Shopee, one of Malaysia’s largest e-commerce platforms, is bringing next day delivery to its users. The platform will be offering next day deliveries for Peninsular Malaysia excluding Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terrengganu through its Shopee Xpress service. The offer kicked off on 18 February 2021 as the platform geared up for its upcoming 3.3 sale.
The next-day delivery offer applies to purchases on Shopee Mart with the “Next-Day Delivery” tag. Keep in mind that your order will also need to be placed before 12PM daily to make use of the service. Orders placed after 12PM will be considered orders for the next day and will be delivered the day after. So, if you order at 1 PM on Monday, you’ll be receiving your order on Wednesday. If eligible orders do not make it to their destination by the next day, users will receive a free shipping voucher for their next Shopee Mart purchase.
The new service comes in response to the data reported by iPrice and Parcelhub which showed that Malaysians experienced a 119% increase in delivery times in 2020’s movement control order (MCO). This made Malaysia the country with the longest delivery time for online purchases in the region.
Shopee’s next-day delivery offer is only the tip of the iceberg as the company has been working with partners to facilitate a faster, more convenient delivery process. They have since increased the number of Shopee Xpress drop-off points to more than 300 nationwide with partners such as Parcelhub and Mailboxes Etc (MBE). These new drop-off points are expected to help reduce turnover times. To date, Shopee has successfully reduced delivery times to East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak) from 10 days to 4 days.
During their 3.3 sale, customers can get free shipping with a minimum spend of MYR10. Shopee is also offering daily 50% off deals and bargains from as low as MYR0.33. They will also be working with TV3 for a 3.3 Supermarket Show which will air at 9PM on 3rd March 2021.
