AEON CO. (M)
BHD. and honestbee have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to form a
business alliance. This alliance will
enable both parties to develop and formulate new services that better match the
rapidly changing customer demand, by establishing a framework of cooperation to
merge their unique strengths. The collaboration stems from the growing trend of
online purchase pattern and a desire to innovate its offering to enhance value
for Malaysians.
As the pilot
project of this alliance, AEON Mid Valley store will initiate honestbee’s
personal shopper service. Customer who
live within 17 km radius from the store will enjoy a minimum 1-hour delivery
service for the purchase of listed grocery products (subject to availability of
the timeslot).
Mouse mommy also
be one of the shopper to use this service as in working in Petaling Jaya. I
just register honestbee account and select AEON icon.
As in Chinese New Year
coming soon and AEON was having promotion on 100 plus, Yeo's and HomeSoy
drinks, mouse mommy was choose the products and put in cart and pay. Oh ya! I
also choose the 1 hour time slot that I available to received the shopping
goods.
Yes! Mouse mommy
was happily received my shopping goods safely without physical shop at shopping
mall.
Save my time, petrol and parking especially for a mom with two young kids
would be really helpful! Thanks AEON Mid Valley and honestbee for the great
move!
