[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Korea Center, which operates the overseas direct purchase platform Moltail, announced on the 24th that it has opened the Moltail UK logistics center.


The UK center, with a total area of 1663㎡ (approximately 503 pyeong), is located in Berkshire, southern England, allowing vehicle access to Heathrow Airport within 20 minutes. Shipments are dispatched three times a week using national carriers, providing customers with safer and faster delivery services. It partners with specialized local UK companies.


Korea Center explained that the UK logistics center was opened to proactively respond to European issues such as Brexit (the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union) and to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.


Accordingly, the center space can be flexibly utilized according to changes in cargo volume during peak direct purchase seasons and promotional periods. Until now, when Moltail customers used UK direct purchase, shipments had to pass through the German logistics center, making fast delivery difficult due to inland transportation time. However, this measure will reduce delivery time and customer cost burden.


A Moltail official said, "The UK has shopping malls such as Lush, Boden, and Portmeirion, and is one of the countries with high preference for direct purchase due to spectacular year-end sales like Boxing Day," adding, "We hope it will grow into a center leading European direct purchase together with the German logistics center."



Meanwhile, to commemorate the opening of the UK logistics center, Moltail will provide a 15% discount coupon on shipping fees, which can be used immediately when using UK direct purchase, through the Moltail app until the 29th.
