Send a padala before Christmas: beat the courier rush with same-day delivery
Every December, couriers clog and gifts arrive after Christmas. Here is how to get your padala to someone in the same city the same day — no backlog, no missed Noche Buena.
Bisaya: Padala sa Pasko: ihatod sa Hopper ang regalo karong adlawa, dili maglangan.
Tagalog: Padala sa Pasko: ihahatid ng Hopper ang regalo ngayong araw, hindi maaantala.
Why same-day beats the courier at Christmas
In December couriers slow down as parcels pile up, and a gift sent a few days before Pasko can miss Christmas Eve. For someone in the same city or town, a HazzaHub padala is carried by a local Hopper and delivered the same day — no backlog, no waiting for a slot.
What you can send
A wrapped gift, a food tray or bibingka, a ham, an envelope, a parcel to pick up and forward. If it fits in a bag and is legal to carry, a Hopper can bring it across town today.
How it works
1. Open HazzaHub and choose Deliver. 2. Pin the pick-up and the drop-off. 3. Say what it is and who receives it. 4. A Hopper brings it the same day, and the receiver gives the gate code at the door.
What it costs
You set the price. The app suggests ₱20 for an errand inside your own barangay and ₱30 to another barangay, each covering the first 3 km of road, then ₱22 per km by day (₱27 per km from 6 pm to 6 am). Customers pay no booking fee.
Good to know
This is same-town, same-day delivery, not a nationwide courier. For something fragile or a gift, say so and take a photo before pick-up.
