Sometimes people tend to forget what they need to buy for themselves or
for others considering that they are too busy with their own daily itinerary.
But since the rainy season is in full swing, more are doing shopping
emergencies just to make sure that they cannot forget. These are just dilemmas
that would surely be addressed by Grab and its new partner Shopee.
One of the most frequently used online-to-offline (OFO) platforms in
Southeast Asia has forged a partnership deal with the leading online shopping
brand in the region to provide same day delivery to Filipino online shoppers in
its newly-forged effort to address shopping emergencies that has literally been
a thorn for busy bums working in the Metro. Through the partnership, Shopee
users living and/or working within Metro Manila can now enjoy same day delivery
from selected sellers once they placed their orders between 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
from Monday to Saturday.
For just a very intriguing fee of Php25.00 which is only effective on a
limited basis, Grab and Shopee can make same day deliveries more convenient and
cost-effective that would render greater savings and instant gratification to
its users. Customers will now be able to reward themselves for a job well done
without any worries just by purchasing their own favorite items and waiting for
them to arrive at your doorstep in just a few hours or so. In the coming
months, more merchants will be able to offer such service including leading
brands that are available in the Shopee Mall.
