You Can Now Get an honestbee shopper to Shop For You In Taiwan

 Online concierge shopping isn’t exactly a new thing ; large retail chain stores have had them in some degree over the years though they all source their produce from that said store chain which may not necessarily be the closest to where you’re ordering from nor the freshest.

Customised concierge shopping services on the other hand work in a different fashion and work with a number of different retail chains to source produce and they hire professionals – no, not the kind with Jean Reno – to source your merch to make sure it’s the freshest available or on tap which is where new online concierge grocery shopping site honestbee comes into the picture. The trick is that they have teams of shoppers who compile your order so that they’re as fresh as possible and they’re even capable of within-the-next-hour delivery times; perfect if you’re out of chips for game night.

Starting off in Singapore with a fast expansion to Hong Kong and Niseko Japan, just near the tail end of last year, they’ve just set up shop in the land of delectably delicious pineapple tarts and beer as well as a veritable cornucopia of insanely delectable street food. The service is available online here and via an app on iOS and Android and for now until 7th February – that’s Chinese New Year eve for you lot out there – shoppers who spend NT$199 can get free delivery off their purchases worth NT$99. The service currently covers Shilin Da’an, Xinyi and Sungshan and will expand to further regions later on. The service is pretty comprehensive with everything from meat, fruit, veg to snacks and condiments too depending on which region you’re from. Alas, they’re only in Singapore, Hong Kong, Niseko and the aforementioned parts of Taiwan for now but they’re slated to arrive in Malaysia sometime this year.
