Because of Corona, international sales and delivery organizations adopt new methods

As dependence on sales and electronic delivery services increases with the spread of the Corona virus, Amazon announced that it will make delivery service selections, and other companies will follow suit, at a time when traditional sales outlets across the world are witnessing significant restrictions.

E-shopping ensures that you stay away from direct contact with others and thus help protect against corona.

From this standpoint, the international electronic shopping markets have flourished, and even the major food and home food markets in Germany - including Aldi, Liddel and Reve - are providing electronic shopping even for the food needed by homes daily, with free delivery service to the consumer.

But the international retail giant, Amazon, announced since March 31 that it is making changes to the very fast delivery service that it is known to, in order to provide more caution to avoid direct contact between the distributor and the consumer.

The British newspaper "Daily Mirror" published the details of the new Amazon plan, the most important of which is that drivers who deliver Amazon goods to their buyers will not knock on the doors or ring the bells to deliver the orders.

"We believe that our role in serving our customers and societies in this circumstance has become critical, and we strive to secure the delivery of materials that people need to them, in case they need them," said a message reaching consumers from Amazon.

Place the goods at the entrance to the house
And Amazon’s message revealed that when delivering the goods - which do not require the identity of the recipient to be confirmed and confirmed as receiving - drivers will not knock on the doors or ring the bells when they are delivered, but rather they will place the goods at the entrance to the house or in a safe place designated by the buyer while ordering the goods.

In buildings that require the distributor to enter the goods into the inner courtyard, Amazon Bern drivers will make any bell that opens the door for them to enter the entrance courtyard, and there they place the goods in a safe place.

If the delivery of the goods requires the signature of the buyer, the driver will knock on the door as before, and stand at the doorstep of the buyer’s house or apartment with a separator that protects them from the spread of the Corona virus, and takes the signature of the receipt in this situation. If the buyer is not present at his home to receive the goods, the driver will deliver them to the official delivery center.

Possibility of late delivery
For their part, Amazon workers complain of having to work, while most shops selling unnecessary materials around the world are disrupted. One of them commented to the British newspaper - on condition of anonymity - that the situation is "hell" for workers crowded with distribution and reception centers, saying that it is impossible for workers to take into account the element of staying away from each other due to their chronic preoccupation and heavy presence.

As for the international German carrier "DHL", he denied that he had made restrictions on his services in Germany, but he warned of the possibility of delay in delivery services.

A statement posted on the company’s website confirmed that it seeks to limit the speed of the virus’s spread, while ensuring full coverage of messaging and packet delivery services. To this end, the carrier applies preventive measures that respond to the directions of the responsible authorities, to reduce the risk margin of infection on both sides.

Eliminate the need for a signature
The statement indicated that their services in this circumstance have eliminated the need for the beneficiary to sign the service when receiving the letter or package registered by mail, to reduce the possibilities of meeting, contact or proximity, and if some of the beneficiaries of the service object to this mechanism, their messages and packages will be deposited in the post office near them, Where they go to receive their needs and sign them in the center.

The group also advised the beneficiaries of its services to confirm the transfer of the transmitters to them to a selected point they specify, so that the concerned people can deliver it to them without realizing a direct meeting between the postman and the beneficiary of the service.
