Description

  The present invention relates to a reciprocating envelope that can be used in a forward path and a return path.

  Conventionally, for example, in the case of a small mail order (mail order) product, even if it was delivered using a cheap mail service, when returning it, it was often done by mail or ordinary courier, which was costly .

In the case of mail order, there was a problem that the delivery fee when returning goods would be dissatisfied by the consumer if it was a consumer burden, and that if it was a mail order company burden, it would lead to revenue compression. Certainly, if a delivery fee of 500 yen is required to purchase a 300 yen product and return it, he or she will hesitate to return it.
In this case, consumers have no choice but to fall asleep, but from the point of view of a mail order company, customer satisfaction is reduced, resulting in a decline in brand image.
Even in the case of a mail order company such as returning goods due to defective products or work mistakes, it has also been regarded as a problem because it costs similarly.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a reciprocating envelope that can be used in the forward path and the return path, but when returning, the inner and outer surfaces of the envelope must be turned over, which is difficult for consumers to use. There was a possibility.
