Sending bulky and loose items to anywhere in Peninsular Malaysia just got easier with Tumpang, a new logistics platform with a large network of transportation companies in Malaysia. The platform, available via app or online, provides delivery service by utilising unused cargo space to fit items and match it with a transport vehicle that is heading towards the same delivery destination.
Tumpang allows users to request a delivery service based on the multiple pricing options from different transporters with just a click. Transport options include lorries, trucks, vans and 4×4 vehicles.
Users would just need to fill in their details and upload the photos of the item to be delivered and then choose the best offer from transport providers. The firm said in a statement that its services are the cheapest online delivery service in the market of its kind, with up to 70% lower rates at present.
The Tumpang platform was soft-launched in May 2021, and to date, has delivered more than 2100 items, and attracted over 1000 delivery partners to join the platform. It also plans to have more delivery partners onboard as they further expand to serve the ever-growing needs of their customers while creating more earning opportunities for the logistics community.
“We came up with the concept of Tumpang because we saw an opportunity to work together with transporters to utilise their empty return trips after fulfilling their client’s delivery. The unused space means greater cost savings for customers and businesses when booking the services and most customers and businesses find the charges exorbitant to send long-distance bulky and loose cargo deliveries, so we are here to solve just that,” said Patrick Tan, founder of Tumpang.
“Now with Tumpang, customers or businesses can deliver anything, from a bike to warehouse items at the best price possible. Our delivery partners are also available 24/7 to handle your logistics needs. This service does not only benefit the customers but transporters owners by allowing them to make full use of their cargo space by earning from this platform.”
Tumpang plans to expand to East Malaysia soon and to Singapore and Thailand by the end of 2023. Aside from providing transporting vehicles, Tumpang also offers movers service, where customers can rely on the support from Tumpang’s team of professional movers.
In conjunction with the official launch, the platform is offering a RM12 delivery charge discount to all customers with no minimum spend required.
The promotion runs from 1 June 2022 to 31 December 2022 and customers will be able to redeem by using the promo code ‘TUMPANGNOW’ which is applicable for one redemption per user. Interested customers can download the Tumpang Delivery app on App Store and Google Play
