If Visiting Your Hometown Is Difficult Due to COVID-19, Try the 'Coupang Rocket Gift' Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheolhyun] Coupang announced on the 8th that it will hold the '2020 Chuseok' special exhibition until October 1st in celebration of Chuseok. During this period, all products related to Chuseok, from ritual supplies to filial piety electronics, are gathered and organized into promotional pages such as ▲Gift Sets ▲Holiday Preparation ▲Chuseok Table ▲Pre-Reservation ▲Rocket Gift to help customers shop conveniently.

In the Gift Sets and Holiday Preparation exhibitions, recommendations by price range are provided, as well as special exhibitions such as 'Gifts for Honored People,' 'Practical Gifts,' and 'Unique Taste Gifts.' The Chuseok Table exhibition offers meal kits and instant foods for those spending Chuseok alone, as well as separately gathered ritual and food ingredients used on the ancestral rites table for added shopping convenience. Additionally, popular products such as health supplements, electronics, kitchenware, and cosmetics are sold daily at special prices. This Chuseok exhibition also includes products from small and medium sellers on Coupang Marketplace. Products from competitive small and medium sellers are exposed together in the exhibition, which is expected to increase sellers' sales.

The limited-time special pre-reservation for Chuseok gifts also draws attention. With the pre-reservation special, until the 13th, nutritional supplements, food, and hair & body gift sets are sold, and until the 22nd, fresh food gift sets such as abalone, Korean beef, dried yellow corvina, and fruits are sold at up to 54% discounted prices. Customers who purchase during the pre-reservation period can receive their products via dawn delivery on the date they specify, including the 14th and before the Chuseok holidays on the 25th, 27th, and 28th by 7 a.m. The 'Delivery Date Designation Service' is also provided, allowing customers to specify a desired delivery date within up to one week, and the product will be delivered on the selected day.

The 'Coupang Rocket Gift' service, which allows customers to send products sold on Coupang as gifts, is expected to receive positive responses from customers who cannot visit their hometowns due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The sender can easily send gifts via mobile by only knowing the recipient's contact information without needing their address, and the recipient can enter the delivery address to receive Rocket Delivery products the next day and Rocket Fresh products by 7 a.m. the following day. A wide variety of products, including bouquets, fruit baskets, toys, Korean beef sets, and massage chairs, totaling hundreds of thousands of items, are prepared.

Yoon Hyeyoung, Vice President of Retail at Coupang, said, "Due to the untact atmosphere, we have prepared a variety of practical gifts and ritual supplies for customers who cannot visit their hometowns during Chuseok," adding, "Coupang will continue to do its best to provide better customer experiences by ensuring customers can receive reliable products quickly and conveniently."
