As prices of goods and fuel continue to rise and managing finances becomes crucial, a single mother like Anna tries to make ends meet by practicing strict budgetary practices.
Anna Perocho, a 45-year old sales agent, barely has time to get out and do her groceries, as she does not have the luxury of free time to run errands as a working mom. Even with the work-from-home set-up, she still has to cook for her kids and tend to household chores every now and then.
Sometimes, her 14-year old runs to the nearest sari-sari store to fetch some essentials like cooking oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and some spices. But the most efficient way that saves Anna’s time, energy, and money is through Lalamove’s Pabili service.
This service is for users like Anna who wants to maximize her day-to-day activities. Since every move and choice matters-, Lalamove believes that you can make winning moves while maintaining your budget amid rising prices with this feature.
“I started using Lalamove’s Pabili service to make ends meet, especially during the time of the pandemic where all of us in the house were not allowed to go out,” Anna shared. “It was very convenient because I can do my grocery shopping at the comfort of my own home.”
Continuing to make ends meet, one delivery at a time
Anna is only one of thousands of Filipinos who use courier services like Lalamove to continue to be functional while juggling responsibilities and amid rising prices of goods and fuel. She also explained that she can still stick to her weekly budget because of the ₱2,000-cap on orders for motorcycle deliveries and ₱5,000-cap on deliveries through Lalamove’s sedans.
Small appliances, electronics, and other similar items can also be delivered through the Pabili service and can be tracked easily to make sure items are safe and secure through Lalamove’s built-in GPS tracking. And there’s no need to worry about payment options, as Lalamove offers both cashless and cash on delivery options for all users.
“Apart from doing my errands while at home with the Pabili service, Lalamove also lets users schedule deliveries, allowing you to plan out your transactions ahead and manage your expenses,” Anna explained. “This is beneficial for me who always plans out the day before even starting it.”
The scheduled delivery feature also provides seamless transactions for users and small business owners alike, while saving up on logistical costs.
Furthermore, Anna can follow her budget limit through Lalamove’s low and transparent rates, and continue to track her day-to-day expenses. Even through the Pabili service, Lalamove does not include hidden charges in its transactions.
“I like how transparent the app is. I can see the breakdown of fees per booking, since I always adjust my spending daily,” Anna shared. “It gives me peace of mind that there are no hidden charges when I’m using Lalamove’s services.”
Rewarding your every move
Users like Anna can also enjoy more rewards from transactions through Lalamove’s Rewards Program. For every ₱10 spent on delivery transactions, a user can earn 1 LalaPoint and use this in-app currency to redeem Lalamove Rewards.
Frequent users can enjoy discounts such as ₱50 off for dine-in, take-out, and drive-thru transactions with Jollibee or a ₱500 worth of SM Gift Pass with no expiry. Lalamove’s Rewards Program is also applicable to other partner merchants such as Bo’s Coffee, BonChon, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Chatime, 7-Eleven, Max’s Restaurant, Handyman, and Bruno’s Barbers.
With all these features, Anna, and other Lalamove patrons, can rest assured they can mitigate the impact of high costs of commodities. Doing errands on a budget has never been this easy with the help of the trusted same-day, on-demand delivery service.
