Lunar New Year is approaching, online shopping and delivery services in Ha Tinh are flourishing, providing attentive service, fully meeting the shopping needs of customers, especially office ladies.
With the development of technology and social networks, today, housewives do not necessarily have to go to the market or supermarket in the traditional way to shop anymore. Instead, just sitting in one place, women can also shop for their family a basic Tet with the "online market".
Taking advantage of free time after work, Ms. Le Thi Xuan (far right) and her colleagues consult online shopping sites to choose Tet shopping.
Ms. Le Thi Xuan (Tran Phu Ward - Ha Tinh City) said: "The year-end work at the office is too busy so we cannot go to the market or supermarket to shop. My colleagues only take advantage of the time to order handmade food and household items online to save time. From clothes, shoes, food to home decorations, everything is available on websites and Facebook, so it is very convenient."
To save costs and make it convenient for both sellers and buyers, Ms. Xuan and her colleagues also choose to order from the same store or tell each other the addresses of reputable acquaintances.
The demand for handmade food increases during the Tet holiday, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nguyet (owner of an online shop in Bac Ha ward - Ha Tinh city) has received many orders.
Also prioritizing online shopping, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Yen (Thach Quy Ward - Ha Tinh City) shared: "Not only during Tet but also on normal days, I have the habit of going to the "online market" because I don't have much time to choose. This year, I called to order essential items for my family through acquaintances. I just need to register the quantity and pick-up time, and they will deliver to my home near Tet."
The demand for shopping during Tet is high, while customers' time is limited, so shop owners, supermarkets, and online shopping sites have changed their customer service plans. Specializing in ready-made food and chicken sticky rice offerings, Ms. Le Thi Bich Ngoc (Fb Le Ngoc's Kitchen) planned to receive Tet orders a month ago.
Ms. Le Thi Bich Ngoc has prepared a diverse menu to meet the needs of customers during Tet through online sales.
Ms. Ngoc said: “Every year, I have to close the order early to have time to prepare materials, mobilize family members, and hire acquaintances to work together to ensure quality and progress. Up to now, we have received hundreds of orders in the city and neighboring areas; we will deliver the goods from the 23rd to the 29th of Tet according to customer requirements.”
Although not a professional trader, near Tet, many people also take the opportunity to post items such as offerings, fresh flowers, ornamental plants, home decorations... on their personal Facebook pages to earn extra income.
Most items are ready to serve consumers on the "online Tet market".
The bustling online shopping activities have also led to an equally bustling delivery service. With no time to deliver to customers like usual, many online shop owners have contacted to find more shippers to transport orders in the upcoming days before Tet.
According to shipping companies, the period from late November to Lunar New Year is always the peak period for mail and parcel delivery. The number of orders during this time will increase by 30-50% compared to normal days of the year. To meet customers' shipping needs, shipping companies must add delivery staff.
Online shop owners focus on quality and invest in product design to satisfy customers.
Mr. Nguyen Huy Thinh - a shipper said: "Although the company has added staff, there are a lot of orders at the end of the year, the pressure on shipping time is also greater, so we have to focus on the delivery stage to ensure that goods and parcels are not lost and reach customers as quickly as possible."
Lunar New Year is an important holiday and the biggest shopping occasion of the year for people. Online shopping, payment and delivery have made it much more convenient for consumers, especially during busy work times. However, to become a smart online consumer, customers need to choose reputable sales addresses, carefully check the product before receiving the goods to avoid buying poor quality products, affecting health when used.
