A seemingly mundane delivery task in Lucknow turned into a viral phenomenon when a Porter delivery agent documented one of his “most interesting” assignments on video—delivering a package just a few meters away within the same residential complex. The video, which shows the delivery being made from Tower 17 to Tower 19, quickly captured the attention of social media users across India. What made the incident noteworthy wasn’t the distance, but the conversation it sparked about convenience, customer privacy , modern dependence on app-based services, and the ethics of gig work.
The delivery, which earned the agent Rs 38, involved transporting a copy of the newly released football video game FC 25, but it delivered far more than just a parcel—it delivered a mirror to the complexities of digital-age expectations.
Porter agent’s tower-to-tower delivery sparks online buzz
In the clip posted on social media, the delivery agent is heard saying, “Aaiye dikhate hai ek behtareen sa order aaya hai” (Come, let me show you an excellent order I’ve received), before revealing that the job required him to carry a parcel from Tower 17 to Tower 19—essentially walking across a gated society. The content, lighthearted and humorous in tone, quickly resonated with thousands online. While many laughed at what they perceived to be an extreme example of urban laziness, others were intrigued by the deeper implications of such tasks being outsourced.
Convenience or complacency? Porter delivery fuels online divide
The incident opened a broader debate on how much convenience consumers should expect—or pay for—in today’s hyperlocal gig economy. On one hand, critics mocked the customer for placing an order that could have been handled with a short walk. “Nawab!” exclaimed one user, drawing attention to what they saw as unnecessary extravagance. On the other hand, others questioned whether the ridicule was warranted at all. The delivery service exists to provide ease, regardless of distance. Should customers be judged for using it exactly as intended?
Privacy concerns and ethical backlash
The social media response wasn’t universally positive. A significant number of viewers raised serious concerns over customer privacy and professional conduct. By recording and posting a delivery for public amusement, many believed the agent had crossed a line. Social media users tagged Porter, the logistics company, demanding accountability. One comment read, “This is not right. Please train your employees properly. He is getting paid on one hand and mocking the customer with the other.”
Porter responded promptly, stating, “We are looking into this and thank you for bringing it to our attention.” The company has yet to announce any disciplinary action but acknowledged the importance of addressing the concerns raised.
Netizens defend customer in viral porter video
Not all reactions were critical. Some users advocated for a more compassionate approach. “Maybe it’s a young mother who can’t leave her kids,” one comment speculated. “Or an elderly person who has mobility issues.” Others pointed out that the platform facilitated the service, someone paid for it, and someone completed the job. “What’s the harm if everyone involved benefited?” another user asked. These voices emphasized the need to avoid assumptions about a customer’s circumstances.
