When will our order arrive?

We deliver everyday and offer next-day delivery. Payment cut-off for next-day delivery is at 7:30PM.

What time will our delivery arrive?

We make our deliveries between 9:00AM-3:00PM.

The exact time of arrival depends on multiple factors such as the number of drivers available, traffic, and optimal route.

Please note that delivery time requests may or may not be accommodated. Rest assured that our team does their best to deliver your food as early as possible, and that your order is guaranteed to arrive fresh no matter what time of day.

Can I specify delivery instructions, like bringing the package up to my condo unit or leaving it at the lobby if I'm not home?

Yes sure! You can request specific delivery instructions upon placing your order.

Please note that having the driver carry the packages up to your condo unit is an additional service with a P60 fee, to be paid directly to the driver. Requests for a specific delivery time may or may not be accommodated.

Just contact us and we'll do our best to accommodate your preferences. 

 

PRODUCTS

Where do you source your items?

Our local products come from different regions in the Philippines. These are delivered and sourced from the palengke daily, choosing only the freshest products available for you.

Are your fish/seafoods cleaned before delivery?

Yes, we clean, descale & gut all fish before delivery for your convenience. The weight is calculated through the pre-cleaning weight of items ordered.

Feel free to contact us if you want your fish delivered uncleaned & with scales on.

Will the weight of my ordered items be exact?

All items are weighed and packed to be AT LEAST the weight ordered, and in most cases even a little bit more. For all items except fish, please allow a few grams margin of error for weighing scale inaccuracies and moisture evaporation (for non-fish seafood and meat), at most up to -+5%.

Fish is calculated through its pre-cleaning weight. Cleaned fish usually weighs 5%-15% less, depending on the amount of blood, moisture evaporation, and size/weight of entrails, and may vary from fish to fish even of the same kind.

If you receive any items weighing less than 95% (80% for cleaned fish) of the weight ordered, rest assured that the difference will be refunded under our refund policy.

 

PAYMENT

What are your modes of payment?

We accept credit/debit card payments, GCash, BPI, Maya, and GrabPay via PayMongo.

We also accept direct payments via GCash.

Do you accept COD?

Sorry, we do not accept COD as we use third-party couriers to fulfill our orders.

 

REFUNDS

What if an item we ordered is out of stock?

In case there are any unavailable items, we will contact you early in the morning before delivery to ask for replacement preferences. Non-reply will default to skipping the item/s, which can be refunded or credited to future orders.

Can I cancel or reschedule the rest of my order if certain item/s are unavailable?

Unfortunately, we can not cancel or reschedule the rest of your order if certain items are unavailable on the day of delivery. Our team processes orders overnight and sources your food from multiple suppliers, so the rest of your order would likely already be prepared. Rest assured that the unavailable item/s will be refunded as soon as possible.

What if I am not satisfied with the quality of the items I received?

We at Safe Select are proud of our commitment to excellent quality and customer service. In any case like this, you can easily contact us and we'll be happy to replace or refund any items that did not arrive fresh.

Read our Palengke-Fresh Promise for more information.

How will the refund be processed?

You may choose between getting a credit voucher for your next order, or a direct refund via GCash within 7 days.
