GS25 convenience store half-price delivery price and usage method
For second-hand transactions within the same area, I mainly use Carrot Market direct transaction, but there are often cases where the item I want to sell is not traded near my house. In cases like this, I often use Naver Jungjongnara or Lightning Market, which are all over the country. When using Lightning Market, you can use Lightning Courier, which can be used at CU convenience stores or GS25 convenience stores at a slightly cheaper price than regular courier services, but this courier fee is too expensive when sending items that are too small in size and weight. 반값택배 가격 비교

So these days, I mainly use GS25 or CU convenience store half-price delivery service when sending light items. Convenience store half-price delivery does not deliver goods to the buyer’s doorstep, but to the ‘convenience store designated by the buyer.’ The buyer simply goes to the designated convenience store to pick up the delivery. The advantage is that the cost is very low compared to regular courier service because it uses the convenience store logistics network rather than the general courier logistics network. You can also track your parcel the same way as regular parcel delivery.
To apply for GS25 half-price delivery, you must use the website or dedicated app. Non-member registration is possible even if you do not register as a member, but I personally recommend downloading the dedicated app and using it after registering as a member. Below is a method of downloading the app yourself, registering for delivery in advance on your mobile phone, going to a convenience store, and using the delivery force.
GS25 half-price delivery price (freight) information (revised on February 1, 2023)
Before weight change After change Increase amount
~500g 1,600 won 1,800 won +200 won
~1kg 1,900 won 2,200 won +300 won
~5kg 2,300 won 2,600 won +300 won
Although the half-price delivery price was increased in February 2023, it is still very cheap compared to regular delivery.
You can go to a convenience store and send a package without any preparation, but in that case, you will have to hang around in front of the delivery desk for a long time. It’s really hard to input names, phone numbers, addresses, etc. using the touch screen of the courier POS screen. It is best to just make a delivery reservation in advance and visit a convenience store.

GS25 convenience store delivery app
Download GS25 from the Play Store. You can apply as a non-member on the website, but since this is a platform that will continue to be used in the future, I completed membership registration along with the download.
Half price delivery reservation
Select ‘Half-price delivery reservation’ on the app main screen. Then, a sign-up and log-in window will pop up, so select ‘Sign up’. You can also make a reservation as a non-member through the app. After signing up, go through the mobile phone verification process and follow the instructions to complete the registration.
Half price delivery reservation
Once you have completed membership registration and login, you can apply for delivery. Compared to regular courier services, there are more items that cannot be accepted. Food, glass, acrylic, ceramics, precious metals, letters, and liquids cannot even be accepted. Click Select Item to select the type of product. I chose the home appliance category because I was sending camera batteries.
Product value
After selecting the product, enter the price of the delivery contents. The price of the product cannot exceed 500,000 won, and delivery charges may vary depending on the price. An error of 10,000 to 20,000 won is not a problem.
Next, write the return address (the person sending the package). This is a system in which if a package arrives at a convenience store and is not picked up, the package is returned to the sender.
Arrival convenience store
Click ‘Find Convenience Store’ to search for the convenience store designated by the recipient. The place I chose is GS25 Hanam Buyeong branch. If the address is correct, click ‘Specify a convenience store for half-price delivery’. If you click on the name of a convenience store, the location of that convenience store will be displayed.
Make a courier reservation
When I click “Reserve Delivery,” the reservation should be completed, but an error message appears. It turned out that I had to click once on the ‘I understand before booking half price delivery’ section at the top of the screen. Click “Acknowledged” and click “Reserve Delivery” again.
Half-price delivery packaging confirmed, reservation completed
A half-price delivery packaging confirmation message appears. Compared to regular couriers, the weight limit is high and the size restrictions on the courier box are also strict. The weight of the delivered item must be less than 5kg, the sum of the three sides should be less than 80cm, and the value of the item cannot exceed 500,000 won. Select ‘Confirmed’ to complete your reservation.
Reservation details
If you check the reservation details, you can confirm that the delivery has been properly received.
Now, visit the nearby GS25 convenience store to send the parcel.
GS25 half-price delivery force
You will see a delivery POS device that looks like this on one side of the convenience store. Select ‘Half Price Delivery’ at the bottom of the main screen.
Notice
Information on the half-price delivery fare increase and service precautions are shown. Click Continue Submission. Since we have already applied for delivery, let’s click on membership application.
QR login
The member login screen will appear. Rather than trying to enter your phone number and password, select QR login on the right. Then a QR code is created. Now run the GS25 convenience store delivery app.
QR login
When you select the plus icon at the bottom right of the app main screen, a separate menu will appear as shown in the photo above. After selecting QR login here, when the camera runs, it recognizes the QR code of the delivery POS machine. Then, you will be automatically logged in and select ‘Submit Reservation’ here.
Now all you have to do is follow the instructions and select the screen. Once the recipient has been properly identified, select Weigh. If you select weight measurement, you will be informed of delivery precautions once again, so just click OK.
When you place a package on the scale, the weight is automatically recognized.
When I signed up for membership, I received coupons to commemorate my membership, and those coupons were applied automatically. The original fee is 1,800 won, but you can use it for 1,500 won with a coupon discount. Click Check Fare.
Print out waybill
Check the agreement to use personal information and select print invoice. Now the waybill is printed on the POS device.
log out
Select Shutdown (log out) on the POS device. The use of the delivery POS device is now over.
Remove the long part of the printed invoice and attach it to the delivery box. All you have to do is bring the small receipt attached to the right to the counter and pay.
Each convenience store is a little different, but some have a separate place to collect half-price parcels, and some give the delivery box to the clerk after paying and they automatically place it in a designated location. So, if you bring the delivery box and receipt to the counter and pay, the clerk will take care of it.
CU Convenience Store half-price delivery service can be accepted in almost the same way. Although there are inconveniences in that the buyer receiving the delivery must agree to half-price delivery and the buyer has to pick up the delivery at a convenience store rather than at home, it can certainly save a lot on delivery costs.
