Dear Business Users
In these extraordinary circumstances, we continue to ramp up our operation capacity with enhanced safety measures to support your business needs. During the past two months, we have also intensified our efforts and made heavy investments to:
- Upgrade infrastructure to increase delivery slots by 25%
- Hire and train additional 150 pickers and packers.
The service fee is applied to partially cover the costs of processing, picking, and packing online grocery orders. This fixed fee is a subsidised rate considering the extensive resources involved in fulfilling your orders, including cold chain management, transportation, manpower and maintaining stringent food safety and quality measures.

In order to provide more flexibility for our business users to vary their basket sizes and optimise savings for their online purchases, the new multi-tiered delivery fee structure (incl. Service Fee) will be as follows:

| $300 and above | Waived |
| Between $59 to $300 | $3.99 |
| Below $59 | $8.99 |
