The Seoul Metropolitan Government has introduced an additional feature to its unmanned parcel delivery service to better ensure women's safety.
Since 2013, the city has been offering an unmanned parcel delivery service with a local logistics company.
It allows women who live alone to receive parcels through an unmanned machine and pick them up anytime.
It was introduced to prevent crimes against women as there have been cases of robbers and worse... disguising themselves as deliverymen.
With the new feature, users can also SEND parcels through the unmanned machines.
The city operates 232 of the machines.
They are mostly located in residential areas that are home to a large number of one-person households.
