| Express Delivery and Logistics |
GDEX - Delivery Service You Trust. The slogan that the company had been using since 1997 when it was formed. GDEX is a courier service which operates a network of 136 stations, comprising of 59 branches, 2 affiliate stations, 52 agents and 23 lodge-in centres through East and West Malaysia. GDEX has a fleet of more than 400 trucks and vans used primariliy for hauling of documents and parcels between stations and the National Hub (termed "line-haul" fleet) for local pick-ups and deliveries [1]. The principal activities of GDEX are express delivery and logistics. Express delivery is delivery of products from door to door. Logistics is defined as warehousing and distribution for the products. There are a lot of competitors for the delivery services, like, Fedex, DHL, Pos Laju, ABX, Nationwide and etc etc. But in Malaysia, only GDEX and POS are listed in Bursa. And moreover, GDEX is Malaysia homegrown company. So i guess we should be support local companies. GDEX is highly active in Malaysia and Singapore.
As we all know, the growing trend now in our world is online shopping aka e-Commerce. Online shopping is very convenient and easy. Just one disadvantage about online shopping, sometimes the thing we buy might not be the same as we buy. I tried online shopping buying a jacket, my personal experience is very convenient and easy, which prompt me to buy more stuff online. The reason why i am attracted to GDEX is because of the approaching Christmas Season. Christmas is a season of giving and receiving. Everywhere is decorated with Christmas decorations totally a happy atmosphere. And usually in the year end, there will be sales everywhere, and of course, there are sales in online shopping also. I browsed through Zalora and Lazada websites. And i noticed that GDEX had been doing their deliveries (refer to the pictures below). For Lazada, there is even Mega Days sales, counting down... If there are Mega Sales, things will be cheap, and consumers will buy more and more deliveries will be made.
