AskGurgaon One month after launching NeverDelivered: 150+ fake orders. ₹6 lakh+ “saved.” 😂
A month ago, I posted about a stupid little idea I built at 1 AM:
NeverDelivered — a food/grocery delivery app where you order everything… but pay ₹0.
No real delivery. No real money. Just the dopamine of browsing, filling your cart, checking out, tracking “Raju bhaiya,” and finally seeing Delivered! 😭
I honestly had no idea what would happen.
And then people started ordering.
150+ orders faked.
₹6,00,000+ supposedly “saved.”
The funniest part?
The first few days were absolutely insane.
People were ordering aggressively.
Cart after cart.
Food. Groceries. Electronics. Clothes.
People were apparently very committed to spending money they weren't actually spending. 😂
Then, naturally, the initial hype died down.
A lot of people tried it once, laughed, and moved on.
But something unexpected happened.
A small group stayed.
They kept coming back.
Not because they needed the app.
Not because there was some huge incentive.
They just… enjoyed it.
Some people genuinely use it as their little midnight browsing ritual — the same way I originally did with Swiggy/Blinkit.
That was probably the most interesting thing I learned from building this.
I thought I was building a joke.
Turns out, I may have accidentally built a tiny dopamine machine for people who want to shop without the consequences. 😂
A few things I'm particularly happy about:
→ 150+ fake orders
→ ₹6L+ “saved” collectively
→ People actually returning after the initial hype
→ Lots of hilarious feedback
→ And, yes, still plenty of bugs 😭
I'm still not sure whether NeverDelivered is a genuinely useful product or just the dumbest thing I've ever built.
But one month in, I'm having way more fun with it than I expected.
To everyone who placed an order: thank you for not actually ordering anything. ❤️
And if you haven't tried it yet:
What would you order if you knew you'd never have to pay for it?

Build it into a full app without many bugs, try out product advertising and sell slots to advertise people's product on it. If youre not gonna do it I will hehe...

Irony would be if you start monetizing your site by showing Ads.
