Seven Eleven Holds 1,000 Won Flat-Rate Event for 'KakaoPay Parcel Service'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Seven Eleven is holding a super discount event on delivery fees as the number of consumers using parcel delivery increases ahead of the upcoming Chuseok holiday.

Seven Eleven offers the ‘KakaoPay Delivery Service,’ allowing the first 20,000 customers until the 25th to send parcels for only 1,000 KRW regardless of region.

The registration process is simple. Select ‘Convenience Store Reservation’ from the KakaoPay delivery service menu within KakaoTalk, enter the parcel information, and make the payment. Then, visit a nearby Seven Eleven store with the generated registration barcode and the parcel to be sent.

In particular, by visiting the store and using the unmanned parcel machine ‘KimPengGu’ located inside Seven Eleven, customers can register their parcels more conveniently on-site. There is no need to fill out parcel information separately; just scan the registration barcode, and the shipping label will be printed automatically. At stores without the KimPengGu parcel machine, simply show the registration barcode to the store staff without additional paperwork.

Additionally, until the end of this month, Seven Eleven is running an event where customers who use the parcel delivery service at Seven Eleven and enter the tracking number in the Seven Eleven mobile app can win prizes. Through a draw, Seven Eleven will award Sky Bridge Special Tour tickets (2 tickets per person, 10 winners) and Seven Eleven mobile gift certificates.

Ko Young-guk, head of Seven Eleven’s eBiz team, said, “This Chuseok, it is expected that many people will send holiday gifts instead of visiting their hometowns due to social distancing,” and added, “We hope this uniform delivery fee event prepared by Seven Eleven will help reduce the burden of delivery fees and provide an opportunity to convey heartfelt messages.”
