For one Amazon customer, Burhan Farooq, who has been a customer for three years, getting packages has been somewhat of a challenge. He feels lucky to live on a beautiful houseboat on Dal Lake. But delivering packages to his boat is tricky because of the scenic waters.
He recounts that while he always gets his packages on time, it is no easy task. "While my orders have always been delivered on time, I had to embark on a journey by using my own shikara towards Ghat No. 7 at Dal Lake to receive the package," Farooq explained.

Before, delivering packages was slow and needed careful planning to avoid missing orders. But everything changed quickly when Amazon India started using a floating 'I Have Space' store in June.
Farooq explained how things had changed for the better: "This development has made my life so convenient. I no longer need to trek to Ghat No. 7. Amazon¡¯s 'I Have Space' Partner, Murtaza, ensures that my packages are brought directly to the doorstep of my houseboat."
