Living in Hong Kong, there are moments when you crave that authentic Shenzhen flavor—like the famous spicy Chili Fried Pork from Fei Da Chu.
A few nights ago, around 8:00 PM, I received a message from Mr. Ko in Tai Kok Tsui. He was looking for a way to get Fei Da Chu delivered to his doorstep in Hong Kong. As a veteran SZ-HK courier, I immediately assessed the border queue and courier availability.
Pro-Tip: Balancing Urgency and Cost
Since it was already the dinner rush and many branches have long wait times, delivering the same night would have involved high last-minute fees due to late-night transportation and border logistics.
I advised Mr. Ko: “Ordering now might be too late, and the cost for late-night delivery is higher. If it’s not for tonight’s late-night snack, pre-booking for tomorrow afternoon is much more cost-effective.”
Mr. Ko appreciated the honesty and booked a delivery for the following afternoon.
This is my money-saving tip for cross-border fans:
- Pre-book in Advance: For non-emergency items, booking a day ahead significantly reduces the errand fee.
- Avoid Peak Hours: Late nights or extreme weather often mean higher rates due to limited transit options.
Attention to Detail: Weight and Multi-Stop Pickups
During the chat, Mr. Ko asked about picking up items from multiple shops. The fee for Shenzhen food delivery to HK depends mostly on weight and distance.
Fei Da Chu dishes like Soft Tofu and Chili Pork are quite heavy. Adding another stop would require the courier to travel to a different area, increasing both time and physical labor. After evaluating the load, Mr. Ko decided to stick with a feast entirely from Fei Da Chu—which was a great choice for keeping the meal fresh.
The Final Mile: Delivery to Metro Harbour View
The next afternoon, everything went according to plan. I picked up the fresh order—Fei Da Chu’s packaging is excellent for heat retention.
After crossing the border and navigating the MTR, I arrived at Metro Harbour View in Tai Kok Tsui before 4:00 PM.
“Your meal has been delivered! Enjoy!”
Seeing his reply—”Eating now, tastes just like the shop!”—is what makes this cross-border service so rewarding.
