Grab launches beta trial for door-to-door delivery service GrabExpress

The beta will be limited the eastern part of Singapore to the eastern fringe of the Central Business District.

Grab will launch a beta trial for its delivery service GrabExpress in Singapore to serve the growing demand for instant delivery of parcels, an announcement revealed.

The beta will start on 23 October and run from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

The service will be available amongst Grab users and will be limited to delivery from the eastern part of Singapore to the eastern fringe of the Central Business District, according to the announcement. Areas covered will include Changi, Paya Lebar, Marine Parade, Kallang, Bugis and Esplanade.

“The beta version of this service, which makes use of GrabFood’s motorcycle fleet, would also provide greater income opportunities for the delivery-partners, especially during off-peak hours,” Grab said.

Users can access the service through the Grab app wherein they will key in the recipients details and pick up location and make the payment through Grab’s e-wallet, GrabPay. Delivery will be completed within 2 hours of the booking and can be tracked in real time, according to the company.

Prices will start from $6 per delivery with an additional $1 per km delivery distance, and beta prices will not be subject to additional surcharges like Grab’s ride hailing services.

Singapore will be the fifth country within Grab’s ASEAN network to have GrabExpress following Indonesia, Philipppines, Thailand and Vietnam.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
