Viral Blinkit Order Mix-Up: Man Orders Men’s Underwear, Receives Women’s Bikini Briefs


Despite his post gaining over 3.2 million views, Blinkit did not address his complaint. In a humorous turn of events, Priyansh chose to keep the briefs and posted a follow-up image of himself wearing them, captioned: “Update: Blinkit refused to refund my money so I compromised.”

The post quickly went viral, with many users reacting with humor and sympathy. One commenter joked, “It is in fashion. Kudos!” while another shared a similar experience, saying, “Compromising ever since I installed Blinkit. Once I ordered potatoes and got pumpkin instead.” 

The incident even attracted the attention of a competing service, @blip.fashion, which offered Priyansh an alternative, suggesting, “Why compromise when there’s a better service out there? Send us your address and we will send one.”

Blinkit’s lack of response has sparked further discussion about its return policy. The platform’s policy states that underwear cannot be returned due to hygiene reasons, but exceptions are made for incorrect deliveries. In Priyansh’s case, the error was not addressed, leading to his public outcry.

The incident also prompted a playful response from a Pakistani dessert shop, Crumble, which joked about Blinkit’s delivery error in a tweet: “They can’t even deliver a biscuit and they wish to become Pakistan’s #1 brand.” Priyansh humorously acknowledged the added attention, saying, “I think I have started the war.”

This viral episode highlights the quirks of online shopping and customer service, showing how a simple mix-up can lead to widespread online chatter and unexpected outcomes.
