Per Kyunghyang, with the parcel industry taking Aug. 15 (Liberation Day) off, most general parcel deliveries will halt, while some e-commerce firms with their own logistics networks will still deliver that day.

The delivery holiday is tied to protecting drivers' right to rest—letting parcel workers rest together as the logistics network broadly pauses on the public holiday.

For consumers, it's worth checking order and delivery timing in advance. Deliveries clustering around the holiday can cause delays, so ordering urgent items with time to spare is wise.

Differences between firms with their own delivery and general parcel companies also affect consumers: even on the same holiday, whether delivery happens varies by firm, which can cause confusion.
