eBay Korea Smile Delivery delivered 5,100 'Energy Boxes' to courier drivers.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] eBay Korea Smile Delivery announced on the 1st that it delivered 5,100 Energy Boxes containing snacks, health foods, and safety gloves to delivery drivers through the ‘Thanks to Smile Season 2’ campaign.

Thanks to Smile Season 2 is a campaign that supports delivery drivers who are struggling to handle the surge in deliveries due to COVID-19, together with sellers and buyers. From March 15 to June 8, eBay Korea partnered with Smile Delivery affiliated brands to print support messages from Smile Delivery customers to delivery drivers and include them in the Energy Boxes. During the event period, a total of 33,000 support messages for delivery drivers were collected.

Four Smile Delivery partner brands participated by providing products for the Energy Boxes. Lotte Confectionery supplied snacks, Ottogi provided cup noodles, and Jayeon-ui Pumgyeok and Celtive offered health functional foods such as calcium and krill oil. eBay Korea also included additional items such as 3M work gloves and Maxim mix coffee. Among the support messages registered by buyers on the Gmarket and Auction websites, 20 were selected to create random message cards that were delivered together with the boxes.

An eBay Korea official said, “This event was organized with the intention that both sellers and buyers recognize and support the labor and efforts of delivery drivers,” adding, “As a sharing open market that shares hearts, we will create various opportunities to connect sellers and buyers and share kindness with neighbors throughout society.”
