Blinkit has better inventory, like @iTeachChem added, and their suggestion algo based on my purchases feels better. They also surprise me with new, odd SKUs, they have added recently that I might be interested in

How is the average value this high though. For all platforms. I don’t get it

Blinkit doesn't have Solid Masti where I live. Also Instamart is faster for me.

Another reason is that.. with Instamart, I don’t have to install another app to order items. One Swiggy app is enough.

Same, I’d started off with Zomato for food and Swiggy for delivery because it’s really prompt here. But moved to Swiggy entirely. I also like the eatlist feature they have and overall UI. (Haven’t used Zomato in a while don’t know if eatlists are everywhere)

Zepto majorly. I have restarted ordering from Blinkit lately after 7-8 months, but I am still hesitant. Had bad delivery incidents with Blinkit 3-4 times so stopped using it.

Haven't you tried Instamarrrrrrrrrttttttttttt 😮

Only when the products are not available on Zepto or Blinkit.

Yup same

Who's winning the poll vs chatter game here, in this loop?

Nope. Unless it's really urgent...which is rare.

You’re right

Then what makes you order from these quick commerce platforms apart from the greater variety and better deals?

Depends on what priority does convenience have on your list but for most people I think getting it sooner just makes sense. 1. You want to receive your order while you’re at home so if it delivers in few minutes it makes sense. 2. Slots are unpredictable and time blockers. Having a definite delivery time makes more sense. 3. If you exclusively shop from the apps, you can order missing ingredients or things you want while preparing other things. Could you live without fast deliveries: yes. Do we need to? No. I mean you can’t download food from your phone but fast deliveries come close.

For me, it’s not so much about getting something in 5-10 minutes, but more about having things delivered at my convenience. Quick delivery can be great, but I think it’s easy to get caught up in an artificial sense of urgency that these services create.

I LOVE instamart. Blinkit's service has become really bad. Zepto doesn't let me track my order, which I lowkey diskliked and stopped using it. BB I remember had some great products which other quick commerce didn't. Like Amul's Sour Cream. But with BB Now they don't keep all this anymore.

I went to Nature's basket (first time after feb 2020) yesterday and I don't think I am missing out on anything by ordering online.

Wohooo and how you just need to search what you want and bam you have it. Maybe stores have more discovery bit but that is also possible on the apps. Also, I did not like the way that place smelled 🙈
