Understanding Lalamove’s Flexible Delivery Options
To address the different needs of Lalamove users in the Philippines, we have three delivery options to choose from:
| Option | Best For |
|---|---|
| Priority | Urgent deliveries |
| Regular | Day-to-day needs |
| Pooling | Budget-friendly, non-urgent orders |
Note that both priority and regular orders may be co-loaded only if the user gave consent to the partner driver matched to their booking.
