Ordering groceries has now become a breeze, thanks to the online grocery delivery apps. What’s more, is the introduction of Instant Grocery Delivery which promises 10-min delivery or even quicker. Additionally, these apps deliver electronics, food & beverages, personal care, health, and many more products. There are also many 2-hr, same day, and next day delivery apps available which include the likes of JioMart, DMart Ready, BigBasket, StarQuik, Amazon Fresh, and some more.
Is 10-min Instant Delivery a gimmick?
Online FMCG Companies have now adopted Quick Commerce to instantly deliver to their customers. However, promising a 10-min delivery is way hard to believe, isn’t it? It is true in some cases but will take time to establish full-fledged.
Based on your location the delivery time can vary between 10-30 mins in most of the instant delivery apps. There are cases where the orders are delivered in just 7-8 mins. Also, due to road traffic, building/society security checks & more entrance points, and unwanted issues deliveries reach after 30 mins.
How is 10-min Instant Delivery made possible?
Companies have dark stores (fulfilment centers) at every 2 km of targeted regions. These stores contain all the items which you see on the app before ordering. Thus, when you place the order, the fulfilment team prepares your order quickly and hands it over to the delivery person for delivery.
Dunzo is planning to have an automatic fulfilment center to speed up this process. Also, they are planning for drone deliveries to stay ahead of its peers and ensure ultra-fast delivery to customers. However, it is interesting that Dunzo currently depends on tied-up retail stores for groceries.
Why are 10-min Instant Delivery Services here? What is the need?
Companies have realized that Quick Commerce is the way to go in the FMCG space because of its regular need, heavy consumption, and user demand. They are mostly targeting the middle and upper-class public for this.
There are various cases where instant delivery can be really helpful. Check out some of them below.
You are hosting a party at home. Time for food is here, and you realize that you are missing some key items.
You are returning home after a tiring day, but have to make a scrumptious meal for your family. Ordering grocery on the go while you travel comes to the rescue.
You are someone who decides instantly (last-minute) about what to prepare for lunch/dinner/breakfast or likes to cook on mood.
You are at railway station, 1 hr away from boarding an express train, and find that mobile charger is left at home.
Want a birthday gift for the evening party hassle-free!

Why Swiggy Instamart is mentioned at no 1 when they charge for membership?
Also their product catalgue is limited comparing to BB Now (which has unlimited products from needle to elephant 😄). Grofers is equally good and prices are good, but they recently started Rs 9 delivery charges which sometimes goes upto Rs 50 in form of surge charges, so grofers goes down few slots
If you are talking about delivery app and focused delivery platform then Qwqer is one of them. Others are into ecommerce only. But Qwqer is into every category. Plz check it and add it.
