With Deepavali just around the corner, the team at Lalamove is ready to make your preparations easier and hassle-free. Being the leading on-demand delivery platform, Lalamove is expecting a sharp rise in delivery requests leading up to the festival week.

Data never lies, and according to Lalamove, delivery requests saw a 20% surge during the week before Deepavali last year. And with festive events, house moves, and a rise in food deliveries, we can expect a similar trend in 2024.

“With Deepavali fast approaching, we’re seeing heightened demand for fast, reliable deliveries. Consumers are completing their home decorations and preparing for large celebrations, while families are also ordering traditional food and supplies, contributing to the rise in delivery volumes,” Jane Teh, Managing Director of Lalamove Malaysia has stated.

Teh also emphasised Lalamove's commitment to affordability, adding, "Beyond ensuring timely deliveries for Deepavali preparations, Lalamove helps customers save with our cost-effective delivery options. This makes last-minute preparations stress-free for our users."

Lalamove’s 24-hour service during Deepavali

Celebrate Deepavali with peace of mind knowing that Lalamove's 24-hour delivery service will be operating throughout the festivities in key cities like Klang Valley, Penang, Johor, Malacca, and Kuching.

Lalamove’s wide range of vehicle options, from 4x4 Pickups for those oversized gifts, to spacious Vans for your multiple packages, and even Lorries for those big business orders - Lalamove has got you covered this festive season. No delivery is too big or too small for them, because we believe everyone deserves to have their needs met during this joyful time of year.

Larger vehicles like Pickups and Lorries have seen a whopping 17% increase in demand last year, especially for events, home renovations, and house moves. These trends are expected to continue, as many Malaysians are preparing for extended celebrations, hosting larger gatherings, and completing residential projects.

As Teh, the CEO of Lalamove, mentioned - “With Deepavali falling on a Thursday this year, we anticipate an increase in deliveries due to extended celebrations and businesses taking advantage of the long weekend. Lalamove is here to support both families and businesses during this busy time.”
