'Laptop Arrived In 13 Minutes': Bengaluru Man Shares His 'Super Fast Delivery' Experience

In the fast-paced world of online shopping, e-commerce platforms have revolutionised the way we shop, with instant deliveries becoming the new norm. While many are familiar with quick grocery delivery services like Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, etc., Flipkart has also entered the quick commerce arena with Flipkart Minutes. One Bengaluru resident, sitting at a Starbucks outlet, ordered a laptop from Flipkart Minutes which he received in just 13 minutes.

Sunny Gupta shared his experience on X (formerly Twitter), detailing how his laptop order arrived in a mere 13 minutes. “Just ordered a laptop from Flipkart minutes. 7 minutes delivery. Will keep this thread posted,” Sunny wrote.

“Immediately after the order, the tracking page showed “slightly delayed” and updated the time to 12 minutes,” he added.

Gupta mentioned that the delivery partner arrived at Starbucks where he was sitting in just 3 minutes. The laptop was handed over after verifying the order through OTP.

“He is here! Unboxing now, before I give the OTP,” he wrote.

Gupta further shared, “So it took exactly 13 minutes from payment success to receiving it at the Starbucks I ordered it to.” He also uploaded a video showcasing the laptop in perfect working condition. His video revealed that he purchased an Acer Predator laptop, a model that can range in price between Rs 95,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh online.

The thread garnered significant attention online, amassing over 9 lakh views. The comment section buzzed with a variety of reactions. Take a look:

One user shared, “Can’t believe Flipkart is delivering super fast now! I actually stopped ordering from them after it took 15 days to deliver a phone that was supposed to arrive in 4. Guess competition really does work wonders!”’

Another questioned, “Revolutionary! But what happens, if the product that is delivered in such a haste turns out to be faulty and needs replacement? The instant gratification turns into a nightmare…! Good luck to you though!”

In response, Gupta wrote, “Thanks. We can share the OTP after verifying the product is pristine and unharmed. Other than that, it is the same as buying from a store, once you accept the product and bring it home from a store, new defects are handled by warranty or accidental covers if applicable.”

Someone with a different perspective, commented, “In 7 minutes you can goto store , I don’t understand this hype of quick commerce.”

“Meanwhile me waiting for my zomato order for the past 50 minutes,” an X user quipped.

A person noted, “This is my new India. A service like this can only be dreamed in other Western countries.”

Unlike its competitors, Flipkart Minutes not only promises lightning-fast deliveries but also offers high-end gadgets like laptops – items one won’t find on platforms like Zepto, Blinkit, etc. Launched this month in select areas of Bengaluru, Flipkart also stands out for its competitive pricing, with products costing around 10% less than rival services.
