Quickee.lk marks an industry first with personal concierge service
Quickee.lk, a leading e-commerce and product delivery platform has launched an industry-first ‘Personal Concierge Service’, bringing a new paradigm shift in the local ecommerce and concierge delivery space.
Operational between 9:00am and 3:00am every day of the year, Quickee.lk’s novel service offering takes care of personal shopping needs without customers ever having to leave the comfort and safety of their homes. It is because of Quickee.lk’s wide range of innovative services such as this that the company continues to remain at the forefront of its industry.
The distinctive service reflects Quickee.lk’s forward-thinking brand vision that recognizes the consumer’s desire for products that might not be available on generic e-commerce catalogues. The ‘Personal Concierge Service’ fills that very gap through the inclusion of unique products to its sophisticated product portfolio.

In essence, the ‘Personal Concierge Service’ allows customers to place their orders directly with the outlet(s) of their choice and communicate the order items, payable value and pickup time to Quickee.lk via call or WhatsApp. The Quickee.lk team then proceeds to pick up the order(s), pay the store(s) their dues on the customer’s behalf, and deliver the complete order to the customer promptly and in top-notch condition. Customers can then make the total payment via Cash, Card or Online transactions.
From food deliveries, groceries and medical supplies, to children’s toys, home appliances, smart devices, and much more, Quickee.lk offers customers a diverse and exciting product assortment to choose from. Rendering its revolutionary ‘Personal Concierge Service’ within the city of Colombo and its surrounding suburbs, Quickee.lk offers absolutely no limit in terms of product type, store/ outlet, and number of pickups along the way.
