Durians has and always will be a favourite fruit for most Singaporeans. These heavenly king of the fruits are a traditional delight to those who don’t find it in any way “smelly”. In fact, some might go as far as to consider this the true treasure of South East Asia.
As durian lovers ourselves, we’ve seen our the industry has evolved over the years. Especially as the internet is pushing more and more local sellers to adopt new methods of selling this delightful delicacy.
That’s why we’ve identified several local sellers and after interviewing their processes, rates and delivery systems, we’re proud to say that we’re working closely with a local favourite, Mr Durian.
We put ourselves in the shoes of our customers and identified what sort of traits and attributes they would want from their seller. And using this same qualifying criteria, we put it to our list of possible vendors.
Here’s how we assessed them…
Values Our Customers Want
- Fair pricing on all our durians and related products
- Quality fruits that are thick and creamy
- Vacuumed sealed containers for take-home orders
- Timely delivery and ordering at the convenience of your home
We discovered that over the years, there are fewer of us with the old kampong skill to pick and choose the best quality fruit from the bunch. We’re often at the “mercy” of the seller to pick the right one for us. Forget checking the stem, or shaking the husk, or other fancy tricks, most of us no longer have this skill set.
Instead, what we want is a seller that is trustworthy and honest in their business.
After all, when it comes to durian delivery, there’s no way we can choose ourselves. That means the reputation of the seller is key.
And that’s why we went through the long and arduous process of making sure we have a respectable person our customers will be happy to support and buy their hearts fill.
To this end, we’ve created this ecommerce platform to make it easy for customers to continue to buy all kinds and types of durians while they are in season. Or if you prefer, you can also place an order and head down to our vendor’s store to either eat it there or collect it on your way back from the office or when you’re out on an errand.
Buying the beloved king of the fruit has gotten so much easier and convenient.
