In the Indian quick commerce landscape of 2026, finding an app with absolutely **"no delivery fee"** across all orders is rare because platforms rely on delivery and handling fees to stay profitable. However, you can easily get **zero delivery charges** by meeting specific minimum order thresholds or using loyalty subscriptions. Here is how the top quick commerce apps handle delivery fees in India right now: ### 1. Zepto Zepto is currently the most upfront about offering waived delivery fees for standard order sizes. * **The Rule:** They offer **Zero Delivery Fees** on orders above **₹99**. * **Perks:** They explicitly market a "Zero Fees" policy for these orders, meaning they try to avoid hidden handling fees, surge pricing, or rainy-day charges on qualifying amounts. ### 2.

Blinkit (by Zomato) Blinkit is the market leader for speed but is stricter with its fee structure. * **The Rule:** They charge a baseline delivery fee alongside a small handling/convenience fee on most orders. * **How to lower it:** Free delivery occasionally kicks in for very large cart values, or through specific bank/wallet promotional coupons at checkout. ### 4. BigBasket Now (BB Now) & Flipkart Minutes * **BB Now:** Tata’s quick-delivery arm often slashes delivery fees if you cross a specific cart milestone or if you are a **bbstar** member. * **Flipkart Minutes:** As a newer player heavily competing for market share, they frequently run promotional offers featuring **flat ₹0 delivery fees** with lower minimum order limits to attract new users. --- > 💡 **Pro-Tip for Zero Fees:** To avoid delivery fees on any of these apps, try to group your small impulse buys into a single order that crosses **₹99 – ₹149**.
