Delivery partner avoids ringing doorbell to not wake sleeping baby, internet praises his thoughtful gesture
ETimes | July 19, 2026 6:39 PM CST
A simple act of kindness by the delivery partner has moved the whole internet. An Instagram influencer, whose handle is @dakshanmom, uploaded an absolutely heart-warming video on how a midnight delivery turned out to be a memorable experience, thanks to a random act of kindness from a stranger.
The kind gesture
Posting about the event, the Instagram influencer admitted that she was shocked that she had run out of her baby’s diapers. Having not made an order for that in the morning, she realized she would have no diapers left at home and, hence, ordered the same on Flipkart Minutes at 10 PM.
Within half an hour, the delivery person reached her house. But rather than just ringing the doorbell and delivering the parcel, he rang her up and simply asked, "Madam, please open the door."
When she opened the gate, she asked him why he opted to call her rather than ring the bell. His answer instantly moved her heart. He told her that he realized it was an order of diapers and thought that there should be a baby there. He said he wanted to avoid waking the baby up, that is why he called.
She said that the little thing has left such an impression on her since it proved to be a sign of great care and consideration from the man's side, considering the fact that it goes beyond just delivering the package. She shared that in today's world, when everyone is in a hurry, it was heartening to see that someone thought of the baby that he has never seen before.
The video became very popular, as many internet users congratulated the delivery partner on his caring nature and presence of mind.
One of the commenters stated, “It’s acts of kindness like these that bring back your faith in humanity.” Someone else said, “This isn't just about the diapers, but a memorable moment too.” Quite a few were thankful for his consideration since parents understand how tough it is to put the baby to sleep once again when it gets disturbed.
However, there were many more who felt that such behaviour should be appreciated and recognized, especially those working in the delivery service industry where they have to work within tight deadlines. They felt that the delivery executive went above and beyond what was expected of him.
The heart-warming tale teaches us all that the smallest acts of not ringing the doorbell, in this case make a big difference to anyone’s day.
