Korean parcel delivery is mostly solved by writing the address and request note accurately. Here's the address entry, request notes, and unmanned-locker pickup that often trip up foreigners.
Writing the address
Korean shopping sites use a 3-field structure: postal code (5 digits), main address (road name + building number), and detail address (unit, floor, room). An English address is written in reverse order (small unit to large).
Pickup and returns
- Seoul Safe Locker: add 'Seoul Safe Parcel Locker' at the end of the address, pick up within 48 hours (1,000 won/day after)
- CU half-price delivery: store-to-store pickup, cheaper than regular delivery
- GS Postbox returns: file directly at GS25 with a return reservation number
- If you're out: use unmanned lockers or convenience-store pickup
