covid-19 pandemic outrage. As each one of us is stuck at home or at a
particular place because of lockdown due to the contagious nature of Covid-19,

door steps. And relaxation in lockdown has almost reinstated their services
like before due to high demand of deliverables. In fact, to meet the demand,
companies are expanding their portfolio of deliverables along with abiding by
the guidelines issued by WHO and government.

as customers are getting most of the prerequisites without stepping out of
their houses. Contactless delivery of essentials is possible only in case of
online shopping which keeps customer as well as rider safe during this lockdown
period. Even after giving the relaxation in lockdown or its withdrawal hasn’t
changed anything as exposure to infection is still high. So, people are
choosing and using online digital eCommerce portals and networks for getting
their essential delivered. To serve the huge demand of customers, eCommerce
companies are not only focusing on managing increasing demands but also are
coming up with different strategies to entertain the societal demands safely.
As a part of safety measure, cash on delivery services are reduced or stopped and companies themselves are urging people to pay online as we all have to follow social distancing to minimize the risk of catching and spreading of covid-19 infection. During this corona virus outrage, all of the last mile services are going to mint a whopping amount online and this perception has introduced many new last mile services players in the digital market space in last few weeks. But stay alert! As there are many who are there to just swapping money from your bank accounts not to deliver you anything. So, it is very important to follow online safety practices if you are ordering essentials online.

Install and use antivirus software to stay safe when you connect to internet and browse the web
because most fragile networks and devices are hit more often.
·
Always verify your eCommerce
company and its history of services before ordering anything online. Better
would be if you go with trusted brands only having good reputation in market.

Don’t try every new company operating
in the market as all of them collect so much of your personal information which
can be mishandled later by them.

Provide as much protection as
you can to your banking and wallet apps.

Don’t allow withdrawal of money
without your authentication.
·
Don’t respond on such random
calls, messages, and emails which are asking about your banking details, secret
key, and one-time password.
·
Don’t get trapped if you see
any lucrative online offers promising you to make you win lottery and
kind.
·
Don’t leave the payment page
unattended. Properly exit from the app once you’re done with order.

Unsubscribe, logout and
uninstall those apps which you don’t use anymore.
