CJ, Hanjin, and Lotte to Pause Deliveries on Aug 14-15; Coupang and Kurly Operating Normally

Major domestic courier companies will suspend their delivery services from the 14th to the 15th.

CJ Logistics announced on the 10th that it has designated August 14 to 15 as Courier's Day Off, allowing approximately 20,000 of its delivery workers nationwide to take a collective break.

Consequently, the collection of short-term perishable items, such as fresh, refrigerated, and frozen goods, will be suspended starting from the 13th, and deliveries will resume sequentially from the 16th.

Hanjin Transportation and Lotte Global Logistics have also designated the same period as Courier's Day Off.

Unlike individual vacations taken by individual delivery workers, Courier's Day Off is a system where the entire industry takes a break together, and response from delivery workers in the field has been positive.

According to a survey conducted by CJ Logistics among its delivery workers on the 6th and 7th, 92.3% of the 4,763 respondents expressed positive views regarding the industry-wide joint day off, such as maintaining the current level or including Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays as days off.

Coupang, Kurly, and other companies have decided to proceed with deliveries as usual.
