Picking Guidelines
For fresh produce, quality and freshness is paramount
• Pick only those without bruises, cuts or mould
• You will want perfect ripeness
• If the selection of produce is poor, you may suggest to
replace or drop the item from the grocery list
For organic products:
• Ensure that it comes with an organic sticker
• Customers who usually pick organic items are careful
and conscientious, so it is nice that they have a
confirmation of their choice
5. Today’s Best Price
• Customers will be charged prices according to our website/app, even if the in-
store prices on the day when you shop for them is higher/lower
• Customers get to enjoy the same website/app prices on the day the order was
placed (E.g. If they place their order on Monday, with delivery for Tuesday, they
will pay Monday’s price)
• Purchase the item regardless of price differences or promotions

8. • To have constant visibility over the items that require replacements, we
recommend that you use a earpiece so that you can scroll and amend the order
at the same time while speaking with the customer
E.g. “The Ambipur Lavender that you ordered is out of stock at the moment.
Would you consider the Ambipur Lemon? It is of the same weight, and the same
price.”
• It will be helpful to provide more information about the replacement, such as
weight, volume and price to help the customer come to a decision

10. 1. Always use separate bags when packing
household items (e.g. cleaning solutions) and
consumables
2. Always place the heaviest items (e.g. cans) at
the bottom, followed by more fragile items at
the top to prevent damaging the groceries
3. Always pack chilled or frozen items together
and use ice packs to ensure that these items
stay cold longer
4. If there are any items with cardboard
packaging, ensure that they are kept separate
from chilled/frozen items so that they do not
get wet due to condensation
Shopping Guidelines
Packing Guidelines
Organise and pack the groceries
(bagged in supermarket plastics bags)

total number of bags before placing it at the staging area

123456 and there are a total of 3 bags that a driver will be picking up
• Remember to place chilled and frozen items into a refrigerator or cold box to
ensure that they are kept cold before delivery
