Swiggy Charges A Delivery Fee Of ₹83 For 100 Metres; Netizens Say, “Le Aao Jake”

Onlive delivery platforms are a life-changer and surely a saviour. If we feel too busy or just lazy to visit shops to purchase everything we need, we can simply add the products to the cart and get them delivered to our doorsteps. One of the famous food delivery apps is Swiggy and the delivery agents deliver orders to our doors in less than an hour. For this, the platform charges a fee along with other costs. Recently, a customer pointed out Swiggy’s high delivery fee.

X User Highlighted Swiggy Charging Too High Delivery Fee For 100 Metre

Taking to the X platform, Rohit Pathak  (@Being_Rohitp) raised the issue of the food delivery company asking for a high delivery charge.

Rohit Pathak shared a screenshot of a Swiggy bill and pointed out that the platform charged ₹83 delivery charge for 100 metre. Sharing exasperation, he called it a loot. According to the screenshot attached to the X post, the item total was ₹179. To deliver the order at a distance of 100 metre, the delivery charge was ₹83. In addition, there was a platform fee of ₹6 and GST and restaurant charges of ₹20.53. The overall bill was ₹289.

Paying ₹289 for a food item of ₹179 is not the biggest surprise here. The most shocking fact is that Swiggy charged a delivery fee of ₹83 for just 100 metre. The delivery charge was around half of the actual item total.
