Do You Use Delivery Apps? (Grab, Lalamove, Mr Speedy etc.)

**_Cathy_** · June 10th, 2020 05:26 AM

Delivery apps have proven to be very valuable during the lockdown. Please share your tips and experiences using delivery apps. Which one do you use the most?

I need to learn to make use of delivery apps as it's supposed to be a fast, convenient and cheap way to send and receive items/goods [emoji4]

yes we use them a lot (sa work)

both grab and lalamove

coz we also sell stuff that can be delivered by motorcycle those apps are super useful to us

parang meron ka motorcycle messenger on standby but you don't need to keep them on the payroll

natutuwa mga customer sobra bilis daw

we can be chatting on messenger right now and the customer can receive his order within an hour or 2

re payment for delivery: either we pay or the customer pays depende sa usap namin

Is there a guarantee or safety mechanism to ensure that your package will not be lost or stolen?

**uls** · June 10th, 2020 10:46 AM

i don't know and i don't mind if there's no "safety mechanism"

if there was some kind of "safety mechanism" or added insurance cost they'll become less appealing for both sender and receiver

the only "safety mechanism" there is is you can get the driver's name, take a photo of his face + plate number of his motorcycle/vehicle

and worst case you can complain mismo sa grab/lalamove

pero sa experience namin wala pa lost or stolen item

ang problema lang na-encounter namin is sometimes a messenger will refuse the item due to size

medyo malaki para sa motor pero may mga nag a-accept parin (so hit or miss)

minsan binibigyan namin ng added tip para tanggapin

if your item is too valuable (like jewelry / watch) then deliver it personally

pag items worth only a few thousand bucks i'm willing to risk having a stranger deliver it for me

--

may mga customer gusto COD

so you gotta look for a messenger who's willing to pay for the item upon pickup (pabili)

amazing that there are messengers who carry around several thousands in cash for that

Kaya ako nagregister as Lalamove driver dahil nakita kong mas bebenta sila ngayong quarantine.

Nagamit ko na rin yung Lalamove as a customer at maayos naman. Namomonitor mo yung driver kasi natatrack mo sya sa app kung nasan na sya. Tapos ngayon may chat feature na rin so pwede na kayo dun mag-usap. Wala pa naman akong nabalitaan na nagoyo sa Lalamove o Grab. Laking tulong nyan sa mga online sellers. Kahit yung sister-in-law ko kinokontrata na ko sa pagdeliver ng soju nya eh.

exactly

which is why we use it to deliver small items to customers

customers don't wanna come to our physical store coz of traffic/hassle, we don't like delivering small items by ourselves for the same reason

kaya etong grab/lalamove napakalaking tulong

buti na lang talaga hindi ako nagpapadeliver ng pagkain sa grab or basta mga applicaton based delivery. Kasi kadiri ilam beses ko na naobservahan pag nag waiting ako sa takeout eh may bigla pipisilin ng ilong nya sa side sabay singa ng gagoh sa walang tao area. Imagine suminga na wala sa lababo para makahugas ng kamay. Ito as in dry punas sa damit. Yikeeees!!!!

Eh paano pa kung saan pa kumakamot yan paano kung kumambyo or nagkamot ng buLbuL?

Kung nagpapadeliver ako mas feel kahit papaano store based. Pero 99.99% eh ako pipickup talaga. So sobrang chamba na magpadeliver ako.

Ito mga motorcycle food delivery apps walang training sa hygiene. Madudungis tingnan.

Ang ignorante mo talaga.

Ang mga fast food usually may "safety seal" na nilalagay. Isang pirasong tape lang sa paper bag pero at least alam mong wala nang humawak na iba maliban sa food crew. Yung iba naka buhol na plastic pa.

Common sense pagkakuha mo ng supot sa delivery man maghuhugas ka ng kamay lalo't pandemya. Hindi naman lahat ng nagpapa-deliver kasing dugyot mo.
