Lotte Global Logistics is partnering with the self-storage (shared storage) platform 'Mini Storage DaLock' to launch a doorstep pickup service that collects customers' belongings and delivers them directly to the storage facility.

Lotte Global Logistics announced on the 15th that it will provide a doorstep pickup service through the DaLock platform. The service is characterized by allowing customers to handle everything from pickup requests to storage in one go through the DaLock application (app), eliminating the need for customers to transport their belongings to the storage location themselves.

When a user requests a doorstep pickup on the DaLock app, Lotte Global Logistics visits the designated location to collect the belongings and transports them to DaLock's storage facility. Afterwards, DaLock handles item inspection, internal transfer, storage, and inventory management. The service covers personal items that can be packed in standard courier boxes.

DaLock is a self-storage platform that has secured approximately 130,000 cumulative members and 250 storage facilities nationwide. It is a service that provides personal storage units in urban areas to store personal items such as seasonal goods and household supplies.

Through this collaboration, Lotte Global Logistics plans to expand its logistics service scope beyond existing courier reception channels to lifestyle platforms. Moving forward, the company intends to pursue partnerships with other self-storage operators as well and link doorstep collection and delivery services to various lifestyle platforms to capture new logistics demand.

An official from Lotte Global Logistics stated, "This collaboration is meaningful in that it has secured new service touchpoints by directly connecting logistics services to lifestyle platforms used by customers," adding, "We will enhance customer convenience by expanding strategic collaborations with various lifestyle platforms."
