Biz Buzz: ‘A’ for Amaz…ing
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 12:18 AM April 12, 2017
With several conglomerates investing in the logistics industry, one would not be blamed for thinking that some of the country’s richest and most influential businessmen and families know something that the rest of us don’t.
Well—the latest scuttlebutt is true—they may very well see a trend that mere mortals can’t. At least not yet.
In particular, we’re talking about the recent disclosure of the SM group to take a significant minority stake in logistics firm 2GO, in partnership with the firm’s newly installed president, Dennis Uy.
Of course, it makes perfect sense for the country’s wealthiest family which owns the country’s largest retail network to invest in 2GO. The goal, Biz Buzz learned, was for SM to expand their retail empire far beyond the physical boundaries of their ubiquitous shopping malls. How far? Let’s just say “far enough to reach every single home in the Philippines with a postal code.”
That’s where 2GO will come in. Never mind that the firm has 40-year-old vessels that are expensive to operate and maintain. What SM wants with 2GO is its delivery network that employs thousands of couriers nationwide. That’s the firm’s crown jewel. And just imagine being able to order online any item from any SM department store, hardware, pharmacy, supermarket—or any retailer in any SM mall, for than matter—and have the item delivered to your front door.
Impressive plans? Yes.
But Biz Buzz learned that this scenario didn’t even scratch the surface. SM has bigger plans.
How much bigger? Well… how about Filipino consumers being able to order anything from a firm that is commonly known as “the world’s largest internet-based retailer,” both in terms of sales and market capitalization?
How about the country’s biggest retailer entering into a partnership with the world’s biggest online retailer, and using a newly acquired logistics firm to deliver the goods to Filipino consumers? No more waiting for weeks on end for local orders to be shipped to the Philippines from the US. And no more irritating problems with Customs examiners suddenly assessing thousands of pesos in additional tariffs on your orders or books or gadgets.
Does that sound impressive enough? Biz Buzz thinks so. The plan is at a very early stage, of course, but it is bound to happen sooner or later. Which online retailer are we talking about? We’re told it starts with the letter “A.” Amazing, isn’t it? —DAXIM L. LUCAS

Has anyone tried Johnny Air's ICEBOX consolidation? Is it cheaper compared to POBox air shipping?

Johnny Air's package consolidation is back again ... they must've lost a lot of customers when they stopped it ...

I woke up from an alert in my Amazon app that my order was not delivered today "delivery attempted"
This is the first time I got this notice in the 15 yrs that I've been buying at Amazon
I called my Aunt immediately and she told me she was just at home the whole day so she does not know why the package was not delivered. I contacted Amazon through chat and they just told me that the package will be delivered on the next business day. That was enough for me to know.
BUT they offered me $10 for the inconvenience! WOW! Excellent customer service from Amazon as always
I love the Amazon App pala
