The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak led the business operations to suffer due to a decrease in foot traffic caused by the implementation of strict community lockdowns in support of the government mandate in securing safety. The situation changed the consumer purchasing patterns and buying habits which challenged the companies to shift their operation and marketing strategies to respond to the needs of consumers. From various literature, it was stated that consumer shopping behavior is influenced by hedonic and utilitarian motivation. Utilitarianism is defined as a value with the functional benefits that consumers get from a product, while Hedonic is immediate psychological gratification that comes from experiencing an activity or from consuming a product.

It was found that the relationship of the variables on hedonic and utilitarian motivation towards browsing, as well as the browsing behavior towards an actual purchase, have Cronbach alpha values greater than 0.7, thus this study has acceptable reliability. Based on the result of the data analysis, the significant motivation factors that drive consumers to hedonically browse online are enjoyment (p< 0.001), freedom (p=0.016), trend discovery (p< 0.001), and adventure (p=0.001), while utilitarian factors include cost-saving (p Furthermore, based on the gathered result from the survey and focused group discussion (FGD) data, enhancing logistics intermediaries to arrange faster delivery, keeping the consumers
