Fortunately, they are encouraged by the saying, "when there is a will, there is a way", and that literally applies to those living in areas within the scope of the quarantine period especially in Lipa City. For residents living in the City For All Seasons, it only takes a smartphone, a strong Internet connection, a Facebook or Viber account, and motorcycle riders to complete their grocery shopping list and having them delivered straight to their homes without worries. From the start of the quarantine period in the city, two major shopping malls - Robinsons Place Lipa and SM City Lipa - have tapped the services of local riders to ensure that what their shoppers need to purchase while on self-isolation is fulfilled without question or doubt.
Heeding the call of the shopping malls is Ala EhXpress Delivery Services, the premiere logistics and delivery service in the city of Lipa which has served a satisfying number of businesses within the city. Customers need to contact Ala EhXpress Delivery depending on where they want to purchase their goods after checking out the list of establishments that are opened in both Robinsons Place Lipa and SM City Lipa via their respective official Facebook pages and Rakuten Viber communities. Then, they can send their own orders directly to Ala EhXpress via SMS through the following details below. Once delivered, they need to pay for their purchases plus a delivery fee through COD transactions. This is basically how you can conveniently purchase your goods without the need to go outside your home works during the quarantine period.

Aside from Ala EhXpress Delivery Services serving only Lipa City, SM City Lipa has also tapped the services of Ayo Riders Batangas for personal shopping and delivery of goods for customers and shoppers in the cities of Tanauan and Sto. Tomas and the municipality of Malvar. Those living in these aforementioned areas can send their orders to Ayo Riders via Facebook Messenger with delivery fees applied. Having local riders as personal shoppers within major shopping malls can be considered among the "new normal" that we have to embrace while the COVID-19 is still at large, but we can all be assured that they can literally become our own lifesavers in the foreseeable future. All they need is your undaunting trust.
