Delivery service is’continued’ even on New Year holidays in’Home New Year’

Delivery service

During the Lunar New Year holidays this year, gift sets can be delivered at home one day before Lunar New Year’s Day. This is because the distribution industry expanded the delivery of gift sets until the day before Lunar New Year, as it is expected that many people will stay at home instead of returning home due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

On the 10th, Hyundai Department Store operates a’imminent holiday delivery service’ that delivers the same day delivery if you purchase a gift set by the 11th at 6 stores nationwide (Shinchon branch, Mia branch, D Cube City, Busan branch, Ulsan Donggu branch, etc.) “He said. For customers who receive delivery within a 5km radius of each store, orders by 5pm on the 11th will be delivered immediately in the evening. Customers who purchase Lunar New Year gift sets over 50,000 won receive free, and customers who purchase less than 50,000 won receive 5,000 won. The three hypermarkets also offer delivery services throughout the holiday season, excluding the 12th of Lunar New Year. Through SSG.com, E-Mart operates’sheep delivery’ except on the day of Lunar New Year (12th), and Lotte Mart and Homeplus also provide delivery service throughout the holiday season except for Lunar New Year.

Convenience store GS25 is also expected to see a significant increase in the number of customers using the’GS25 half-price courier’, which also ships on Lunar New Year. During the holiday season, convenience store courier services were usually stopped, but the GS25 half-price courier service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Half-price courier is a method that can be sent from GS25 through the GS25 logistics delivery network and visited by other GS25. The feature is that the delivery fee is reduced by setting the delivery period to 1 to 3 days and allowing the recipient to go directly to the store. The GS25 half-price courier is 40-50% of the general courier cost, ranging from a minimum of 1600 won (less than 500g) to a maximum of 2100 won (10kg).

Like Coupang, e-commerce (e-commerce) companies that have their own delivery systems also operate delivery services during the holidays. Coupang’s rocket delivery operates even during the Lunar New Year holidays, and Market Curly’s morning delivery (morning delivery) only takes one day off on the 13th. CJ Oliveyoung also provides a delivery service when products are purchased online or through an app during the holidays, excluding Lunar New Year’s Day. An Olive Young official said, “The last day of this year’s Lunar New Year holidays overlapped with Valentine’s Day, and we are greeted with so-called’Surlen Thai’. I decided to do it.”
