Do You Use Delivery Apps? (Grab, Lalamove, Mr Speedy etc.)

[BratPAQ]

Weird afternoon for me. I have an extra phone with an active prepaid smart sim. I just keep that by the bed. No one knows the number to that sim since it's really just used for data in case my main line gets busted for some reason. This afternoon i got surprised hearing the phone ring so i hurried to check who is was. A delivery guy from Borzo saying he's at Robinsons waiting for my pickup. I asked him to repeat and confirmed what he said. Well, I'm not in Robinsons and I've not requested any pickup as well. So i simply told him he dialed the wrong number. After the call, i was surprised there were already 3 different numbers calling my prepaid number and a few messages from 2 different numbers. The number whose call i answered had a text saying he's from Speedy and that he's at the Robinsons grocery already waiting for my pickup. What confused me was in the call he said Borzo but in the SMS it was Speedy. I later found out after googling that Speedy is now Borzo so he's probably still getting used to the new name. The second number who messaged me though was from someone saying he's from Borzo and asking me where i am in karangalan. This number was also attempting a call but i didn't hear so i wasn't able to speak with him but i replied to his message that he got the wrong number and person. So it's actually confusing and alarming if there's some sick person using my prepaid number and giving it out making pickup reservations as a prank. I don't know if the 2 numbers in the SMS i got were from 1 delivery person or of they're 2 different people booked by 1 sicko who used a random number and just happened to be my extra sim.

Your prepaid number were probably refurbished number. May ari dati ng number na yan and the telco thought deactivated na yung number so they released and sell it again.

Happened to me too. I bought a prepaid globe for just bed side phone and a spare internet if my smart have no signal. Then a lot of text came in reminder of overdue loans. Then I'm receiving calls from CSR.

Nakakatawa yung isang CSR nung sinabi ko na wrong number at hindi ako yung name na hinahanap nya. Ibigay ko daw name ko para ma log sa files nila. I told him no. Hahaha

call your telco and ask what's a'happenin'.
kasi, kung hindi ka papalag ngayon, they might later on try something more adventurous.

one other possibility, is that it was an honest mistake.
someone might have mistakenly given your number. the right number might be just a digit different from yours.

I chatted with Borzo/Mr. Speedy first. I told them of an incident that happened yesterday. So they asked for the phone number I used. Gave it to them 09xxxxxxx444. CSR goes hold on blah blah. Comes back and tells me that for yesterday the only number that almost matches mine was 09xxxxxx455. Gives complete name of the client and says that the pickup and delivery was successful already. I had a WTF??? moment. Imagine if let's say my name is Eric Manuel with number 09189001000 and I call because of that same issue then the CSR would tell me "It's not you sir, it was a mistake and that the intended client is Joy dela Cruz with number 091890010011." What the hell? They just gave me a name and phone number! I guess we now know which delivery service to avoid.

It seems foodpanda is having trouble with their business, many vendors are leaving foodpanda, also riders are complaining for low delivery fee. Malaki hati ng foodpanda sa vendors, dami fees and mukhang malaki din hati sa delivery riders, almost half to less than half.

Good riddance. Matagal ko na uninstall Food Panda. Ang palpak saka mas professional daw ang Grab riders.

[viper888]

Grab is much better but a monopoly is not good, hopefully it gets a good buyer

I use Food Panda for Masuki only

Foodpanda might exit the Philippines - Technobaboy

The report also said that Foodpanda is undergoing another round of layoffs to become “more efficient and more agile”. This is the third time that the company has cut jobs since September 2022, when it laid off employees across its global operations.

Foodpanda’s move to sell part of its Southeast Asian business comes as the food delivery industry faces increased competition and challenges in the post-pandemic era. According to a report by tech research firm Momentum Works, Grab is the dominant player in the Philippines with 60% of the gross merchandise value in 2022, followed by Foodpanda with 40%

Ordered pork sinigang from Max's but got bangus instead. Already filed a complaint sa Grab but then Max's contacted me directly and refunded me the 56-peso price difference thru GCash. An hour later, Grab offers me a 200-peso refund! I guess the 200 would've been Max's penalty for effing up the order kaya inunahan nila si Grab. I cancelled the complaint na lang.

How come Grab's rates are really high now?

Last week I tried to Grab but the rate was high so I tried Lala and it was much lower. I noticed lang namimili ang Lala drivers, had to add P50 tip for someone to get my booking. I thought it was just a surge but today I used Lala again kasi the rate of Grab to Greenhills was P200+ (it used to be P150 to P170), I checked with Lala and it was only P120!

I-flex ko lang itong kapitbahay naming mahilig magpa-deliver. Lahat na yata ng delivery app ino-orderan. Ang siste ang layo ng gate nila sa house proper mismo. Kaya sigaw ng sigaw mga riders kasi di naman marinig ang katok-katok lang sa gate. Ewan ko naman bakit di na lang magpa-install ng doorbell. Kung hindi praktikal ang proper doorbelll, marami namang nabibili ngayon na wireless doorbells. Hindi ko lang din maintindihan kung may pagka-masokista din talaga itong nag-oorder dahil malamang tinatawagan naman sa phone pero bakit inaabot ng ilang minuto bago lumabas.

Scam sa mga rider. Yung customer at yung vendor isang tao lang. Mag o order yung fake customer sa isang fake shop, yung fake shop magpapa bayad muna sa lalamove rider ng gcash bago ibaba yung item from the building ng staff. Kailangan daw ma transfer muna yung gcash para ma record muna at magawan ng resibo.

Opkors walang bababang tao o item after mag transfer ng lalamove rider. Maliliit na nga kita ng mga ganitong nagta tyaga kumita ng maayos, lolokohin pa.

dapat kasi higpitan na nila yung registration dyan.. dapat yan may government ID na papakita to register.. hanggang wala pa yung batas sa sim card registration..

i agree.
there's gun license... driver license... PRC license... marriage license...
why no SIM registration?
what was the reason again, why government wouldn't require this?

it was Vetoed by Du30.. quoting..

He was constrained to disagree with the inclusion of social media in the measure, without providing proper guidelines and definitions thereto, as the same may give rise to a situation of dangerous state intrusion and surveillance threatening many constitutionally protected rights,” said presidential spokesperson Martin Andanar.

He added that the president wanted to ensure that new laws are consistent with constitutional provisions guaranteeing individual privacy and free speech.

May pinasa na batas sana para dyan. Kaso siningitan ng social media registration yung sim card registration. Kaya na veto.

Just saw this story on tiktok. The seller used lalamove to deliver her items worth ₱50k. Pickup was 5pm the day before, the next day 3am hindi pa rin ma contact yung rider considering na 30 minutes lang yung delivery distance.

Apparently na nakaw pala cellphone ni rider and he had to buy a new phone to install the lalamove app.

Naintindihan ko panic ni ate seller. Does the rider know what items are they carrying? Do they know the value? I would assume the phone was stolen before 6pm, the rider have few hours left that day to buy a new phone or maybe even borrow a phone from his family or friend. Maybe he had to borrow money pa to buy a new phone? Sounds fishy, baka nagka interest si rider or he didn't think the customer would be very worried for a ₱50k worth of parcel.

I always thought travelling via motorcycle would take longer (since you can't pass highways) but since I started using delivery apps, I am shocked at how much faster motorcycles travel vs 4 wheels.

Kung dito-dito lang sa Metro Manila, mas mabilis pa rin ang motor.

Looking at the picture, mukhang 4 wheels ang may dala nito sa dami at laki ng boxes. Sabi rin na sa may C3 sya nanakawan, baka dumaan sya dun ng nakababa ang bintana.
