Online orders can be collected free from the selected store or are delivered at cost to the customer
home via a courier for an additional delivery fee
Centralized DC is used to distribute both store and online orders to each country. In each country the
online orders which the customer has selected to be collected in the store are delivered with the
regular replenishment orders to each store. The direct to consumer home delivery orders are
delivered centrally to the local/domestic courier company for next day delivery
Returnable items can be returned (free of charge) to a local store
Example: Zara
