Amazon v/s Myntra- The better online fashion portal

I love shopping online and have been doing it for 6-7 years now. It’s fun to be able to explore a plethora of options from the convenience of your home instead of visiting stores/ malls and waiting in the queue. I buy a lot of stuff online, including clothes, footwear, bags, and accessories. When it comes to online fashion portals, Myntra is hands-down my favourite brand. Though Amazon also offers clothes, footwear, and bags from top brands on their portal, it can’t beat Myntra. For me, Amazon is a great choice for electronics, home- essentials, kitchen ware, decorative items, and other essentials.

What makes Myntra have an edge over Amazon?

  • Myntra app is visually appealing, and it is fun to explore different products for brands. The images and reference videos help in making an informed buying decision.
  • The user interface of the app is amazing. It is fast, responsive and easy to use for anyone.
  • The colors and image quality of Myntra is unparalleled. It tempts you to keep on scrolling and exploring more and more options.
  • You can find some great deals at Myntra. They have a sale for most part of the year and during the festive seasons, the buyers can avail 70 to 80% discount on their favourite products.
  • Their delivery time is unbeatable, at least for the big cities. Many times, I have received my orders within 2 days.
  • There are several top brands to choose from, so you don’t have to compromise with your choices.
  • Their return and refund process is quick. The refund is processed immediately after the pickup of the return parcel.
  • The exchange feature has further added to a great shopping experience.
  • You get what you see on the app in terms of quality.
  • There are many filters to simplify your buying experience and save time.

Myntra has never disappointed me, and it is forever going to be my most preffered online fashion app. How has your experience been with Myntra. Do you find it better than Amazon?

  1. Amazon has recently recruited some famous actors and actresses to promote their fashion aspect. I think it will definitely catchup soon as they know how to market stuff. They are the biggest online shopping store for a reason. Myntra is great because they offer quality products. Amazon will have to ensure quality because a lot of sellers sell cheap looking and quality products on their website. So it will be interesting to see how they cope with this. For now, I also prefer Myntra. But if I have to buy branded clothing, then I am not hesitant to go on Amazon.

    1. I agree with your analysis of Amazon. They are certainly trying to keep pace with the tough competition from Myntra and Ajio. However, I feel there’s still a long way to go. Also, they need to work on their user interface. Myntra looks more premium as compared to Amazon and is way smooth and easy to browse through.

      Yes, Amazon has some authentic sellers that offer quality products. I have myself bought Chikankari kurtas from Amazon. But mostly, it’s electronics, kitchenware, and appliances from Amazon for me. Myntra rightly deserves to be the most loved fashion online portal at the moment.

      1. Agreed, about Myntra’s UI, but I still feel you are underestimating Amazon in terms of fashion. Even if I buy some cheap clothes on Amazon, there are high chances it will be good. But I haven’t seen that happening from Myntra. Currently, Myntra is definitely the ruler, but now, they are trying to move into many things like home decor, cosmetics. I don’t know if the quality and management will still remain the same.

        1. I hope they always maintain the quality and services. For now, they are the best online fashion portal. Will try exploring Amazon as well, but I wish they worked a bit on their UI to make it appealing to the buyers.
