GS25 Expands "Naeil Delivery" Nationwide... Strengthens Next-Day Delivery Service
About 9,500 Metropolitan Area Stores Now Accept Shipments
Expanded Coverage: Three Times More Locations, Excluding Jeju and Remote Islands
500-Won Discount Promotion from August 24 to 31
Next-Day Delivery Starting at Just 3,000 Won
GS25, operated by GS Retail, announced on August 26 that it has expanded its "Naeil Delivery" service, previously available only in Seoul and the metropolitan area, to nationwide coverage.
Starting from August 24, the company increased the number of stores accepting shipments to about 9,500 in the metropolitan area and expanded the delivery region to all parts of Korea. Jeju and certain island/mountainous regions are excluded.
"Naeil Delivery" is a service that delivers items by the next day if they are accepted by 5 p.m. on weekdays or by noon on Saturdays. Since its launch in December of the previous year, demand has continued to increase, with usage rising by about 400% as of July this year compared to the initial launch period. In response, GS25 plans to expand the service area nationwide to enhance convenience for customers who need faster delivery.
Eligible items for the service must have a combined length, width, and height of no more than 160 cm and weigh no more than 20 kg. Pricing starts at 3,500 won for parcels up to 350 grams within the same region, and goes up to 9,100 won for parcels up to 20 kg, with the fee determined according to weight.
To celebrate the nationwide expansion, a special promotion will be held from August 24 to 31, offering a 500 won discount to all customers. With this discount applied, customers can use next-day delivery services starting at just 3,000 won.
In addition to "Naeil Delivery," GS25 also operates a variety of other services, including the "Half-Price Delivery" for shipping and pick-up at stores, "Visiting Courier" where the courier collects the items in person, and "International Delivery." Notably, "Half-Price Delivery" sees robust demand, with an average of about 1 million transactions per month.
