Today (2 November 2021), Grab announced a new partnership with e-commerce platform Lazada, which will see Lazada sellers providing instant and/or same-day delivery services for online shoppers in Singapore via GrabExpress.
For a start, more than 50 Lazada sellers on the e-commerce platform have instant delivery service through GrabExpress, an instant parcel delivery service by Grab (service's infographic at the bottom of the article).
Lazada plans to bring more sellers on board, although it wasn't specified by when and how many more. Current retailers participating in instant delivery services include the likes of Aroma Truffle, JBL, Shine Korea, as well as local sellers covering major product categories.
For Lazada shoppers, the "Instant" option pops up when selecting a preferred delivery mode during the checkout process, provided that the product is eligible and it's from a participating seller.
The instant delivery fees start at S$3.19 for the first 5km, scaling up with a maximum delivery distance of 30km. Grab provided an appendix to its Lazada X GrabExpress fee structure, to which we've summarised below:
Distance | Delivery fee |
---|---|
0 to 5km | S$3.19 |
5.01 to 10km | S$5.34 |
10.1 to 20km | S$8.55 |
20.01 to 30km | S$11.77 |
Instant delivery is only available on weekdays. Orders placed before 3 PM will be delivered on the same day.
