Actively responding to epidemic prevention policies, Shopee and Lazada accelerate delivery

Since the implementation of the policy directive to increase social distancing in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on August 23, 2021, a large number of shops have closed and the transportation industry has been hit, but Shopee and Lazada have achieved good results in the face of the epidemic in Vietnam.

Shopee conscientiously implemented the epidemic prevention instructions of the Vietnamese Prime Minister, increased the number of sorting warehouse staff to complete orders, and effectively coordinated with transportation partners to quickly deliver goods to people in multiple regions. According to the total number of delivered orders released by Shopee, hundreds of thousands of consumers have shopped online on Shopee. Shopee emphasized that this result was due to the timely information support from the authorities and the flexibility of Shopee and its partners in management and operations.

The person in charge of Shopee said that it will closely coordinate and cooperate with the local health department to regularly disinfect the warehouse in strict accordance with regulations, while minimizing the working areas of employees to prevent the epidemic. In addition, Shopee's delivery team and delivery partners are also equipped with brand logo kits and Covid-19 vaccination certificates, and regularly remind drivers to comply with 5K regulations and contactless delivery.

Similarly, Lazada has also restarted its delivery service in Ho Chi Minh City to meet people's shopping needs for daily necessities. Since August 30, 2021, Lazada has successfully delivered tens of thousands of orders to the people of Ho Chi Minh City, and this number is expected to continue to increase in the coming days.

Currently, Lazada is actively coordinating with partners to expand product supply and continue to meet consumer demand, especially for agricultural products and fresh products, which are the most concerned food needs of consumers, to ensure the consumption needs of residents and let everyone stay at home to fight the epidemic with peace of mind.

In addition, Lazada also provides a full range of small home medical equipment products such as thermometers, health scales, blood pressure monitors, blood oxygen concentration clamps, medical masks, etc. to prevent accidents during home quarantine. In preparation for students to start school, Lazada provides more than 80,000 genuine book products, including textbooks, reference books, and foreign books; as well as more than 400,000 learning tool products: notebooks, drawing tools, craft materials, pens, etc.

Understanding the difficulties faced by consumers during the epidemic, Lazada has jointly deployed with sellers to launch a series of discounts of up to 50%. Shipping costs are waived for orders over 150,000 VND. This has been implemented in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Long An and other places.
