Shopee is famously known for their monthly sales events. For the month of March, Shopee Malaysia launched their 3.3 Supermarket Sale, and in conjunction the e-commerce marketplace rolled out their Next-Day Delivery service. This initiative promises customers that their purchases on Shopee Mart will be delivered the following day after placing their order.
Customers who wish to apply the Next-Day Delivery service will need to place their orders before noon (12PM). By doing so, their orders will be delivered on the very next day which includes weekends (but not public holidays). The service only applies to any purchases on Shopee Mart with the Next-Day Delivery tag. All states in Malaysia except for Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak will be able enjoy the service via the new integrated shipping service Shopee Xpress.
For the duration of the 3.3 Supermarket Sale, Shopee Malaysia announced that customers whose Next-Day Delivery orders fail to be delivered by the following day will receive a free shipping voucher that can be used on their next purchase.

Expansion To Bring Next-Day Delivery Service

Partnering with Parcelhub and MBE Malaysia brings the total number of drop-off points nationwide to over 300 locations.
Additionally, Shopee Malaysia also widened their network of warehouses, hubs and sorting centres in over 50 strategic locations in the country including areas such as Senawang, Bagan Serai, Batu Pahat, Simpang Ampat, and Bayan Lepas to increase delivery efficiency even to smaller towns and secluded locations.
