founder and CEO of the company Mr. Fahim Mashroor has always focused
on customer satisfaction. Throughout their journey of 8 years, they not only earned the trust of
8 million customers but also earned the love of the sellers. The company currently has more
than 0.6 million products from more than 9000 sellers. Among them, some well-known brands
are there such as Apex, Walton, La Reave, etc.
The company basically works as an intermediary. When a customer places an order through
the website or the mobile application, automatically the seller gets a notification and the
company gets one too. The seller then packs the product and notifies the logistic department of
the company and a receiving person receives the product from the seller and brings it to the
logistic department. Then the department packs the products once again with Ajkerdeal.com’s
packaging. The product then handed over to the delivery person and he delivers the product to
the ordered address. The whole process takes two to three working days.
There are two payment methods that a customer can use the online payment and cash on
delivery. The online payment includes mobile banking such as bKash and Rocket or credit or
debit cards. Customers are also allowed to use Visa or Master card. In the cash on delivery
method, the customer pays the money after getting the product in the hand of the delivery
person. Cash on delivery method is the most popular and most used by the customers.
