The shipper's 2am message during Lunar New Year caused strong emotions and received much sympathy from the online community.
As the Lunar New Year (Seollal) approaches, delivery workers in South Korea are facing immense pressure from the surge in orders. This has forced them to apologize to customers for the inconvenience of late-night deliveries. These apology messages, when shared on social media, have received sympathy and support from netizens.
On January 22, a post titled “Delivery workers are exhausted every hour” went viral on forums and social media. The post collected messages from delivery workers, showing their struggles in handling the huge volume of orders.
A message shared on January 21 read: “Due to the large number of orders, I have just left the center and am expected to finish the delivery at around 2am. I sincerely apologize for the delay, I hope you understand.”
The recipient of the message, identified as A, posted the message on social media with the following statement: “2am - is this reasonable? Even if I say ‘Just deliver it slowly,’ it won’t change anything.”
Goods pile up at a logistics center in Gwangjin district, Seoul on Thursday (January 23) as the Lunar New Year holiday approaches.
Another user, identified as B, shared a message sent by a delivery person to 420 customers: “Due to the sudden increase in orders during the holiday, I cannot guarantee same-day delivery. Please understand. I will not take calls to save my phone battery, as it will be used during the delivery process until morning. I sincerely apologize and hope to receive your understanding.”
B emotionally shared: "This message really hurt me."
Many netizens expressed sympathy with comments such as: “I almost cried when I saw the delivery truck passing by late last night,” or “I hope that one day, two-week delays in delivery will become normal.” Others suggested the idea of limiting the number of deliveries per day to reduce the pressure on delivery staff.
