The good days for users of small items to buy in the capital are over. Yesterday, kyodong city announced that, as of 25 november, freight charges would be charged for orders of less than $39. This means that the business strategy of a full-scale, freight-free operation that lasted for a year and a half in kyoto has ended, reflecting also the impact of rising logistics costs on e-commerce enterprises。
As to the reasons for this adjustment of the distribution policy, in its announcement, the capital city stated that sales and orders had been growing rapidly. In order to ensure the quality of distribution services and better quality of distribution services for consumers, the capital city would charge a freight charge of $5 from 25 november 2011 for orders of less than $39, in line with industry practice. The officials in charge of kyeongdong maung city revealed that due to the increasing volume of orders, but limited logistics distribution resources, the policy of stopping small order waivers was aimed at making more rational and efficient use of limited resources。
According to the information received, at present, kyototown has made its own distribution available in 183 cities across the country, providing door-to-door hand-picking, delivery payments, pos machine brushes and after-sale services, as well as opening “211-hours” services in 22 cities. Kyodong business city announced that through this business optimization initiative, it plans to further enhance its client experience. It is expected that, in 2012, the capital city of kyoto will deliver its own logistics in more than 300 cities, while the number of “211 time-bound” service cities will increase to around 35 with three distributions per day in the core area。
Yesterday, in the face of a new initiative in kyoto, the rival amazonian china announced that it would insist on full-time freight exemption, free of purchases and regional distribution restrictions. At the same time, the amazon countries announced that they would launch the largest-ever, most-soldier, longest-duration and widest-covered promotional campaign of the library channel in 2011, starting at 0000 on 24 november. In addition to “100 dollars to 20 dollars of unrestricted coupons”, there are a variety of preferences, such as one second to kill, four to one and a full gift; while the internet indicates that, while 29 dollars are still spent, it does not preclude the adoption of a full-time freight-free policy based on changes in competitors' strategies。
