"Orders Placed at 3 p.m. Will Also Arrive the Same Day"—CJ OnStyle Launches Incheon Fulfillment Center

[Financial News] CJ OnStyle has opened a large fulfillment center in Incheon and will extend the order cutoff time for same-day delivery in the Seoul metropolitan area to 3 p.m.
According to industry sources on the 7th, CJ OnStyle will extend the order cutoff time for its "Arrives Today" service across the Seoul metropolitan area—including Seoul, Suwon, Bundang, a new town district in Seongnam, South Korea, and Goyang—from noon to 3 p.m., effective today. The company said it is the first comprehensive shopping platform in the industry to accept same-day delivery orders until 3 p.m. while handling receiving, storage, picking, packing, and shipping at a large fulfillment center rather than an urban micro-fulfillment center (MFC).
To expand the service, CJ OnStyle relocated and expanded its existing Gunpo logistics hub to Incheon. The move comes as product volumes and demand for deliveries in the Seoul metropolitan area have increased, with the center's throughput rising 13% year on year in the first half of this year.
The Incheon fulfillment center is twice the size of the former Gunpo center and can store approximately 1 million products. The number of products eligible for "Arrives Today" has also increased by approximately 67% from the previous level. Its proximity to Incheon Port is another feature, as it can shorten the time required for imported products to arrive at the center.
CJ OnStyle plans to improve logistics efficiency by operating a dual logistics network consisting of its existing Gwangju hub and the new Incheon fulfillment center, with operations divided according to product type.
A CJ OnStyle representative said, "The opening of the Incheon fulfillment center enables us to provide faster and more convenient delivery tailored to our customers' lifestyles." The representative added, "We will continue to enhance our logistics capabilities so that we can innovate the entire customer shopping experience, going beyond delivery speed."
