473 Drone Delivery

Ms. Wang is 28 years old this year. She has just given birth to a healthy baby and is currently taking maternity leave at home to take care of the baby.

Since hearing about Daming Purchasing from a friend not long ago, Ms. Wang has decided to purchase imported diapers, milk powder and other products for her children here.

Because this purchasing online store is run by Daming Group, it has low prices, good service, and a guaranteed reputation. It often offers promotions during holidays and festivals, and the discounts are not small.

As someone who buys the same products all year round, she knows very well that the discounts, coupons, vouchers and other preferential measures here are different from other online stores, and they do not play the kind of digital game where prices are raised first and then discounts are given.

This is an online store that allows consumers to actually save money.

Today, Ms. Wang discovered that Daming Daigou has launched a new preferential measure - Daming Logistics delivery service.

Ms. Wang read the description carefully and found out that Daming Group had newly established a subsidiary called "Daming Logistics".

Unlike other logistics companies, Daming Logistics fully uses drones and express robots to deliver express delivery. As long as it is convenient for customers to receive it, Daming Logistics provides 24-hour delivery services, 365 days a year.

Customers only need to reserve the delivery location online, and Daming Logistics will automatically dispatch corresponding equipment for delivery based on the size and weight of the package.

For example, customers who live on high floors can even make an appointment to receive the goods on their balcony if the package is not large. Daming Logistics' drone will carry the customer's package directly from the nearest outlet to your balcony.

If there is no balcony at home, or the package is too big for the drone to move around, a courier robot will deliver it to your door.

Of course, this service has just been launched, the outlets that can support it are limited, and it is still in the testing stage, so any customer who chooses to try this service can enjoy an unconditional 10 yuan discount on the basis of the original discount.

"It's interesting, let's give it a try."

Ms. Wang looked at her balcony and decisively checked this service.

What Ms. Wang purchased this time was a can of baby milk powder. It was not too big or too heavy, so she could make an appointment to receive it on her balcony.

After paying the money, Ms. Wang felt uneasy and contacted her friends on WeChat.

Ms. Wang’s friend works for Daming Group. Although he does not work for Daming Purchasing Agency, he belongs to the same company, so he should know some inside information, right?

"Are you there?" Ms. Wang sent a message.

"Yes." The other party replied quickly.

"Let me ask you something. I bought milk powder from Daming Dai today and saw that you have a delivery option from Daming Logistics. It says that it will use drones or robots for delivery. Is this reliable?"

"Reliable, so reliable."

Ms. Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could think of anything to ask, the other party sent another message.

"Let me tell you, drone delivery is so convenient. You no longer have to worry about not being at home to sign for the courier delivery.

I placed an order for a lipstick last night. I placed the order at almost 12 o'clock. When I woke up this morning, I saw that the package had been delivered on the balcony."

"Hey, is it so fast?" Ms. Wang was a little surprised.

"Yes, Daming Daigou has stocks in major cities for products with relatively large sales volume. For example, the milk powder and diapers you often buy are definitely in stock in our logistics warehouse in Shenzhen. If you look at your mobile phone now, you may already have them.

Delivery has started.”

No way?

Ms. Wang really didn’t believe it this time. It usually takes three or four days from placing an order to receiving the goods. This is quite fast, because after all, it is purchased from overseas.

Unexpectedly, when she turned on her phone and took a look, Ms. Wang was shocked.

The logistics information on the order is "Out of the warehouse and being dispatched."

Just when Ms. Wang was in a daze, a phone call came. It was the customer service number of Daming Purchasing Agency.

Ms. Wang pressed the answer button, and a pleasant female voice came from the receiver.

"Hello Ms. Wang, your package has been shipped out of the warehouse and is being delivered to your balcony by drone. It is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes. Please check it carefully."

After hanging up the phone, Ms. Wang opened the Daming Purchasing APP, and suddenly found an electronic map in the APP, which showed a drone flying towards her home with a cardboard box.

"Haha, I found that drone delivery is quite fun. I just saw the location of the drone on the APP."

Ms. Wang was so happy that she sent a message to her friend.

The other party replied: "Yes, couriers will be laid off in the future, and we no longer have to worry about their online shopping being thrown around."

"Oh, let me tell you one more thing. When buying things in the Ming Dynasty recently, don't hoard them. Buy as much as you need."

Ms. Wang was stunned. How could such a thing happen? Is there any inside story?

"why?"

"Because the company has used driverless cargo planes and ships to transport goods, when this batch of goods is sold out, the price of the next batch of goods will also drop due to the drop in freight."

"Okay, I understand. Fortunately, I didn't store many things before, otherwise I would have lost money."

"By the way, one more thing. Now that we have adopted the unmanned delivery method, once you have made an appointment for a time and place, do not miss the appointment by yourself. Even if you have something to do and you have to leave, you must remember to modify the delivery time on the APP. If the delivery fails

If so, maybe next time you buy something, the express delivery fee will go up a bit."

"Ah, is there such a thing? Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it."

Ms. Wang looked at the mobile app again and found that the map showed that the location of the drone was close to her home, so she walked to the balcony and looked at the sky curiously.

Not long after, a four-axis drone appeared in Ms. Wang's field of vision.

The drone holds a cardboard box underneath. It makes almost no noise when flying. In addition, the flying height is still some distance from the roof of the building, so it has no impact on the lives of surrounding residents.

After the drone approached the balcony of Ms. Wang's home, it quickly decelerated and lowered its altitude, then landed accurately next to Ms. Wang, gently placed the cardboard box on the ground of the balcony, and then flew up again, hovering outside the balcony.

"Hello, Ms. Wang, I am the courier Xiaofeng. Your package has been delivered safely. Do you need to open the box and inspect the goods in person?"

Out of trust in big brands, Ms. Wang chose not to inspect the goods: "No need."

"Thank you for your trust in us, Xiaofeng wishes you a happy life! Goodbye."

After the drone finished speaking, it quickly flew away from the balcony of Ms. Wang's house and disappeared.
