In an age when convenience is king, the provision of receiving items at any time of day or night is a highly valued one. A viral video posted last week by Dana Marie, an American citizen currently living in Bengaluru, went viral because she was astonished at India's fast late-night delivery services. Sharing her experience on Instagram, Dana's video initiated a discussion regarding the special and remarkable delivery culture in India, which is still a draw for both locals and expats.
Dana Marie's awe at India's late night fast delivery service
In her viral Instagram clip, Dana is caught indulging in a piece of cake while marveling at India's capability to send a whole cake to her doorstep within less than 20 minutes, even at 11 pm. The text in the video reads, "Something about India is you can get an entire cake delivered to your door in under 20 minutes at 11 pm," which captures her thrill. The video also points to the variety of products one can have delivered at any time, ranging from cake and ice cream to regular items like a single can of Coke or even scissors.
In her text, Dana remains amazed at the convenience of it all: "Not just cake… Ice cream, coffee, one can of coke, cucumbers, a pair of scissors, etc. If you're in a big metro, you can get almost everything!" Her honesty and enthusiasm strike a “chord with viewers, highlighting how this quick delivery service is a pleasant yet surprising dimension to urban life in India.
Social media reactions to Dana’s viral video
Dana's video rapidly went viral, with more than 3.9 million people watching. It elicited a torrent of reactions from its audience, both within India and all over the world, as they all passionately wrote about their own experiences with the country's extraordinary late-night delivery services.
Several were quick to point out the degree to which such services have become ubiquitous in Indian life, with one user reminiscing about having once ordered a copy of an Aadhaar card in the dead of night at 2 am in a non-metro town. Another commenter gave it a technology-twist, saying that they could order groceries and a PlayStation 5 from the same app, and get them delivered in short order.
Another resident captured the sentiment aptly: "That's the biggest advantage in India. Life is more convenient here than in other nations." This observation captures the sense of convenience and ease that these rapid delivery mechanisms introduce into daily life. Another resident added, "I feel blessed to be staying in India, to be honest," capturing the sense of appreciation that most locals have for such services.
Experiences shared on India's late night delivery services
The messages continued to flood in, filled with stories varying from amusing to outright astounding. One user posted about ordering an impressive Rs 4,000 value of chocolates and snacks during late-night hours and having six individual delivery drivers visit, each of them carrying some portion of the order. Reportedly, the drivers were having a good time, enjoying the pleasant weather while making their rounds. In a more utilitarian vein, another commenter recounted a story of having ordered ice cream and food at 3 am and 5 am, respectively, and both arriving in pristine condition and being "absolutely delicious." Another shared experience was that of a user ordering soup at 2 am, noting how this was "relatable" to Dana's late-night indulgence.
The responses also emphasized the quick and effective service provided even in emergency cases. A user explained how the fan at their home broke down late at night, and they ordered a new one. In only 10 minutes, a new table fan was delivered, which is an astonishing speed of India's delivery services. Perhaps the most impressive example came from a person who required a replacement computer mouse only 15 minutes prior to a crucial 9 pm presentation. At 8:55 pm, they received a brand-new mouse, highlighting the speed of these delivery services, even in the most urgent of circumstances.
As the comments continued, many users marveled at how India’s late-night delivery service was unmatched in other countries, with one commenter posing the question, “I’m surprised it’s not available in other countries – aren’t they supposed to be developed nations?” This sentiment reflects a broader curiosity and admiration for the efficiency of India’s delivery infrastructure, especially when compared to the systems in place in other parts of the world.
