How do you keep your pantry stocked without leaving home? Use an online grocery delivery service.
Online grocery stores in the Philippines have been around for a while. Some of these online shops even started operating before the COVID-19 outbreak. More online supermarkets have opened during the pandemic. Suddenly, Filipinos have realized their value now that the country is under quarantine.
So that you don't risk spreading or getting infected with the coronavirus, just stay at home and order your needed food and supplies from online grocery shops with delivery service.
What is Online Grocery Delivery?
Online grocery delivery is a web-based service that makes it convenient and safe for people to order groceries, food, and other household essentials and then have them delivered to their homes.

How Does Online Grocery Delivery Work?
Online ordering is quickly and easily done using a smartphone or laptop through the store's e-commerce site, mobile app, Facebook/Instagram page, online order form, and/or partner online shops.
Usually, online shops accept cash on delivery. But more stores have shifted to safer, contactless payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards, e-wallets, and online bank transfers. Once the customer's payment is confirmed, the items are gathered by a personal shopper, the order is processed, and the delivery is arranged.
Supermarkets, delivery apps, online marketplaces, and stand-alone e-commerce stores (typically small businesses) provide online grocery delivery in the Philippines. They deliver goods through their own vehicle fleet and/or third-party logistics providers like LBC Express and Lalamove.
These businesses usually charge a fee for their grocery delivery service. Some stores allow customers to pick up their order instead to save on delivery fees.

Yes, grocery and food deliveries are safe during a coronavirus pandemic, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).[1] Nothing to worry about as long as your online grocery delivery service provider practices proper personal and food hygiene. Just make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after accepting your groceries.
