The delivery fee charged when ordering food, even if delivered from the same restaurant to the same place, was found to vary greatly depending on the delivery app used.
The Price Monitoring Center of the Korean Council of Consumer Organizations investigated the delivery cost that consumers have to pay when ordering with the minimum amount in the Chinese food, pizza and Korean food industries by delivery app for two days on the 6th and 17th of last month.
Even under the same conditions, the delivery cost differed depending on the delivery app in 96% of cases.
Even in the same district, street section, or single delivery, there were cases where there was a difference of up to 4,000 won per app.
In addition, as a result of comparing the delivery costs in September compared to July, 16.2% of the surveyed companies raised their delivery costs, and 24.3% decreased their delivery costs.
When using a delivery service, you should carefully consider the delivery cost, delivery time, and coupon discount for each delivery app before placing an order.
