It's pretty normal for people to reorder a certain item after it cancels on its own while online shopping. The practice is more common when it comes to ordering food from food delivery apps. Facing something similar, a man ordered a few ingredients quite a few times after he repeatedly faced ‘cancellation’ on Swiggy. However, the story took a hilarious turn when his phone began to notify on repeat, much like a snoozed alarm, and his front door was lined up by multiple deliveries. Basically, the man ended up receiving his order 6 times in total. The incident soon went viral after he shared the entire matter with the internet community.
Later describing the incident in the comments, the man revealed that he was receiving a ‘cancellation’ due to a glitch, leading him to order the items 6 times.
The post was shared on the social media site X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘pranayloya’. The post was captioned, “I unintentionally broke down Swiggy’s app. 6 delivery executives brought the same order! Here is what happened.”
