技术含量较低的配送系统也是大有前途的。在越来越多的商店和其他公司,柜台背后都存放着大量包裹,等人领取。有一个配送网络系统已和美国、加拿大的1,050家当地商店签约,还以每周二十几家商店的速度在增长。Kinek是该计划的策划公司,公司老板加雷斯•苏杜(Gareth Sudul)说,商家喜欢这种简单的“Kinek网点”服务。它不需要任何特殊设备。商店只需在一个网站上录入配送和取货状态,然后网站就自动发邮件、信息,提醒收件人。
Pick-up locations typically charge from about $3 to release a package, passing on $1 to Kinek. People fetching a parcel also often buy a few items. The lure of extra sales has led some shops to hand over the packages for nothing, coughing up $1 just to have someone walk through the door.
一般来说,在取货点领走一个包裹,需要支付3美元左右的费用,其中1美元归Kinek所有。而取包裹的人也经常会买一些东西。在这种额外销售的诱惑下,一些商店愿意负责无偿寄存包裹。多付1美元,只为多一个客户光临。
Not everyone will join in. Questions over insurance liability might hamper the growth of pick-up services. And in America online merchants avoid charging sales tax in some states by neither having a physical presence nor hiring staff there. So they may be wary of putting lockers in these parts of the country. Some consumers, having paid for door-to-door delivery, will not want to traipse to a nearby shop or petrol station to collect their parcels. But the growth of online sales means that exasperation levels with home deliveries and the attraction of a rapid pick-up are sure to rise.
