KT·SmartCube Introduce 'Half-Price Storage Lockers'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT announced on the 26th that it will install and operate 'Half-Price Lockers' utilizing idle spaces in front of stores in collaboration with SmartCube, a specialist manufacturer of unmanned ships.

The usage fee for the Half-Price Lockers ranges from a minimum of 1,500 KRW to a maximum of 2,000 KRW for 4 hours, which is 50% cheaper compared to lockers inside subway stations. Additionally, since they are located in front of KT stores above ground, customers can conveniently use them without having to go up and down stairs. Customers using the Half-Price Lockers can use not only basic item storage but also 'real-time safe delivery' and 'parcel shipping' services contactlessly.

KT has completed the installation of Half-Price Lockers at six major directly operated stores in Seoul (Gangnam-daero Branch, Noryangjin Branch, Seoul National University Station Branch, Seoul National University Branch, Sinchon Branch, Cheongnyangni Branch) and plans to expand installation nationwide in the future. Furthermore, through partnerships with various companies, KT plans to add smart features such as ▲parcel storage ▲secondhand trading ▲carrier airport delivery, and is also considering introducing ▲locker-to-locker delivery services. Lee Hyun-seok, Executive Vice President and Head of KT Device Business Division, said, "We expect the Half-Price Lockers, which can be used contactlessly in the untact society accelerated by COVID-19, to gain popularity," and added, "KT will continue to launch services essential to customers' lives."
