2. Do you do same day delivery?

Yes, we offer same-day delivery! If you’re located within the Greater Metro Manila Area, we can deliver your items within the day as long as you place your order before our cut-off time of 8:00 PM. 

3. Do you deliver to other parts of the country?

Yes, we deliver nationwide! For clients in Luzon, you can choose bus delivery or LBC for dry goods. Bus delivery is ideal if you order frozen goods. For clients in Visayas and Mindanao, we offer air cargo for frozen items, while dry goods can be shipped via LBC, JnT, and other couriers.

4. Do you have a cut-off for deliveries?

Yes, our order cut-off is at 8:00 PM from Tuesday to Sunday and 6:00 PM on Mondays. If you need to rush an order after the cut-off, we recommend booking your own courier to pick up your order while we're still open.

5. When can I get my order?

We offer same-day delivery for orders, except in cases where items are sold out. If there are missing items, we will contact you to discuss whether you’d like to wait for the restock. Orders placed after the cut-off will be delivered the next day.

Please note that we cannot guarantee a specific delivery time due to factors such as weather, traffic, holidays, courier issues, or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.

6. Can I choose a preferred date and time for delivery?

Absolutely! You can indicate your preferred delivery date and time when placing your order. For optimal coordination, we recommend reaching out to us on mobile or Viber at 0917 192 0346.

9. Do you have curbside pick-up? Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes, we offer curbside pick-up for customers with a designated driver, using a pabili service, or a Lalamove rider, as well as for those who prefer to pick up their online orders themselves. If booking a Lalamove rider, please provide the order number or invoice number and the name used to place the order to ensure we hand over the correct item.

Walk-ins are also very much welcome at all our branches!

10. How do you ensure the safe delivery of sensitive items like ice cream and cakes?

We partner with reliable delivery services to ensure your orders arrive safely. Ice cream is packed in a silver insulated bag to keep it frozen upon delivery. For sensitive items like cakes, we recommend using a sedan for delivery or arranging for someone to pick it up. Based on our experience, cakes are often at risk of damage when delivered via motorcycle. 

11. What happens if I'm not home when my order is delivered?

We typically reach out to clients before delivering their orders. If you’ve approved the delivery, please ensure someone is available to receive the items. If no one is home, the rider will need to return to the store to secure your order. Alternatively, you may contact the rider to arrange for delivery to your actual location. Any additional expenses incurred will be shouldered by the client.

12. Can rider leave my orders with the guard or in the lobby? 

Yes, the rider can leave your orders with the guard or in the lobby, provided you give clear instructions to the guard. However, some lobby guards may not allow orders to be left unattended due to building policies.

Please ensure you check the completeness of your order upon receipt and retrieve it from the guard promptly, especially if the items are perishable or frozen.

13. Can I change delivery address?

Yes, you can change your delivery address! Please inform us before your order is dispatched by calling us or messaging us on Facebook or Instagram. Any difference in the delivery fee must be settled by the client prior to dispatch. If your order is already in transit, the rider may request an additional fee if the new address is farther than the original.
