MM Wholesale offers next-day delivery within NCR+ (Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Cavite) and free delivery for purchases of P10,000 and up. You can also earn good points as cash back on your next purchase. One main feature of the App is its live inventory ability. Whatever you see in the App is in our warehouse, meaning 99% of the time, you will receive what you ordered. In addition, the App features over 5,000 important household SKUs priced at up to 15% lower than retail prices. MerryMart is very excited to see this part of its business grow exponentially in the near term,” said MerryMart CFO Hannah Yulo-Luccini.

The MM Wholesale ECommerce platform supported by its modern distribution centers is expected to eventually be available in all the 82 provinces of the Philippines.
