Cornershop’s added value, when compared to other delivery apps, is its Shoppers, who are specialists in purchasing and select the products requested by the customer with the same care that he would have. Likewise, if any of the requested products are not available in the store, Shopper offers product substitutions with the same characteristics and delivers to the customer in 90 minutes, or at the time scheduled by him in the app.
