[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Mesh Korea (CEO Yoo Jung-beom), a comprehensive digital logistics company operating 'Boorung,' announced on the 13th that it has signed a 'contract for same-day delivery service provision' with Kyobo Bookstore (CEO Park Young-gyu) at the Gimpo Boorung Logistics Center located in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province.

Under this contract, Mesh Korea will provide a service that delivers books twice a day on the same day to customers located within a 5 km radius of Kyobo Bookstore's Gwanghwamun, Jamsil, and Gangnam branches when using the 'Barodream' service. In the future, the service area will be expanded to Kyobo Bookstore's branches nationwide.

Mesh Korea and Kyobo Bookstore expect that the same-day delivery service will alleviate the inconvenience for customers who currently have to wait more than a day to order and receive books or visit bookstores in person to pick them up.
