CJ Logistics said on the 23rd it will activate a special transport system based on its daily O-NE service ahead of the Chuseok holiday. The move aims to enhance consumer convenience and expand opportunities for sellers in line with a surge in delivery demand before and after Chuseok.
Through the special transport system, CJ Logistics will deliver as normal on National Foundation Day (Oct. 3) and Hangeul Day (Oct. 9), which fall before and after the Chuseok break. Deliveries will pause only during the Chuseok holiday from the 5th to the 7th of next month. However, some parcel drop-off cutoffs for shipments during that period will close early.
Personal parcels and fresh foods bound for Jeju and island regions close on the 30th of this month, and shipments to eup and myeon areas finish intake on the 3rd of next month. The company said this is to ease peak-season congestion and maintain delivery quality, securing delivery stability and service continuity.
CJ Logistics also said it can reduce on-site burdens by expanding delivery days. By linking its delivery demand forecasting system with automation facilities and region-by-region flexible dispatching, orders accumulated over the holiday can be distributed rather than hitting all at once.
CJ Logistics also pre-positioned personnel and vehicles immediately after the holiday so that the workload of on-site members would not be skewed. The plan is to enhance on-site stability while expanding delivery days so that benefits return to consumers and sellers.
Yun Jae-seung, head of the O-NE division at CJ Logistics, said, "Even during the long holiday, by operating to increase delivery days, we provide 'uninterrupted delivery' to consumers and broaden shipment flexibility and sales opportunities for sellers," adding, "We will solidify our competitive edge in delivery through data-driven innovation while steadily improving on-site working conditions."
