you order something from Tokopedia you been waitin to go on sale and it arrives in less than 24 hours :)
 
The most impressive shipping from a Toped seller was one time I ordered some Se'i from Kupang at 8 am, and it arrived in Bali by 1 pm. This was before Covid tho, so there were daily flights from Kupang to Denpasar.

Other than that, if I want something fast, I sort by sellers in my city only, and usually, I can receive the goods the same day. It's the most convenient thing ever.
 
well this came by road Jakarta to Ciamis
6 or 7 hours if I drive to the outskirts
 
In Bandar Lampung we normally get deliveries from Jakarta area the day after they ship which is in most cases the same day as we order. Some recommend overnight and I just say no.
 
Seriously Toped really is a game changer for me especially when it comes to buying either imported stuff and/or hard to find ones like low carb ingredients (good quality erythritol or stevia...not the yucky diabetasol/tropicana one), although in the past year or two I've seen more and more stores carry them. Yeah, certain things still cost considerably more (about 50%-75% than buying it yourself overseas) but prices have come down for sure and I pretty much can find 80-90% of my stuff through Toped (that 3-4 years ago I had to wait to go to the US or Singapore to get).
 
Months ago I was able to buy DIY antigen rapid test kit from Tokopedia, later sellers were disguising the product with names like "ant1gen" instead of "antigen" or "sal1va" instead of "saliva", now I cannot find any at all. Sometimes you see it (and the price is double or triple the original price) but then it disappears the next day. I wonder why. Maybe it's the government which should be encouraging its use instead of restricting it. Early detection = early treatment (isolation + medication) = less hospitalization.

The price from the official test centres is 99k now in Jakarta (i think the price varies by region in indo tho) - so it's really cheap. The catch is that if you test +ve it gets updated on your pedulilindungi app. If you test at home you could hide your diagnosis so I presume they have tightened up the supply for this reason.
I suppose it's good on a population level but annoying because like you I would like to be able to get some to test myself at home occasionally.

We heard horror story about faked +ve PCR test here. So, we bring 2 boxes, each consist of 7 kits in case they try to cheat us. We got for free when visited UK.
 
Still about toped.
Has anyone ever purchased steak cuts from Toped, ie.

How is the quality?

The prices seem very cheap (at least compared with where I live) and the pictures look nice.
For me personally when it comes to meats...better go to an actual store to see the real product (like Indoguna) vs pictures on the website..95% of the time the product wont match the picture.

indeed, if we have enough time, actual store is better to ensure the quality as expected.
However, only Hero and wet market are available in our area. Traffic to Jakarta from Kota wisata is terrible - at least before pandemic.
