Navratri Mega Sale Price Tracking

Executive Summary

Delivery time is the biggest driver of customer satisfaction in quick commerce. Dark stores promise “10–20 minute delivery,” but actual ETAs vary widely by store capacity, time of day, demand surges, traffic, and stock availability. Retailers wanted to understand how their dark store network performed against competitors and whether promised ETAs matched reality.

Actowiz Solutions ran a full December 2025 benchmark study across 6 major quick-commerce platforms. Our team tracked real-time delivery ETAs, delays, surge times, and time-slot variations using live Q-commerce data extraction and regional delivery mapping. This case study highlights the patterns behind delivery performance across thousands of dark stores.

Background

Navratri Mega Sale Price Tracking

Quick commerce revolutionized grocery convenience. Platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, and DoorDash promise:

  • 10-minute delivery
  • 15-minute delivery
  • 20-minute delivery

However, customers often see:

  • 32-minute evening delays
  • 45-minute weekend wait times
  • Variable ETAs across dark stores
  • Inventory-based delivery restrictions
  • Time-slot shifts during heavy demand

Retailers needed clear insight into:

  • How fast deliveries actually were
  • How consistent ETA promises were
  • Which dark stores performed poorly
  • Hourly patterns of delays
  • Impact of festivals, weekends, and weather
  • Differences between platforms
  • Real-time vs. actual order completion time

Actowiz Solutions built an end-to-end framework to benchmark Delivery ETAs across December 2025, the busiest month of the year.

Scope of Work

Region Platforms
India Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart
USA DoorDash, Instacart
UAE Talabat
Cities Covered
  • Delhi
  • Mumbai

  • Time-of-day changes
  • Geo-specific variations
  • Dark store–level routing
  • Slot availability
  • Surge indicators
  • Unavailable delivery windows
  • Store-level operational flags

Data Extraction Framework (Actowiz Solutions)

STEP 1 — Real-Time ETA Crawlers

Automated crawlers captured ETA every 8–10 minutes across all monitored cities.

STEP 2 — SKU-Agnostic Delivery Monitoring

A consistent test SKU was used to standardize delivery time analysis.

STEP 3 — Location-Level Mapping

Pin codes and localities were used to map:

  • Fastest dark stores
  • Slowest ones
  • Evening delays
  • Weekday vs weekend patterns
STEP 4 — ETA Normalization

Platforms show different time formats:

  • “8–12 minutes”
  • “Arrives in 15 minutes”
  • “Delivery in 20–25 minutes”

We normalized them to a single ETA in minutes.

STEP 5 — Delivery Surge Detection

Automatic detection when ETA spiked above 20 minutes.

Sample Data Extracted

Table 1: Average ETA (December 1–31)
Platform City Avg ETA Peak Delay Time Lowest ETA Time
Blinkit Mumbai 14 min 7–10pm 1–4pm
Zepto Bengaluru 18 min 6–9pm 11am–3pm
Instamart Delhi 21 min 7–11pm 12–4pm
DoorDash NYC 32 min 5–9pm 10am–1pm
Talabat Dubai 19 min 8–10pm 2–5pm
Table 2: Dark Store Delivery Variance
City Fastest ETA Store ETA Slowest ETA Store ETA
Mumbai Andheri West 9 min Powai 26 min
Bengaluru HSR Layout 12 min Whitefield 29 min
Delhi Dwarka Sec-12 13 min Rohini Sec-22 31 min
Table 3: Weekend vs Weekday Performance
Platform Weekday Avg ETA Weekend Avg ETA Difference
Zepto 17.1 min 21.8 min +4.7 min
Blinkit 13.4 min 17.6 min +4.2 min
Instamart 20.9 min 25.2 min +4.3 min

Key Findings & Insights

A. Evenings Cause the Highest Delivery Delays (6pm–10pm)

Across all platforms and cities, evenings consistently saw:

  • Highest order volume
  • Shortest dark store manpower
  • Longest delivery routes
  • Traffic slowdowns
B. Weekends Grow Delivery Time by 20–40%

Demand peaks on Fridays and Sundays.

C. Inventory Shortages Affect ETA

When a dark store has low availability, the system assigns a farther store → ETA increases.

Example:

Instamart Delhi base ETA = 20 minutes

Stock shortage added +11 minutes (next store).

D. Weather Also Impacts Delivery Time

Rain in Mumbai increased ETA by:

  • +14 minutes on average
  • +22 minutes during peak periods
E. Dense Urban Clusters Show Faster ETAs

Compact zones = shorter routing time.

Example: Blinkit in Lower Parel delivered consistently under 10 minutes.

F. Large-Scale Dark Stores Perform Better

Bigger stores handled peak loads without large delays.

G. USA Platforms Show Longer ETAs Than India

Due to:

  • Larger geographic coverage
  • Traffic conditions
  • Store-to-door distance
  • Lower dark store density

Platform-Wise Performance Analysis

Blinkit
  • Fastest average ETA overall
  • Strong peak-hour performance
  • Dense dark store network
  • Very high evening stability compared to peers
Zepto
  • Good mid-day performance
  • Evening delays due to store clustering
  • High turnout in Bengaluru and Hyderabad
Instamart
  • Consistent but slightly higher ETAs
  • Larger store coverage reduces volatility
  • Stall-out issues during holidays
DoorDash (USA)
  • Longest ETAs
  • Heavy geographic spread
  • High traffic impact
Talabat (UAE)
  • Strong performance
  • Minimal weather disruptions
  • Predictable delivery patterns

December 2025 Special Events Impact

Christmas Week (USA, UAE)
  • Spike in grocery demand
  • Talabat weekend ETA +16 minutes
  • DoorDash delays reached up to 45 minutes in NYC
New Year Surge (India)
  • Blinkit & Zepto late-night ETAs +27–32 minutes
  • Instamart faced store capacity limits
