Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.
Yeah. But that's the price you'll have to pay for convenience. They were always gonna start making money one day
OP wants convenience
OP wants to order from platforms
OP does not want to pay the fees the platform is charging for their services
OP is mad that a company is trying to be profitable and make money instead of doing public seva
OP, neeche jaake leke aa na saman bhai. Why did you even look at Swiggy Instamart?
Swiggy is increasing their prices based on knowing what consumers are willing to pay according to their data. They wouldn’t do it haphazardly.
When users have a problem with something, they stop using it. The people that don’t have a problem with the minimum orders and barges etc will not stop using it.
Bhai tu pehle to burnol laga le
Nahi bro, tu lagale. I have no problem paying fees for convenience when/if I order on platforms. I don’t complain about it on anonymous platforms blaming companies for trying to be profitable.
If you don’t want to pay the fee simply walk down or find alternatives.
How else will the biz make sense 😅 not supporting them but essentially this is the price of running a delivery biz
Bruh ordering a 50 rs item on Swiggy that too in rain and asking why is Swiggy charging me so much
So? I paid for Swiggyone membership for the exact same thing. Why is it wrong to expect it then?
kya jaan leloge bechari company ki.esi wajah se dunzo band ho gayi bhai if you want convenience at home you have to pay else you can always walk out with umbrella
"true colors", "mafia", "99 to 149 to 199" "they don't want to lose money"
When will people stop feeling entitled to "free"?
If you don't have Swiggy One, no point using Swiggy.
My subscription ended last week, it was charging 186 rs for delivery where zomato was asking 36rs (1.2km restaurant)
What do you mean by showing their true colour? We live is a capitalist world. When Swiggy was burning money and giving free deliveries you were happy.
It was a choice to use then and it's a choice now. Systems don't according to your convenience mate.
It is not according to my convenience mate. I paid for the bloody swiggyone membership. Swiggy isn't doing a favour on me by giving deliveries.
Did we ask swiggy to give free deliveries initially, they want to create a user base and addicting and now once people habituated now they are looting money in the lot of fees, rain fees, delivery fee, platform fee, convinence fee, handling fee, small cart fee. Now swiggy setting the rules, they don't know the India market is different if they charge more they lose more users and will be left with only premium users.
Swiggy clearly days free delivery only on orders above 199 when taking subscription. Didn't you see that when buying subscription?
They cant keep giving you free delivery for 1 rupee eclairs orders. They need a minimum order amount to make the delivery viable.
Swiggy is upfront about this minimum amount. I don't know why you are complaining. Do you expect swiggy to run in losses like a charity?
Haven't you read my post? I have clearly mentioned that they increased it. When I bought the subscription it was 99 about 7-8 months ago, then they increased to 149 and now 199. Where are you seeing 1 rupee eclairs?
1 rupee 50 rupee doesn't matter. Below a threshold it doesn't make sense to deliver the order. Swiggy will end up making a loss on the order no matter what. There is zero incentive for them to take that order. Which is why every food delivery company in the world has a minimum amount for free delivery.
So charging money for 50 rupee item is not really asshole design it's just pure financial sense.
Till now VC subsidised your orders, looks like they decided to stop. There is no "true colors", it's simply trying to make a business profitable.
OP thinks he’s a board member of Swiggy after paying them 699rs for a year.
Stop expecting companies to take losses for your sake. If your order value isn’t 199+, go downstairs and buy it.
Why on earth are you even expecting free deliveries for something that costs so less? Unit economics will not hold irrespective of it being a dark store closer to your house.
Is Swiggy in trouble? Every time I try to order they are either delayed or don't have any delivery partners. There seems to be some ops issue. Doesn't seem to be as reliable as it used to be 2 months back.
I am planning to take one of the two membership for ordering food and getting discounts. Out of two which one is better to take and is more value for money in terms of ROI and the discounts they provide. Which membership helps save more?
I have a genuine question. I am a frequent user of Swiggy Instamart, as I’m sure half of us here are. I’m always baffled by the crazy amounts of discounts swiggy levies on the MRP. I’ve bought basic household groceries at a discount of 5...
None of the restaurants say they’re Swiggy one compatible
I’m having to pay a lot more in delivery charges. This is… weird?
