[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] While Shinsegae Group belatedly expanded the free delivery service of Gmarket "Smile Club" to the benefit of "Shinsegae Universe Club," attention is being paid to the background of Gmarket's decision to raise the return delivery cost of smile delivery.
According to the distribution industry on the 4th, Gmarket has decided to raise the return delivery fee for smile delivery by 20% from the 3rd of next month.
If the delivery fee is paid in advance, it will be raised by 20% from the previous 2,500 won to 3,000 won, and from 5,000 won to 6,000 won for free delivery.
Smile Delivery is an overnight delivery service that Gmarket has been operating since 2014. G Market has a mega logistics center in Dongtan, Gyeonggi Province, and stores and ships the products of its sellers.
