What is cu half-price delivery?
If you are dealing with used goods, you may have seen a lot of posts saying that half-price delivery is possible. Basically, half-price delivery refers to delivery between convenience stores. The name is a delivery service between convenience stores. So, when I send a parcel from a cu near me, the goods are received at a cu convenience store near the recipient. The problem is that you cannot receive it right away at home.
So it may be a little inconvenient, but it can be said to be a fairly novel method specialized for Korea, where convenience stores are so tightly networked across the country these days. There is a convenience store near my house.
First of all, cu half-price courier, or economical courier, can send items weighing up to 5kg or less, and the delivery period takes about 2 to 3 or 3 to 5 days, including the date of receipt. For reference, it’s comfortable to think about it for about a week. It’s slower than I thought. And it can only be sent in advance.

Send in person
Since you have to visit a convenience store to send it anyway, it is not a bad idea to visit in person and apply. Each convenience store has a delivery kiosk, so after entering all the information and printing the barcode, you pay at the counter and drop off the goods.
Each convenience store has a delivery box installed, but it is not as big as you might think. Also, the process of finding and entering the address at the kiosk can take some time, so it may be more convenient to make a reservation in advance.

Above, it says that the same ticket takes 2 to 5 days including the date of receipt, but in fact, in my experience, there were many cases where it took longer than this. So, unless it is something you need to receive urgently, I recommend using it. I think we need to think about 7 days as standard.
