Why Do You Pay So Much for Delivery?

Have you ever stopped to think about how much you're truly spending on food delivery? It may seem convenient at first, but the hidden costs quickly add up—and they’re draining your wallet faster than you realize. Here’s the cold truth: every time you order delivery, you're not just paying for food. You’re handing over your hard-earned cash for service fees, delivery charges, and even inflated menu prices!

Many delivery services sneak in hidden fees and commissions that inflate the final price of your meal without you even noticing. What might seem like a small convenience fee here or a couple of extra bucks there can accumulate into thousands over the course of a year. And let's not forget that restaurants hike up prices on delivery platforms to cover their own costs, so you're paying far more than you should for the exact same meal. Over time, these hidden costs snowball, draining your budget while giving you less value in return.It's not uncommon to find yourself paying nearly double the cost of the meal itself just to have it delivered. And when you consider how frequently most people rely on delivery services, this extra spending can seriously affect your financial wellbeing.

Do the math! For a single delivery order, you might be spending an additional LKR 400-600 without even realizing it! Multiply that by a few times a week, and by the end of the year, you could be throwing away —nearly LKR 250,000! Let’s put it into perspective. Imagine wasting nearly LKR 250,000 a year just on unnecessary delivery fees. That’s the equivalent of months' worth of groceries, a vacation, or a significant chunk of your savings—gone.

And that’s if you’re only ordering a few times a week! For frequent users, the costs could be even higher, putting a serious dent in your finances. Imagine ordering delivery four or five times a week. Those fees and extra charges start multiplying at an alarming rate. What begins as an occasional indulgence quickly turns into a constant drain on your budget. Every time you place an order, you're hit with delivery fees, service charges, and sometimes even surge pricing. These expenses add up fast, and before you know it, you’re spending thousands more each year just to have food brought to your door. The convenience of delivery starts to lose its appeal when you realize how much it’s costing you in the long run. That "affordable" meal becomes far more expensive after all the extra costs are added in.
