Lazada and Grab partner to launch same-day delivery service

Recently, according to foreign media reports, Lazada will cooperate with Grab to provide same-day delivery services for consumers in Singapore. The plan will allow Lazada sellers to use GrabExpress to deliver products to buyers on the same day.

It is reported that more than 50 Lazada merchants can now choose same-day delivery through GrabExpress, including Aroma Truffle, JBL and Shine Korea. It is worth noting that the service is only available on weekdays and buyers must place orders before 3 pm. Same-day delivery is also only available for delivery locations within 30 kilometers of the selected merchant.

Gerald Glauerdt, chief logistics officer of Lazada Singapore , said convenience and a smooth purchasing journey are crucial to the online shopping experience, part of which includes providing viable delivery options to meet the needs of different customers.

In addition, Gerald Glauerdt pointed out: " Currently, Lazada is introducing same-day delivery services for the growing group of consumers who need fast delivery of products. As the year-end season approaches, we expect more consumers to choose same-day delivery as they prepare last-minute gifts for their loved ones. From the trial run, we found that electronics, household goods and party supplies are popular, so we can see that customers are finding the new service effective. "

Subsequently, Lazada and Grab jointly issued a statement , saying that this partnership is closely related to the booming free economy. Consumers increasingly want to receive the products they purchased on the same day or almost immediately, so the speed of product delivery is the most important. According to PwC 's June 2021 global consumer survey data , "fast and reliable delivery" is the most important factor consumers consider when purchasing. At the same time, a McKinsey report also showed that about a quarter of consumers are willing to pay more for faster or same-day delivery services.

Grab Singapore's general manager of delivery, Ngiam Xin Wei, said last year more businesses have been leveraging GrabExpress for same-day fulfilment of their orders ' last mile deliveries. "As a result, we have launched programmes such as GrabExpress Towkay Club, which are designed to help small businesses scale up their operations. We are excited to expand the reach of GrabExpress through this partnership with Lazada, which will provide a wide range of businesses with on-demand access to deliveries and provide more revenue opportunities for our delivery partners .
