Description

Free delivery system through relay agent after co-purchasing of the consumers' having the same condition of the delivery}

Existing online shopping mall companies operate a system that receives shipping costs for products purchased by consumers using the Internet. When you want to buy a product without shipping costs, you can only buy the product for a certain amount (usually 30,000 won ~) set by each site company. Others include transactions with companies that have contracts with post offices, joint purchases, and delivery services based on subway stations. All other fees are paid. In general, when a product is purchased for less than 30,000 ~ 100,000 won, almost all website shopping mall companies pay the shipping cost to the buyer.

Thus, consumers who use Internet companies are divided into cases in which they want to purchase enough goods without paying shipping costs, or buy goods even considering shipping costs.

Shipping costs usually range from 1,500 won to 3,000 won, and in the case of island areas, an additional 3,000 won is a significant burden for people in island areas, and buyers who visit an internet shopping mall to purchase 1 to 2,000 won cheaper. Considering the shipping costs, even if they buy a lot of work is a burden. Sometimes you don't need to pay for the shipping cost, but you need to add a little more money and you don't need it right away. Women and men, especially boys and girls, buy a lot of products this way. In addition, girls can purchase more than a certain amount (usually 30,000 won ~), but if not, the same friends gather together to buy things. This makes it possible to buy cheaply without the cost of shipping, but it is difficult to meet each other when it is necessary. In addition, if you do not know if you have a good relationship with each other, but if you do not know that there is a disadvantage of joint purchase more difficult to form. This is a problem that includes not only female students but everyone else.

Here's an example that shows how much the shipping costs are working.

In the case of female students' cosmetics, for example, the prices of different cosmetics online shopping malls are different, but usually over 30,000 won, there is no shipping fee. Cosmetics have become a necessity, but not every time you buy a lot of cosmetics. If you need only one lipstick or only one shampoo, it is cheaper to buy on the market considering the shipping cost. However, not all friends who buy a product can use the same site, which can lead to mixed opinions.

In addition, mid- to low-priced or single-piece products will have a navel bigger than the belly, which will limit the products that can be sold. For example, in the case of a hairpin, if the market price is 5,000 won and an internet company sells for 4,000 won, the shipping cost will be over 6,000 won. Therefore, consumers buy on the market. There is plenty of room to save.

Therefore, it is impossible for an internet shopping mall company to supply a product without a relatively high margin product, and consumers purchase a product after planning a mass purchase.

Also, even if you pay for shipping, it takes a couple of days to take a long time to receive your order. So most people don't trust delivery problems unless they buy products on the market and don't mind buying products over the Internet.

In addition, business models that have been patented so far specify only one place such as subway station, national railway, school shop, bus station, and convenience store, and it is difficult to establish a relay station when it is not a big city such as Seoul. In addition, Happy Shop, which is based in the subway station, is difficult to build except in big cities such as Seoul, Incheon, and Busan, and delivery to convenience stores designed to reduce the shipping cost as much as possible. Waiting for a certain time, you will have to go to the trouble. In addition, the company also has a burden to give a certain amount to the convenience store.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve an electronic commerce method that requires a shipping fee when a product ordered at a predetermined amount or a product having a low sale price is purchased in bulk or joint purchase of such products.

So in order to make the present invention,

1. Delivery place (relay station) A system that can be made in the form of a joint purchase that can be ordered without any shipping costs by collecting products from multiple consumers with the same delivery conditions.

2. In the case of dealing with the products of affiliated or subcontractors, if the amount of money to reach a designated relay station has been collected, a system should be established in which the movement of the products of the partner / contributors must be promptly delivered to the relay station. do.

3. Signed relay stations that can be used within the metropolitan area and metropolitan area or various logistics bases, and within the middle, small cities, and counties, towns and villages.

4. Secure a relay station where consumers can easily visit their ordered products

5. Sellers and consumers should be able to check in real time how many products are gathered at which relay station, and by providing consumers with information in real time, they can quickly select the appropriate relay station to purchase products. Should be.

6. If the ordered goods are collected at a certain amount of money, which does not have to be paid at any relay station, the buyer will be notified of the information to be delivered by sending mail, text, etc. or a notice on the homepage.

7. Promotion of these delivery systems.

The present invention relates to a method of making a delivery through a place called a relay station (optimal free shipping) after a joint purchase of people who meet the same delivery conditions among the various consumers.

Of course, the individual can meet the free shipping conditions alone, but if that is not the case, that is, the existing delivery method to pay the shipping costs to change the system that the delivery is made.

The previous delivery method is described how and what is the problem. Among them, we will show you how to effectively change the problems that are difficult to form due to shipping costs.

Then, I will explain how to overcome the paid shipping problem caused by purchasing a product under a certain amount, which is a disadvantage of the existing delivery method, using a virtual shopping mall, a virtual relay station, and a virtual consumer.

First, we construct a regional relay network in the Korea Central Shopping Mall (a tentative name for a website company using a free shipping e-commerce method that I will present). The concept of a central shopping mall is a shopping mall in the form of a relay between various affiliated and cooperative sites and a fee from the affiliated and cooperative sites. It is a concept of a comprehensive shopping mall that adopts all e-commerce methods that can be operated on a website, such as buying and selling a product that is not.

In addition, the concept of a regional relay station can be installed at a cost by the seller, but since it is impossible to install it in each city, province, county, or town, it is not possible to install it separately. It is a concept of operating a contract with a security guard at a store, a shop, a guard room, a convenience store, a fast food restaurant such as Lotteria or McDonald's in a well-known downtown area, or a subway station or a convenience store that is excessively moved.

In addition, the designation of the relay station does not have to take into account any specific matters, for example, areas with dense buildings or crowded populations. Because if you buy a 5,000 won item at a shopping mall, you have to pay the shipping cost. If you don't pay the shipping fee, you can be willing to go to the buyer's home or visited relay station instead of shipping it home. Because there is.

The relay office will be able to minimize the damage to both the buyer and the buyer by choosing an existing guard room or legally responsible business for the common good in case it can happen.

Transactions with the relay office may be done by promising to send the goods to the contractor contracted by the seller and paying a fee in return, and the relay offices such as school security offices, apartment security offices, and security guards for each building may share common interests. It is for the purpose of tightening without any cost. Repeater operating methods may vary by vendor or vendor.

Let's take a simple example of how you can order and receive a product without shipping costs using these relays and co-purchases.

The embodiments described hereafter are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are merely applied as examples.

For example, many people who use the Internet can choose to buy a relay station and make joint purchases.

Suppose there are five people, A, B, C, D, and E, who are based in Seoul, and who meet the conditions for joint purchase with a relay station.

They also don't know who they are, and when they join the Korea Central Shopping Mall, they chose a free shipping relay station, check for new relays that may occur from time to time, and even non-members can specify and change relay stations from time to time. In addition, shopping mall companies also provide information on relay stations and co-purchase loading information.

A-I go to the cultural university (tentative name) and go around the school.

B-I attend a cultural university and live in a room.

C-I attend Culture University and live in Yeongdeungpo.

D-I go to Korea University (tentative name) and live part-time job in Jamsil.

E-I go to Hankuk University, live in Noryangjin, and ride the subway through the Cultural University.

This is an example of the case where they can receive the ordered products without paying the shipping fee by using the relay list and the joint purchase method established in the Korea Central Shopping Mall.

(However, if it is over a certain amount, you can receive the product in your desired area without shipping cost, and the relay station has a list. The fixed amount is usually 30,000 won because the e-commerce company does not pay the shipping cost. The amount is not limited to 30,000 won according to the standard, but this amount does not limit the free shipping conditions for a specific company or 30,000 won, and the Korea Central Shopping Mall uses the e-commerce method that I propose. Five people assume that they use this mall to order products without this shipping fee.)

First, A bought a 10,000 won wallet. If B buys a 10,000 won belt, C buys a 10,000 won bag, D buys a 20,000 won shoe, and E buys a 20,000 won hat. Because you have to pay each one of the shipping costs. Since shipping costs per company usually range from 1,500 won to 3,000 won or more, five people must pay a total of more than 7,500 won to receive the product. Of course, you can buy other products over a certain amount and receive them without shipping, but that's not always the case.

If you can afford to buy something cheaply without shipping, then they will buy it in consideration of their trip to the relay station. This is because it is more efficient to receive the product after it is delivered to the relay station on the way to school, work or home, rather than paying for shipping anyway.

You can go to the relay station because these five people know that there is no shipping cost if the transaction is made through a joint purchase with the relay station on the shopping site.

So after shopping, the five of them will start looking for a relay station, thinking whether there is a way to buy the product they want to buy cheaply without shipping.

Suppose a relay station that is suitable for these five among contractors contracted by a shopping mall company includes a guard room in the Cultural University, a convenience store at Jamsil Station, and a Yeongdeungpo Station lottery room. Besides, it is distributed evenly by city, province and region. Among them, he selected the appropriate relay station for these five people.

After these five people search the relay station, A first chooses a baggage place where he buys a 10,000 won purse from the Cultural University security office and waits for free shipping conditions to be met. Since the price of the product to be sent to the guard room has been 10,000 won, the product will be sent to the guard room of the Cultural University without paying the shipping fee since the product is more than a certain amount (30,000 won) if only the product of 20,000 won or more is accumulated.

Later, B, while searching for a relay station to receive the products he bought without shipping, knows that 10,000 won worth of products have been accumulated in the guard room at the cultural university, and will enter the order information to receive his product at the guard room.

When C was searching for a relay station, he found that 20,000 won worth of products had been accumulated in the guard room at the Cultural University. You will enter the information.

Then, A, B, C three people's merchandise is combined to meet the free shipping conditions, so the Korean central shopping mall immediately collects these three products in a large box and sends them to the Cultural University security office. The vendor packs three items A, B, and C separately and puts them back in a big box. The boxes are shipped with the address of the Cultural University security office. Later, when A, B, and C come in, they will verify their identity and hand out the goods. Of course, the central shopping mall company will designate the person who receives the product by signing a contract, and those who order the product will go to the goods after confirming their identity.

Meanwhile, A, B, and C will check the delivery and go to the guard room at the Cultural University to receive the product they requested.

(Of course, 30,000 won won't necessarily be ready for delivery, because the free shipping conditions may be at night or at dawn. Then the delivery will be automatically the next day. If one person orders another item by the end of the next business day, even if it is completed, it will be included in the order and will be shipped together. At that time, the vendor or the vendor can be flexible according to the situation.)

Let's assume that two consumers A and B are waiting to receive a product at the relay station called Culture University Security Center without any shipping costs.

On the other hand, a person named D sets up a relay station at Jamsil Station convenience store to receive 20,000 won of shoes without any shipping costs, and waits for free shipping conditions to be met.

Two consumers, A and B, can't wait indefinitely, so they are searching for another second delivery destination. In the meantime, B discovered that Jamsil Station, the second best shipping destination in Jamsil, where he lived, found that there were 20,000 won worth of goods to be delivered to the relay station. I will move the relay station from my guard to the convenience store at Jamsil station entrance. Then, the goods to be delivered to the relay station called Jamsil Station convenience store will be over a certain amount (30,000 won), so people B and D will be able to receive the product without shipping.

In this way, even though A and E are unaware of each other, they can search for the relay stations they will receive from each other.

Of course, shopping mall companies have also built a system that provides information to other buyers who are waiting to analyze in real time how much products are stacked in the relay station.

A and B buyers are waiting for the free shipping condition to be met. If you do other activities such as going to work or going to school, it is very difficult to check every hour every day. The convenience store must provide A, B, or other buyers with information that they are purchasing and waiting for 20,000 won worth of goods, so that they can quickly meet the free shipping conditions.

In this way, if the ordered products are gathered and sent to one place due to the joint purchase of two or more people who match the terms of delivery to receive at any one relay station, people are not concerned about the price regardless of the shipping cost. The purchase will be.

1. Let's say you sell an item you didn't buy for shipping, for example, a pair of jeans sold at 25,000 won at an internet shopping mall. If you place an order to buy these jeans, the customer will be charged a shipping fee, which will be 25,000 won. Therefore, it is better to buy directly on the market than to buy on the Internet, and it is not possible to buy these products.

2. By adding a shipping cost, such as a belly button larger than the belly, that is, hairpins, you can purchase products that are more expensive than the market price or products that are too expensive to buy more than a certain amount. Shopping mall companies can offer more diverse and cheaper products to consumers, and consumers will be able to purchase products at minimal cost.

3. The benefit between the consumer and the seller caused by eliminating the shipping cost allows the consumer to purchase more products with the same profit, and the seller can lower the product price or give free gifts, souvenirs, events, etc. Can be.

4. The receiving station can help to enhance the store or corporate image by the visits of consumers, and it can have a positive effect on the store's awareness by going once again. In addition, convenience stores and fast food stores can be an opportunity to sell one more product in the store while receiving the product.

It can be beneficial to sellers, consumers, and alliance partners.

5. Products you need can be purchased at cheaper prices through Internet shopping malls, which have a comparative advantage in price.

6. It is very difficult to build the existing delivery method (using subway, train, national railroad or convenience store) using the patented intermediate base, but it is very difficult to build it, but the people who match the relay station and the delivery conditions presented by themselves If you use the joint purchase method, the scope of application will be very wide not only for small and medium cities but also for counties, towns and villages.
