Indotama serves households

JAKARTA (JP): Indotama Cooperative has become the first
cooperative in the country to enter the retail delivery service.

The cooperative's chairman, S. Daniel Phrang, said on
Wednesday that the cooperative started its household shopping
service early this month to serve customers in Jakarta, Tangerang
and Bekasi.

He said goods would arrive at the purchasers' addresses within
a week and deliveries were free of charge.

"We do not charge any transportation cost to our members, so
with low operational costs we can offer prices 10 percent lower
than supermarkets."

He said the lower prices were possible because Indotama bought
the goods directly from producers and delivered them to consumers
immediately.

Indotama Cooperative was established in August by employees of
trading company PT Indoashri Tradertama, but its membership is
widely open to public.

It also offers a lifetime monthly income by establishing a
network similar to a multilevel marketing system. (gis)
