Instead of looking for a nearby shop, the family placed an order online, and a fresh pair arrived at the temple within 10 minutes.Sandeep Mall, founder of LNM Auto Industries, shared the incident on X, where he spoke about how quickly the delivery service came to their rescue.In his post, he wrote, “Dad’s chappal got stolen outside Banke Bihari temple. Quick commerce delivered in front of temple in 10 mins. This service can’t be imagined anywhere.”Take a look at the post here: The post also prompted people to share their own experiences with instant deliveries, with some pointing out how the service had become useful in rather unexpected situations. One user joked that the quick delivery had interrupted a familiar cycle of stolen footwear at temples, writing that chappal theft was a “chain reaction” and that Mall had stopped it by ordering a new pair.Another person shared how their daughter had relied on online shopping to get ready for an office Diwali party. She had ordered two dresses from Myntra at 6.30 pm and managed to have them delivered in time for an 8 pm gathering, as she did not like repeating outfits at work or on Instagram.A third user offered a more contrasting take on the experience, pointing out the odd combination of temple footwear theft and ultra-fast delivery. They said they could not imagine shoes being stolen at temples in other developed countries, nor could they imagine 10-minute deliveries elsewhere, adding that India was “the worst and the best at the same time.”- Ends
