JAKARTA - If you are approaching the Christmas and New Year celebrations, you are looking for a delivery for your family or colleagues in the form of parcels, maybe Pasar Kembang, Cikini, Central Jakarta could be the answer. The market, which is opposite Cikini Station, has many parcel sellers selling their wares.
As soon as you turn towards the Flower Market from Jalan Raya Cikini, a row of parcel sellers is already on the left and right of the road. These parcels are colorful and available in various types, some of which contain food and drinks or ceramic furniture consisting of cups complete with saucers, and beautiful plates. If you want to come here, we recommend that you choose the time of the afternoon so you don't get scorched by the sun.
"Please, sis, have a look," said a parcel trader who we later learned was named Tini.
To us, Tini told us that she had been selling at that location since 10 years ago. The parcels that are traded are priced at a price ranging from Rp. 200 thousand to Rp. 1 million depending on the contents.
"For this one, cups, the price is around Rp. 300 thousand. It could be up to Rp. 500 thousand more, depending on the brand as well. The best one is Vicenza," said Tini, pointing to the parcel containing the ceramics she sold when found in the Pasar Kembang area, Cikini. , Central Jakarta, Saturday, December 21.
"These are the contents of our food, we open the price of Rp. 200 thousand, depending on the amount. There are also Rp1 million, which is large," he added.
Buyers, said Tini, can also bring the food they want to fill in the parcel. Later, the men just need to assemble the parcel to make it look attractive. This, he said, is often done by his customers. "If it's just a little bit, we can wait for the process. If it's a lot, it will take 2-3 days," he explained.
When asked whether or not there were officials who ordered parcels at his kiosk, Tini said there had not been any so far. Never mind officials, he said, merchandise enthusiasts were far less than in previous years.
To us, Tini also told us that parcel sales ahead of Christmas and New Year tend to be sluggish. Being able to sell five parcels a day is already profitable. He is also confused, why this year there are fewer parcel enthusiasts, even though at the Christmas and New Year 2018, Tini was able to reap quite a lot of profit.
"This year for Christmas New Year it's really quiet, we've only been selling for two days. Nothing else. I don't know why," said Tini, adding that she was lucky that she already had regular customers who came to her kiosk.
Even though it is quiet, he guarantees that the food parcels he sells are still in good condition. Because, he always checks the expiration date of the food in it. In addition, he assured that the expiration date of these foods is still very long.
Indeed, when we observe it, one of the parcels expiration date is still long. Around May 2020. "We'll just keep customer satisfaction. If it's not selling but it's about to expire, just eat it by yourself. Losing, but yes, than customers are disappointed. For ceramics, it's safe, it doesn't expire," he concluded with a smile. .
