Chains suspend delivery of refrigerated food
Staff writer, with CNA
Several hypermarket and convenience store chains have temporarily suspended deliveries of frozen and chilled products, as delivery service providers face skyrocketing demand amid a COVID-19 outbreak.
Among chains that announced service stoppages was Hi-Life International Co Ltd (萊爾富), which on Tuesday said that deliveries of the products via Taiwan Pelican Express Co (台灣宅配通) would be halted through Saturday.
Hi-Life home deliveries by HCT Logistics Co (新竹物流) would be suspended until June 15, while those by SF Express Co (順豐速運) would be suspended indefinitely, the company said.
