Online Food delivery app makes our shopping experience easier. However, many users question these apps on additional charges and charges. Recently, viral videos that roam on social media have shown many zepto users flagged off the difference in fruits and vegetable prices for Android and iPhone users. Now, in a new Instagram video, a user (@raw_nitinjoshi) claims that this difference is also present for the item packed with the same MRP. The user says that it is obtained through additional charges for iPhone users.
The viral video shows an Android phone and an iPhone placed next to each other. On the Zepto app, each phone has the same delivery address and similar items in the cart. While the price for each item is also the same, the total bill for iPhone is more than Rs 22. The user then shows that the iPhone user has an additional “item handling cost” of Rs 30.99.

One said, “After seeing this, switch back to Android and confirm that this is really true.”
Another couple, “This is really scary. We need to spread the word so that people stop using it. A handling fee of Rs 31 and then GST on it, and that too only for a special section of users , It is absolutely unacceptable.
