FOR customers, speed is always king. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are regularly finding ways to deliver goods faster at a more affordable rate, but the challenge arises when customers are far away, which is where delivery services like Lalamove come in.
Launched in July 2020, Lalamove's Long Haul service now offers cost-effective interstate deliveries from Klang Valley, Malacca, Penang or Johor to anywhere within Peninsular Malaysia.
FLEXIBLE AND AFFORDABLE SOLUTIONS
Lalamove's on-demand delivery model allows SMEs, including those with small or inconsistent amounts of business deliveries, to place a long-distance delivery order anytime.
For example, a small business owner that sells customised goods may only receive one to three orders within a month. Regardless, they are able to utilise Lalamove's services for interstate deliveries.
As most traditional logistic firms require a minimum number of deliveries according to contract terms or prescheduled deliveries for long-distance deliveries, Lalamove is poised to be one of the best solutions for small business owners.
With Lalamove's crowdsourced fleet of drivers, business owners will be matched with the vehicle of their choice instantly, ensuring maximum flexibility.
Plus, in a single trip, it is possible to have up to 19 stops en route to the final destination.
The types of vehicles that are available for Long Haul deliveries are 4x4 Pickup, Van 7-ft, Large Van 9-ft, Small Lorry 10-ft, Medium Lorry 14-ft and Large Lorry 17-ft, all of which are well equipped to meet the varying volume and sizes of commodities.
The Long Haul delivery service also comes with additional services that can be tailored to various business needs, such as cold truck cargo, Dismantle and Assembly service, Door-to-Door service and tailgate to help with the loading and unloading of goods.
From textiles to electronics, hardware to raw edibles, and even construction materials to medicine, business owners may rest assured that their items will be delivered safely.
Those using Lalamove's Long Haul will also enjoy affordable rates, as they have a fixed base fare for each vehicle type. However, the fare will be less for each subsequent kilometre, making Lalamove an affordable delivery solution for SMEs.
No contracts are required for Long Haul deliveries, meaning business owners will only need to pay the amount stated by the figure listed on the app on the payment page.
Additionally, those looking to go the traditional route by reserving vehicles beforehand may still do so, and scheduling an order can be done up to thirty days in advance.
