[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Hanjin announced on the 17th that it has signed a business agreement with Gori Company, a global last-mile solution and platform service company, to expand global e-commerce volume through the establishment of a Korea-to-US D2D (Door to Door) solution.

Gori Company, located in California, USA, is a partner of the United States Postal Service (USPS), which occupies more than 50% of the US last-mile market. Through its self-developed API integration system, it provides USPS waybills at affordable prices from any overseas country and offers last-mile solutions within the US to global e-commerce clients heading to the US.

Through this business agreement, Hanjin will be responsible for providing domestic fulfillment services through its courier and logistics network in Korea, linking Korean Air transportation services, and offering express customs clearance services through its US subsidiary.

It is also expected to enhance service synergy with ‘Global One-Click,’ launched last September to support domestic global sellers’ overseas expansion by enabling easy and convenient use of international shipping services.

Gori Company will handle last-mile delivery within the US by providing customers with reasonable prices and fast delivery convenience through its delivery optimization AI solution based on US postal code data.

Additionally, both companies will strengthen total logistics solution capabilities across the entire process from pickup to air transport and final delivery, securing price competitiveness to continuously upgrade international express services between Korea and the US. They plan to gradually expand market share by securing competitive reverse direct shipping volumes, including global e-commerce shipments from other Asian regions to the US, following the Korea-origin global e-commerce volume.

A Hanjin official stated, “Through this business agreement, the entry barrier to the reverse direct shipping market for excellent domestic small and medium-sized e-commerce companies, which have difficulty accessing US D2D delivery services, is expected to be lowered. Our company also plans to actively utilize its global network, including the US subsidiary, and e-commerce-related departments to provide customers with global logistics total solution services and continuously promote the expansion of global e-commerce volume.”
