Zepto's App & Customer Support Are Beyond Frustrating!😠

I placed an order worth ₹400 on Zepto and it's been over an hour with no delivery due to supposed "rainfall"—except it's not raining! To make matters worse, their app has no way to contact customer support or talk to an agent. No chat, no help, just pure frustration.😤😤
