Uniqlo customers in Japan will now be able to pick up their purchases made online at 7-Eleven stores, according to a joint announcement made on Thursday.

The pickup service will start on February 16 and will be available at 5,700 7-Eleven convenience stores in Tokyo, as well as in Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba prefectures. Further pickup locations elsewhere in Japan will be added gradually.

Busy workers will mostly benefit from this initiative, with convenience stores open around the clock. Uniqlo’s online customers will be able to pick up merchandise any time either near the office or home, and will not be charged an extra fee for the service.
