Lawson Inc. and Japan Post said Wednesday the convenience store operator will handle Japan Post parcels at its 7,850 outlets nationwide starting in mid-November.
The tieup terminates Lawson's alliance with Yamato Transport Co. At present, Lawson exclusively handles Yamato's packages.
Lawson and Japan Post already have a tieup deal, with Japan Post's mailboxes set up in Lawson outlets and Lawson opening stores inside post offices.
