On June 3rd, major delivery services in South Korea, including Coupang's Rocket Delivery, will halt operations due to the presidential election. This suspension is to allow delivery workers to exercise their voting rights. However, consumers can still receive essential goods and groceries through local supermarkets like Emart, Lotte Mart, and Homeplus, which will offer normal delivery services through mobile apps. The suspension affects several major e-commerce platforms, but alternatives such as quick commerce from smaller logistic companies and delivery riders are available. Consumers can order same-day items from corporate supermarkets and convenience stores, ensuring delivery through quick commerce options.
