Blinkit Handling charges keep increasing – how far can it go and can it ever be reversed?

Has anyone else noticed that handling charges seem to just... keep going up? It started at ₹5 and now it's crept up to ₹8 on the same platform/service. Small amount, sure, but it adds up.

A few things I'm genuinely curious about:

What's the algorithm behind this? Is it dynamic pricing based on order value, location, demand, or just pure corporate greed with a fancy name?

Is there a cap / maximum value it can reach? Or will it just keep climbing indefinitely?
Can it be reversed?

I know ₹3 doesn't sound like a lot but when millions of orders are placed daily, that's crores being quietly pocketed. Would love to hear if anyone has insights, especially from people in the industry or who've studied dark patterns in Indian e-commerce/food delivery apps.

Screaming for literally an ice cream has to be the worst idea ever

I live in hostel and because of blinkit's screaming challenge, everyone here are so disturbed since morning. They could've done something else instead of making people scream. Its soo annoying and that too just for an ice cream 😭

Forced tip added in the bill??

in my area currently orders are not being ordered in high demand, yet they have added this mandatory 100rs tip in the bill when I haven't added the tip yet? what the fuck is going on? I am so done with this because I think the last time I ordered something they added this tip too but I overlooked it but God this is terrible to fool all of us with this bullshit

Delivery driver entered inside our house without permission

So today at around 1pm I ordered from blinkit. The delivery driver came at the time shown on app. Everything was smooth but then after 2 minutes he comes again and just enters through our main door, saying he forgot to click the picture. I didn't think much of it, and let him click the picture.

I went upstairs, now after 5 minutes he comes at our house again, opens the gate and enters jaise baap ka hi ghar ho. Climbs upstairs and starts knocking at our door saying the server was down so the picture didn't submit. By that time I had opened the package and everything.

See, I don't mind waiting a couple extra minutes for the picture to be taken. But atleast call, I have had this happen before but everytime the drivers call on my phone and asks me to come at the gate.

This guy just opens our gate and enters like it's nothing, highly inappropriate.

They sent me seal cracked open and half drank bottle

Same as title. But package was fully sealed, it was someone at store i guess. They're giving 18 rupees as a refund which is of literally no use. Every kind of suggestions are welcome.

Shittt!!!

Mysore blinkit store

Worst of all the blinkit stores

Only good thing is their inventory

Just for the convience and price my sister ordered this cold coffe

Similar complaints of poor quality control

And unhygienic store had been raised beforehand in mysore

Looks like someone ate the bottle and shitt out

As always they wont respond and prevent us from raising a complaint request

Will be raising a consumer complaint with all the previous records if they dont respond to the complaint.... I dont expect a refund from them but an explanation or atleast improvement of the present condition of this store

Throwing this product is far more better than consuming it and put a mental toll, prevents us from drinking that product again

Fucking got two orders fucked in a row

One order got cancelled itself at 3:55am

No refund yet RRN has been issued

Another order (same order) I repeated 3 days later it got marked as delivered when i didn't even got ready to pick it up

???

I'm at a loss of almost 1k rupees for this fuckass app

Someone help me out

My theory for today's order that got marked as delivered but i didn't do shit is

Rider gave the order to someone else without fucking confirming the name or anything or took it for himself

Fking audacity

This delivery person came to deliver a few products. I gave him the money and said thank you. And after that I was standing there because I ordered something from zomato and it was on the way. This guy had the fucking audacity to come to me and say in bengali that I'll tell you one thing. Please don't mind. Don't wear such short clothes. Bruhhhh wtf. Who tf gave you the permission to tell me what i should wear and what i should not. And mind you i was wearing a short pant and a t-shirt. Nothing inappropriate. So i told him "What's your problem with my clothes". He just went away. Like wtf bro. Have some decency. Here's his number.

Red Bull offer

Guys do Blinkit actually give you a month of redbull supply?? I got that offer today and i made three of three hits and even ordered three cans but i got only 5% off coupon(capped at 50rs) as mystery gift.🤬
Do they actually give something meaningful or is it all just a hoax!?🤬🤬🤬

Today I ordered oats from blinkit and while I was unpacking the order I happened to look at the mrp on the packet. Realised that I've overpaid for my order. So the official mrp is rs. 310 while on the app it was rs. 349 and the discounted price was rs. 321. This made me wonder how many times I may have been over charged in the past. I have raised a complaint on the app and initially the offered me a return of rs. 11 but I've declined that. Waiting for their response. Guys please cross check the mrp of the products that you order.

DON’T ORDER EGGS FROM BLINKIT! Rotten, expired, and support is a complete joke.

Just received my order and this is what I found

The eggs aren't just bad, they are visibly rotten and expired. The smell alone was enough to know.

When I reached out to support for a simple refund for sending me hazardous food, I got the most classic scripted ai response. After making me wait, they had the audacity to say the photos, which clearly show the moldy, broken mess.

This is a literal health hazard. the bot is clearly trained to just exhaust you until you give up on your money. Save yourselves the headache and the food poisoning, buy your groceries literally anywhere else.

I just checked that I have been tipping 200 rupees everytime I ordered on blinkit. I am very sure I never added this tip amount in my orders. It just randomly started tipping 200 rupees. I realised this because the delivery guy called and thanked me for the tip. So far I have lost 1200 this way. I know I should have checked the bill and all but genuinely this is the worst app experience. How did it randomly just start tipping 200 rupees without my knowledge??
