Last updated: November 2016

Online shopping in Malaysia is becoming a large part of our daily lives, ranging from purchasing flight tickets, booking hotel rooms to movie ticket purchases and the latest fashionable apparel. It was only a matter of time that online grocery shopping in Malaysia joined the list of online options.

Fortunately, for the urban residents of Klang Valley, local grocery stores have expanded their services to cater for online purchases and delivery.  We can now stock our kitchen and home without the hassle of fighting through traffic congestions, waiting in long queues, and carrying heavy groceries.

Here are five online grocery stores in Malaysia that you should check out:.

Online grocery shopping and delivery in Malaysia will continue gaining more popularity due to its convenience, time efficiency and return policies. However, the delivery rates can be quite hefty for small purchases, and you need to ensure that someone is home to receive the goods to avoid extra charges. Be mindful of these factors when planning for your shopping list online to ensure a smooth and rewarding online shopping experience.

Hi there, yeh, I also don’t see a lists of available addresses. I only found this Tesco page, which lets you check if your location is covered: http://www.tesco.com.my/eshop/html/Check-Service-Availability.aspx.

You probably already used that though. Anyway, sorry to hear you’re just outsider the perimeter!

Tesco does not offer online payment. Imagine you need to buy CNY goodies for your customers and you cannot pay for it. Too bad, business lost.

This is good insight. Thanks for sharing.

I guess Presto’s delivery service is so far the best compared to others as I don’t have to wait for too long. Besides, Presto has wide range of choices for everything I need to prepare for a meal. Plus, I can pay at my doorstep.
