We usually buy groceries from regular physical supermarkets, and I’ve always preferred shopping in a brick-and-mortar store rather than online. Despite the accessibility e-commerce offers and the surge in its capabilities, tactile experiences we get in physical retail stores make a difference. There’s a lot to explore and it’s nice to be able to see, touch, smell, and feel the products. Sometimes, brands feature new items or new variants of existing products and offer free samples of food for tasting or small packs for consumers to test and take home.
The only time I was swayed to try online shopping for food stuff was two months ago–when I was put in bed rest. Since I was stuck at home, honestbee has become one of my go-to applications to get things I wanted.
Honestbee is Asia’s fastest growing food service powered by community and technology. It is an online grocery concierge service that offers delivery services across different specialty stores, supermarkets, and farm-to-table marketplaces with a team of trained personal shoppers or “shopper bees” and riders or “delivery bees.”
Store categories include grocery and wet market, local delicacies, wines and spirits, desserts, medicine, internal groceries and deli, flowers and party needs, office, school and art supplies, babies and maternity, pet care, home and hardware, healthy choices, personal care, and there’s even payments and services. The availability of stores though depends on the location of the delivery address or the postal code.
Honestbee can be accessed both via desktop and mobile. The interface is intuitive and the app is easy to use, which makes shopping a snap. Searching for pantry essentials is faster, there’s no need to queue to pay, and more time can be saved as there’s no need to brave the traffic and drive to the store. If something on your shopping list isn’t available in the store, the Honestbee shopper will contact you to ask about alternatives. The app also lets you choose a backup for every item upon checkout.
This holiday season, when you just want the comfort of your own couch, getting honestbee run errands and deliver items at your doorstep would be wise. It’s also a great help when you need something urgently as they offer same-day delivery. What’s more, there’s free delivery for orders over P3000.
Another good thing about honestbee is that the number of partner retailers keeps on adding up almost every month as they expand their business offering. Recently, Shopwise has joined honestbee. Prices are exactly the same as in the store!
In the Philippines, Shopwise has pioneered the hypermarket concept in 1998. It is known for its affordable quality, everyday freshness, budget-friendly variety, and fast, friendly, and fun service. “We’re living up to our promise of giving our customers more choices for their online grocery shopping, especially if they are looking for more affordable options for their daily essentials” said Crystal Gonzalez, Managing Director of honestbee Philippines.
With the partnership, users may now choose from Shopwise’s wide selection of groceries, clothes, toys, and home essentials that are easy on the budget. These include notable brands such as Papa Alfredo, Sunharvest, SnapMax and Southdale Farm, and also quality affordable wines from French Cellar, Wine Makers Reserve, and Red Peak to complete your holiday dinners.
As you know, holiday shopping in the Philippines can be stressful and exhausting. If you don’t have the time to go to the malls or supermarket this season, shopping on honestbee would be a wise move. So go on, give it a try and free up your time for more family bonding activities. 🙂
Shopwise is now on honestbee!
