In the world of service, nothing beats the validation of a returning customer. It means we did our job right the first time.
Recently, a loyal client contacted us again. Their request? To buy pastries from the famous bakery chain Holiland (好利来) in Shenzhen and hand-carry them to Hong Kong for a meetup delivery. This is a classic example of Shenzhen-Hong Kong reverse purchasing—where goods flow from the mainland to HK due to variety and price advantages.
🍰 The Sweet Haul
Holiland is incredibly popular for its semi-cooked cheese tarts. Our customer knew exactly what they wanted:
- Original Semi-Cooked Cheese (5 pcs): The classic choice.
- Iceberg Lava Chocolate Cake: A rich, dual-texture dessert.
- Oreo Chocolate Roll: A treat for chocolate lovers.
- Oreo Semi-Cooked Cheese (4 pcs): A twist on the classic.
The total cost for the goods was ¥180.00. At Zerrand, we operate on a “reimbursement based on actual receipt” policy—transparency is key.
🚇 Why Kowloon Tong Station?
The designated meetup point was Kowloon Tong Station on the East Rail Line.
For cross-border delivery, Kowloon Tong is a strategic hub. It connects the East Rail Line (coming directly from the Shenzhen border) with the Kwun Tong Line (serving Kowloon).
- For us: It’s a direct train ride from the border.
- For the customer: It’s easily accessible without having to travel all the way to the border checkpoints like Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau.
🚴♀️ How We Executed the Errand
- Immediate Action: As a returning client, the trust was already established. Payment for the goods and the errand fee was settled in advance.
- Freshness First: We timed the purchase at the Shenzhen store to minimize the time the cakes spent in transit.
- Cross-Border Logistics: Our runner carried the goods, cleared customs smoothly, and hopped on the train.
- On-Time Delivery: At 4:00 PM sharp, the handover was completed at the station.
