Hi, so, I won't lie...
There were some problems with RCM...

One of the biggest was that Chintal wasn't able to answer calls...
.
To solve this, we have switched the phone number with a "Call me button"
And we have trained our staff to call you and be able to help you when Chintal isn't around.
We expect that our staff would call within 30 mins! (During shop hours)

Check out the new "Call me button" at http://rcmumbai.com/home/contact-us/

Another major problem is that some people aren't able to access the site because its too slow....

To solve this, we are upgrading our servers from shared 512mb ram to dedicated 32gb ram servers tonight!
We expect the site to be much faster once the servers are switched!

You should be able to access the new, more faster site from tomorrow....

In terms of other improvements...

You would have noticed that we have made our shipping and packaging practices more professional and better....

We have started using barcodes to achieve 100% correct order packing!

We now do weekly inventory to make sure that the stuff you see online is available at our warehouse!

BTW I would like to point out that we have got dealership from:

Boscam
DJI
Gens Ace
Tattu
HQ props

And we're working on getting many more!

Do you think that we can improve more in some field ? Let me know!

Some of the spellings could use corrections.

Under Airplanes --> Accessories, "Clevis" is misspelled as "Cleaves" and "Loctite" is misspelled as "Lacolite".

I know I'm nitpicking but I think these things matter.

Yes, these things do matter!

Edited.
Now, you will find correct spellings!

These spellings were incorrect in the first place because Chintal, me or the other RCM employees don't manage the airplanes section... the airplanes section is managed by some other person...

Lemme know if you find something else as well...

Thank you!

I found one, It's typed Byma instead of syma

byma is a copy of Syma...

Dear
The problem is not on your server. Check your site with gtmetrix.com
See the attached screenshot;
You are loading 9.7MB in the home page. You can upgrade your server to a super computer. But, that will not solve the problem.
The below file is 7.9MB and this file increases your page load time in the users computer.

The second issue is, you are not caching the static files. See the screenshot.

Up course, i can see that files are being served faster. But, as I said the user's internet speed is the bottleneck.

Kumaran

Optimizing is the key here, QK site load time was 10+ seconds i brought it down to less than 4 seconds (on average)

My server also runs on 512mb ram never died. Its just to understand what needs on be loaded on that section and what not.

Just my 2 cents, no hard feelings

Bumper improvement
decrease prices

will decrease the resolution and size...

Thanks for the help!

I think that the prices of most items are already the lowest in India... And I can't change them much...

I know that just jokin

The site is now better than ever!

Improved speed!
Added category images
Fixed bug with SMS sending.
Optimised front page.
Removed additional plugins.
Started caching

Now working on improving customer support and starting barcode order and item inventory systems!

What has happened to the Game Changers competition? I can no longer find the thread on RCI, the pass was automatically removed from my cart saying that 'it is no longer available' and I can't find the pass on the RCM website anymore?

live chat shows your online all the time and no reply i was just waiting for an hour for a reply. really online?? one thing you need to know to make your store better is remember first its a store not only a website. really online??

@Sk1701 We're re-launching that on Sunday morning...
@JK The chat app is on our phones and thus, whenever our phone is connected to the net, it shows that the chat support is online...
I try to chat with as many customers as possible, but i'm not always available (also implies to Chintal...)

Fixed DTDC "Consignment details not found" error.
The problem was that DTDC recently updated their site and they shifted tracking from their international to local site.
Edited the link from .com to .in and it started working!

MOBILE APP IS NOW READY !!!

Its taken me a lot of time to perfect but the mobile app is finally ready!

The app automatically opens via our site on phones! ( Web App )

Its as beautiful as it gets
And also as smooth as it gets!

Here's how it looks:



The whole app is awesome!
To check it out, go to www.rcmumbai.com from your phone!
(Compatible with iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, Android Wear, All Android Phones, All Windows Phones, All Blackberry Phones, All Java based OS phones and more )

Great Efforts 

Looks great, but correct me if i am wrong but its not an app (for sure) but looks more like a website optimized for mobile (mobile version of the website)

Yes, as I mentioned in my original post, its a web app,and you're correct, its less or more a website highly optimised for phone.
Web apps are basically websites optimised for phones, but they take advantage of the phones unlike normal websites.

You should read more about web apps, they are really intriguing to me! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application

Maybe you should too try web apps for Quadkopters, its really simple, either you can use a redirection tool for phones and send customers who are using phones/tablets to a subdomain, for eg, m.quadkopters.com . You can make a theme, especially for phone users and then set everything up, as long as the wp-config files are same, all orders, all products and all settings should sync .
The other way is much easier and all you gotta do is install a web app maker plugin, it'll manage everything on its own

I could had done native apps but then, there would some major problems, like not all mobile os would be supported, fixing bugs and to code one takes a lot of time.

Thanks for enlightening me. Let me take care of QK and you look after RCM

Sure
