Chapter 1: What is this about?
Amazon.co.jp now offers a discount when choosing the 「無料ゆっくり配達」(Free Slow Delivery) option. This works for those who don’t mind waiting a little longer for their orders.
Chapter 2: Details of 「無料ゆっくり配達」
This service lowers the product price in exchange for a longer delivery time. Right now, only a few items qualify, but it’s a good way to save money if there’s no rush.
Other online stores in Japan also offer similar services. ZOZOTOWN, a popular fashion retailer, started its own 「ゆっくり配送」(Slow Delivery) service in August 2024. This option ships orders 7 to 10 days after purchase, making the wait up to six days longer than standard shipping.
This change helps businesses adjust to Japan’s Work Style Reform Law, which aims to improve labor conditions.
