It won’t be an exaggeration if I say that online food delivery platforms are saviours. Be it in the morning or at night, we can simply place an order of anything we like to eat and get it delivered to our doorstep. To avail of these services, we need to pay a delivery charge. But sometimes, we even get it for free. Well, a customer faced some issues with the delivery fee on Swiggy and he complained about it online.
A Customer Had To Pay ₹111 As A Delivery Fee
Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Sandeep Reddy Ramidi (@sandeep_ramidi) shared how Swiggy charged ₹111 for a food delivery that he ordered on Saturday.

111 delivery charges? Bro please don’t waste your money like this. Buy food from ONDC platforms or nearby stall.
