Currently, the basic delivery fee in the connected land areas within the jurisdiction averages 5,000 KRW, while in the non-connected land areas, additional delivery fees are incurred on top of the basic fee.

In areas excluding Heuksan, an average of 5,000 KRW is added, and in the Heuksan area, additional fees range from 7,000 KRW to 15,000 KRW, placing a significant financial burden on residents.

Accordingly, the county has decided to support 7,000 KRW per delivery for the Heuksan area and 5,000 KRW for non-connected land areas excluding Heuksan, with a maximum limit of 100,000 KRW per person.

Residents wishing to receive support for additional delivery fees can submit an application to the town or township office responsible for their registered address from the 21st until the 22nd of next month.

Furthermore, the support funds will be paid into the applicant’s personal account within the limit amount in November, after the delivery company verifies the applicant’s delivery usage information.

Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, “By supporting the additional delivery fees that have increased the economic burden on island residents, we hope to provide some relief to household finances,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure continuous support to improve the living conditions of our residents in the future.”
