Questions about choosing a delivery app in Kolkata
Why doesn’t Blinkit deliver to my address in Kolkata?
Blinkit has the most stores in Kolkata, but each store delivers only to homes a few kilometres around it. If no Blinkit store is close to you, the app shows “not serviceable”. Try Flipkart Minutes or another app with a store nearer your home.
Which app should I use in Ballygunge or Kasba?
Ballygunge and Kasba each have stores from several apps, with Blinkit strongest in Ballygunge. In both, open each installed app and enter your exact address to see which one accepts it.
