What are Online Delivery Service tips for customers?
1. Review customer feedback
Before engaging yourself in any online services, it is a smart move as a responsible customer to check first the feedback of the services the business offer. Make sure to check both the positive and negative reviews from customers. More positive reviews, the better.
2. Early bird booking
This is especially important if you book for goodies or delicacies that need extra time for preparation. Sometimes the amount of time required for them to prepare the product depends on the demand they have for the day. The higher the demand, the earlier you should book for the service.
3. Make use of discount codes and promos.
Most delivery services these days give promos or discount codes to their customers on special days. Some even provide a reward program based on the customer's loyalty level or the number of times you used their services. So make sure to always check for their promo codes to save some money when availing of their delivery services.
4. Indicate instructions and keep in touch with the rider.
It is essential to keep your lines open whenever you are ordering a delivery service. This will help the rider to deliver your parcels faster and on time. It's also better to leave some instructions for the driver if you have some special requests, especially if the item they will deliver is fragile.
5. Check the available cashless payment options.
These days, most businesses encourage their customers to use cashless payments to minimize physical contact and have safer transactions while delivering their services. It will be best to check first the different cashless payment options they have and choose the one that fits you. Some of the cashless payment options that delivery aggregates use these days are GCash, AllEasy, and Paymaya, aside from credit and debit cards.
The rise of the delivery apps in the Philippines is a great aid, especially in helping our economy to still run even with the several lockdowns being implemented in the different parts of the country and the Metro.
We should just keep in mind to be a responsible customer in availing the services and at the same time, be grateful for the riders and drivers who work hard every day just to deliver our commodities and necessities safely directly in front of our doorsteps.
