GS25, the convenience store chain operated by GS Retail, said on the 26th that it has expanded the delivery destinations for its "Tomorrow Delivery" service nationwide as of the 24th, after previously limiting them to Seoul and the greater metropolitan area. Parcels can still only be dropped off within the metropolitan area, but they can now be sent anywhere in the country.
Tomorrow Delivery guarantees next-day arrival for parcels dropped off before 5 p.m. on weekdays or before noon on Saturdays. Usage has grown steadily since the service launched in December last year, with July sales rising fivefold from the early days after launch.
For the relaunch, GS25 tripled the number of drop-off locations in the metropolitan area to about 9,500 stores. It also expanded the delivery area from the metropolitan area to nationwide, excluding some regions such as Jeju and remote islands and mountainous areas.
To mark the relaunch of Tomorrow Delivery, GS25 is offering a 500-won discount to all customers through the 31st. Customers can use the next-day delivery service for as little as 3,000 won.
A GS Retail official said the company has expanded the Tomorrow Delivery service area nationwide for customers who want faster delivery. "We will refine the service process in detail and improve satisfaction for niche demand to establish ourselves as Korea's No. 1 connectivity platform," the official said.
