Shipping fee 1600 won... 'CUkkiri' launches lowest price parcel delivery service

Inter-store Parcel Delivery Utilizing Own Logistics Network

Lowest Domestic Rate of 1,600 KRW for Under 1kg

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] CU launched the 'CUkkiri' parcel delivery service on the 10th, allowing inter-store parcel delivery at ultra-low rates of 1,000 to 2,000 KRW by utilizing its own logistics network. The CUkkiri parcel service combines existing convenience store parcel delivery and pickup services, where parcels accepted at one CU store are directly picked up at the designated CU store for delivery.

The usage method is the same as regular parcel acceptance. At the store, select CUkkiri parcel acceptance from the post box (parcel equipment) provided, then enter the item details and delivery store (map search available). Both on-site acceptance and advance reservation via the CU Post website are possible.

CUkkiri parcel service handles only small parcels under 5kg. The shipping fee is the lowest in the country at 1,600 KRW for parcels under 1kg. For parcels over 1kg up to 5kg, the fee is 2,400 KRW.

Unlike regular parcel delivery, shipping is carried out through CU's own logistics company, BGF Logistics. Once a parcel is accepted at a store, it goes through a process of moving from regional logistics centers to the delivery store.

Because it uses CU's logistics network, parcel collection is available from Monday to Saturday, including holidays. Delivery time takes a minimum of 2 days within the same region, with an average of 3 to 4 days.

Delivery status can be checked on the CU Post website with just the acceptance tracking number, and when the parcel arrives at the designated store, a text message is sent to the recipient's number so they can verify their identity and pick up the parcel.

CU explained, "Following last year's launch of the home parcel service, this year we implemented the CUkkiri parcel service, equipping CU POST with both price competitiveness and user convenience," adding, "The cumulative monthly average usage of CU home parcel service from January to February this year increased by 250% compared to the previous year."

To celebrate the launch of the CUkkiri parcel service, CU is holding a quiz event on the CU Post website, offering prizes by lottery including 2 iPad Air 3rd generation units, 200 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, and 2,000 CU mobile gift certificates.
