A Hyderabad woman conducted an experiment to test the delivery speeds of three popular quick-commerce apps—Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart. Her findings, shared on X, quickly went viral and sparked discussions online.
Sneha, a student at the Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad, teamed up with her friend Aryan for the experiment. They placed simultaneous orders for different items on each app to compare delivery times. The results were as follows:
- Swiggy Instamart: Sid Farm’s milk delivered in 21 minutes
- Zepto: Milky Mist paneer delivered in 8 minutes
- Blinkit: Super You and Whole Truth protein bars delivered in 13 minutes
The experiment highlighted Zepto's impressive speed, leaving social media users intrigued by the competition among these platform
In her post, Sneha described the anticipation: “Then came the fun part – waiting?”
Blinkit stole the show, arriving first. Swiggy Instamart followed in second place, while Zepto lagged behind, taking 30 minutes despite its initial promise of 10 minutes. According to Sneha, a chat with the Zepto delivery partner revealed the delay was due to the store’s distance from the campus
Sneha shared her experience with unedited videos of the deliveries, making her experiment a hit online
Social media users didn’t hold back with their thoughts. “During my stay in Delhi, a Swiggy store was 10 metres away. Delivery should take less than 5 mins, but wrong maps and inaccurate updates made it 20 mins.”
Others highlighted their own delivery experiences: “Did Blinkit and Swiggy arrive before the committed time? I was rather thinking about their conservative approach to promising and delivering before that. Similar to what I've seen Zomato do. Always creates a pleasant experience seeing the order got delivered 30 mins before promised.”
Sneha’s post charmed users who could relate to the quirks of quick-commerce apps.
