Top Durian Delivery Tips
It was shared on AsiaOne that there were 6 million durians consumed by Singaporeans in the first half of 2018. The huge drop in prices occurred due to the abundance of durians shipped to Singapore. As a result of the good weather conditions in Malaysia.
While some individuals may enjoy visiting the physical store to personally select and savor durians onsite. Often encounter a cramped and outdoor seating area. It might be uncomfortable for some and will be harder to cater to larger groups of people as these stalls won’t accept reservations beforehand.
While takeaway remains an option, some individuals may prefer to steer clear of filling their cars with the strong odor of durians. And carrying durians onto public transport vehicles in Singapore is prohibited, which inconveniences those without private transportation.
This could be the reason why more Singaporeans are turning to durian delivery services to cater to their durian cravings. There are many durian delivery options for you to choose from and they all make it very convenient and easy to have fresh durian delivered to your doorstep.
Here are some tips to enjoy your durian via delivery
