Korean secondhand trading platform Karrot (당근) will hold its first "Karrot Day" (당근절) on October 10. Users who place orders through the platform's "Direct Purchase" (바로구매) on that day can enjoy up to 5 "zero shipping fee" discounts per person. The discount requires no separate coupon registration and is automatically applied at checkout, allowing low-priced items and scarce items to be traded nationwide without burden; the platform notes that the offer may end early depending on operational circumstances.

Key Points

  • On October 10, Karrot Direct Purchase users get up to 5 free shipping uses per person, automatically applied at checkout with no coupon needed.
  • Delivery is handled entirely by CJ Logistics (CJ대한통운), which picks up and delivers via its 7-day-a-week delivery service "O-NE."
  • The two companies have partnered since the Direct Purchase service launched last September; after switching to nationwide service in March this year, transaction volume has maintained double-digit monthly growth.

According to supple.kr, Karrot Day is an event newly established this year to activate neighborhood secondhand trading and spread a sustainable consumption culture.

The logistics segment is undertaken by CJ Logistics. After a seller requests shipment, a CJ Logistics courier picks up the item and delivers it to the buyer, with the entire process from pickup to final delivery handled by this logistics system, providing users with a safer and more convenient trading experience. CJ Logistics takes on this Direct Purchase delivery business with its nationwide logistics infrastructure and network, as well as its 7-day-a-week "O-NE" service.

The partnership between the two began when Karrot's Direct Purchase service launched last September, and CJ Logistics has since exclusively handled Direct Purchase delivery, jointly building a nationwide secondhand trading environment. As the trading scope expanded from local to nationwide and the service switched to nationwide operation in March this year, transaction volume has recorded double-digit monthly growth.

CJ Logistics stated that it hopes the Karrot Day discounts will let more customers experience its convenient logistics services, and said it will continue to launch differentiated person-to-person (C2C) delivery services through lifestyle logistics service innovation to enhance customer convenience. The company also expects Karrot Day to improve the convenience of secondhand trading delivery, expand its touchpoints with individual customers, and drive an influx of new users.

For the used clothing and idle item trading industry, nationwide logistics networks and free shipping promotions are lowering the threshold for cross-regional circulation of secondhand goods, and the transaction growth rate of this partnership also reflects the supporting role of C2C delivery capabilities in the expansion of secondhand trading scale.
