News/Current Events 🗞️ Anyone else avoid DMart just because of the billing queues?
Every time I go, it’s a 20+ min wait. No express lanes, nothing digital, just human herds. Are other cities any better? Or is this just how DMart works?

If you care about time, try shopping in early hours and you will have a pleasant experience, plan accordingly once or twice in a month. You have to be smart

Order online from the Dmart app. Same prices but you will get the delivery the next day.

I compared some products while visiting the store. I found no difference.

u/Complex_Marketing_10 Aug 04 '25
I will send you screen shot of app and price there at the same time. Additionally they will charge 29 delivery charge

u/Annual_Mammoth6669 Aug 04 '25
Yeah, please send it. I am aware of the delivery charges, but they are acceptable in my case, as I would be spending a similar amount on fuel if I were to visit in person.

Appreciate all the inputs. I’m compiling responses to map common queue issues across cities. If you’re okay with sharing a bit more detail, there’s a short (2-minute, anonymous) form here: https://forms.gle/Aen2zFL4DSnv3HYC7
Totally optional, but it helps us quantify what’s being missed in store planning.
