CJ Logistics has announced a nationwide "delivery holiday" for August 14-15, during which all parcel services will be suspended. This break will allow approximately 20,000 delivery personnel across the country to rest. The company stated that this initiative aims to provide a much-needed respite for its hardworking staff.

As a result of the delivery holiday, the collection of short-term storage items, such as fresh, refrigerated, and frozen foods, will cease on August 13. Deliveries are scheduled to resume sequentially starting August 16. CJ Logistics has informed its clients, nationwide collection points, and delivery personnel about this schedule in advance to minimize disruption.

The company emphasized that this measure is intended to improve the working conditions for its delivery drivers, acknowledging the demanding nature of their jobs. By providing a unified break, CJ Logistics hopes to prevent a backlog of work and ensure a smoother operation once services resume.
