Bangkok, You Can Now Send Mail From 7-Eleven

By Jintamas Saksornchai, Staff Reporter

 

 

BANGKOK — Thailand’s most prolific retailer on Monday launched yet another offering – mail delivery – at thousands of its stores across metro Bangkok.

 

The 24/7 Speed-D express delivery service is now available at more than 3,000 7-Eleven stores in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan provinces. Packages and letters are guaranteed delivery by 6pm the next day if processed by 9pm.

I don't know how they can expect 7-11 clerks to handle banking and postal transactions.  The bank clerks and postal clerks barely are able to complete these transactions.

Do they need some form of licence for this service, do they have it.

 

Call me a socialist if you want, no problem, but it seems to me that all governments, among their many responsibilities, should be trying to spread opportunities across the whole community, not just watching one massive conglomerate grow bigger and reduce competitiveness and therefore get away with higher prices.

This is just the end for me.

No more 7-11.

Too much power in one company.

Is there any difference between CP All PLC owner of 7/11's and the current government?

This is no different from a village shop in England being a sub post office.

[Grusa]

Do you do it before or after your 90day report?

April has come a bit early, methinks.

Just a matter of time when a "quickie" or "happy end soapy" will be available at the back rooms of 7/11's !! ..nice and convenient for a quick service!????

555 yeah right...until tomorrow when u go into 7-11 for...everything. 

 

LOVE 1-Stop shops!

Actually there could be some interesting business strategy involved here.

 

Everybody is well ware that on-line shopping is killing retail stores fronts,

 

So is 7/11 (either the Japanese master brand owner or CP the Thailand local franchise holder looking to provide services which cannot be on-line (postal) to bring customers into 7 shops.

 

Further, when will we see  postal services whereby customers don't need to leave the house? In fact a model could be, postman delivers mail / packages to the house and at the same time accepts envelopes / packages going out. 

 

Maybe a need to have some different resources (perhaps very small purpose fitted vans instead of M/Cs), but it could be done.

They are already ahead of you here,  with shopat24.com quite often same price as Lazada without the crappy last mile logistics, pick up at nearest 7/11, phones, laptops etc...

Do they use their own stamps or just "promotion" stickers?
