Daiso's same-day delivery service has been revived since March. Daiso announced the launch of its "Today Delivery" beta service in parts of Gangnam, Seocho, and Songpa districts. With this addition, Daiso now offers five delivery options including parcel delivery, store pickup, regular delivery, bulk orders, and same-day delivery.
Daiso's Today Delivery service allows customers to receive their orders within 4 hours. The service is available for orders placed between 9 AM and 5 PM, and operates on weekends and holidays as well.
To place an order, customers must first access Daiso Mall. In December 2023, Daiso integrated its two e-commerce channels, Daiso Mall and Shop Daiso, into a single Daiso Mall platform, which is accessible via both web and app.
Users select their desired products on Daiso Mall and choose the Today Delivery option. The minimum order amount is 15,000 won, and the maximum weight per order is 10kg. Products that are bulky or heavy may be delivered in multiple shipments. The Today Delivery fee is a flat rate of 5,500 won. If you're wondering whether this is too expensive in an era where free delivery has become standard, we'll address this question later in the content.
After payment, a nearby Daiso store prepares the products, which are then picked up and delivered by a delivery partner's rider. This is essentially motorcycle-based delivery. Customers receive a KakaoTalk notification when the delivery leaves the store, providing visibility.
