Flipkart vs Amazon – Price, Ratings & Delivery TAT Comparison

Introduction

India’s two largest eCommerce giants—Flipkart and Amazon—often list the same products with differences in pricing, ratings, and delivery times. For sellers, brands, and market intelligence teams, tracking these variables in real-time is vital to stay competitive and optimize presence across both platforms. iWeb Data Scraping partnered with a top-tier electronics brand to implement a structured comparison of prices, reviews, and delivery timelines between Flipkart and Amazon, covering 2,000+ SKUs across metro and Tier 2 cities.

Objectives

Track product prices and seller types (1P, 3P) across both platforms.
Compare customer ratings, reviews, and review count per product.
Monitor delivery TAT (turnaround time) by city and seller type.
Detect mismatches in discounts, Prime/Plus availability, and stock status.

Challenges

Ratings and delivery timelines are geo-specific and change daily.
Seller listings may differ even for identical SKUs.
Flipkart and Amazon use different DOM structures for displaying reviews and TATs.

iWeb Data Scraping’s Strategy:

1. City-Based Session Switching:

Simulated user sessions for 20+ Indian cities to capture delivery promises.
Selected SKUs via brand-level catalog APIs and deep link scrapes.

2. SKU-Level Matching Engine:

Matched listings based on title similarity, brand, model number, and specs.
Created paired comparisons with Flipkart and Amazon URL references.

3. Daily Extraction Points:

Product Name & Brand
Platform & Seller Type
Price, MRP, Discount
Rating, Review Count
Delivery ETA (in days)
