K-Packet Alert: Temporary Suspension, USA DDP Launch
Sep 29, 20251. Temporary Suspension of K-Packet to ALL Countries
Due to the fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS), Korea Post’s systems are currently experiencing disruptions.
- As a result, K-Packet shipments to ALL countries are temporarily unavailable today.
- Service may resume as early as tomorrow (September 30th), but the recovery timeline is not yet confirmed.
2. Temporary Suspension of K-Packet to Canada
In addition, all K-packet shipments to Canada are currently suspended because of a nationwide strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) that began on September 25, 2025.
- If you need urgent shipping to Canada, please consider using FedEx or UPS as alternatives.
3. Upcoming K-Packet Service to the USA (with DDP Option)
Once the above issues are resolved, we will roll out K-Packet service to the USA with a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) option.
- This means you’ll pay import duties and taxes upfront together with shipping fees;
- You won’t need to worry about additional charges upon delivery!
Thank you for using our service as always.
