From tomorrow, a pilot project of private courier service for remote island post offices

The post office-private courier joint delivery pilot project for remote island residents will be implemented for two weeks starting tomorrow (21st).

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Post announced that they will push for a pilot project for joint delivery of packages to islands on four islands: Jawoldo and Seungbongdo, Daeijakdo, and Soyijakdo in Jawol-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said joint delivery reduces the delivery time, which takes three to four days for existing private couriers to deliver, to two days.

In addition, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said it plans to come up with a plan by the end of the year to have one private courier deliver the supplies of several couriers at once to increase delivery efficiency.
