GS25 "Half-Price Parcel Service, Operating from Chuseok Holiday Orders to Delivery"

GS25 announced on the 21st that it will operate half-price parcel delivery services during the Chuseok holiday.

Half-price parcel delivery is a service where customers drop off parcels at GS25 stores and recipients pick them up at GS25 stores. All processes, from drop-off to delivery and pickup, are carried out through GS25's logistics network and in-house infrastructure.

This year, due to the longer-than-usual Chuseok holiday, regular parcel delivery services will have an extended closure period from the 25th to the 3rd of next month. As a result, GS25 expects a significant increase in the use of half-price parcel delivery during the holiday period for sending belated gifts or for secondhand transactions.

Since the service operates continuously even on holidays and festive days, the frequency of half-price parcel delivery usage during holidays has been growing significantly every year. In fact, the number of half-price parcel delivery orders during the Chuseok holiday increased steadily by 257.2% in 2021 and 88.6% in 2022 compared to the previous year.

For customers using half-price parcel delivery during the Chuseok holiday, an event will be held from the 25th to the 9th of next month, offering a 300 KRW discount when booking half-price parcel delivery through the Toss app. With the discount applied, customers can use the parcel service for between 1,500 KRW and 2,300 KRW. Additionally, for one month, an event will be held where 1,000 people who make reservations for half-price parcel delivery through the ‘Our Neighborhood GS’ app will be selected by lottery to receive 1,800 GS&POINTs.

Yoon Ji-ho, MD of the GS25 Service Planning Team, said, “Half-price parcel delivery is a service that operates continuously even on holidays and festive days, increasing customer convenience and meeting parcel delivery demand every year.” He added, “Since this year’s Chuseok holiday is unusually long, we expect a surge in demand for half-price parcel delivery, and we will do our best to ensure smooth parcel delivery services.”
