After circuit breaker measures were implemented in Singapore, many found themselves shopping for their groceries on sites such as RedMart.
As such, Lazada’s grocery arm found itself having to introduce measures such as an area-based delivery system instead of its usual two-hour time slot to ensure that Singaporeans are able to receive their essential groceries at least once every three days.
