Coupang, the country s largest e-commerce company, said Wednesday it has been expanding the scope of online gifting, with non-face-to-face purchasing becoming a common trend due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Previously, online gift giving was limited to relatively cheap coupons for coffee or birthday flowers, but now the scope of online gifting has extended to various purposes such as presents for seasonal holidays, weddings and housewarming parties.
Coupang said its gifting service, launched in April, is enjoying increasing popularity because consumers can send presents using the company s signature next-day delivery service Rocket Delivery.
