Comparison of half-price delivery prices (GS25 vs CU convenience store)

Among half-price couriers, GS25 is widely used. Today, we will learn why GS25 is popular and how to send convenience store packages at the lowest price.

500g or less: 1,800 won
Over 0.5kg but under 1kg: KRW 2,200

Half-price delivery is the same for items weighing less than 500g at both GS25 and CU convenience stores. However, from the 500g and above range, CU is 100 won cheaper than GS25. Therefore, if you want to use it a little cheaper, please use CU courier service. Nevertheless, the reason why GS25 Courier is more famous is because it delivers quickly and has more convenience stores.
Why is the half-price delivery price so cheap?
The reason the half-price delivery price is low is because the destination is a convenience store, not the other person’s residence. Since the delivery driver only has to visit the convenience store instead of visiting each house, a lot of intermediate processes can be reduced.
When using half-price delivery, it is important that there is a convenience store near the recipient that offers half-price delivery, and the other party’s consent is required. You must also notify this fact as it will be returned if not received within 3 days of arrival at the store.

When sending a half-price parcel, you must install the GS POSTBOX app or access the website online. Of course, you can visit the site and apply for delivery without registering in advance, but it takes some time to type, so we recommend that you do so in advance. Afterwards, print out the invoice from the device, attach one and submit the other to the counter to complete the application.

Half price delivery review
Based on my own experience, it took 2 days for both CU and GS25 to complete the half-price delivery delivery. The collection standard is 9 a.m., but it varies depending on the region, and usually delivery is possible on the same day if sent in the morning.
Since half-price delivery is delivered to a convenience store rather than to the recipient’s home, thorough consultation with the recipient is required, and you must check through the app whether the convenience store in question can accept half-price delivery.
Also, as a caution, please double-check that you have entered the recipient’s mobile phone number correctly. A delivery notification message and a receipt QR code will be sent to the mobile phone number you entered. If the recipient does not have the QR code, the delivery may not be received. (The package is returned due to incorrect information on the sender’s package, or compensation is not processed in case of loss.)
If you frequently send half-price packages, you can save 100 or 200 won by accessing the app and receiving an attendance coupon. We sometimes give out 1,000 won coupons, so if you frequently send parcels, please take advantage of it.
