Koreans celebrating Thanksgiving Day! Expect Shipping Delays!

Thanks Giving is a Public Holiday in Korea. After some goggle search, seem to me that a day before and after Thanksgiving day are also public holidays. I only know its a 3days Public Holidays.

Its similar to our Mooncake Festival hehehe whereby its on 15th of August of Lunar Month!

Anyway if u have open yr eyes wide enough LOL, u will realise that some sellers will put dates x.09.09 to x.10.09 .... something like this. This means that orders received after x.09.09 will be send out on x.10.09 or these period of time, they are not shipping anything.

I think Thanksgiving is a big event in Korea, just like Lunar New Year. Thanksgiving Day is where they pay respect to ancestors and have that kind of bond with family members too. So yea, its good if u have things to buy and to combine after yr first order and no good if u are in a rush to get yr items.
I just ordered something but i think not fast enough to 'catch' the last batch of domestic delivery before the sellers go to celebrate their Thanksgiving Day. I am not sure if we can wish someone Happy Thanks Giving day but hmmm , hope they enjoy their holidays and bonding with family.

So ok, u know now that sellers are most probably going to be 'not that prompt' during this period of time (seem to be anytime now to 05.10.09) so pls be patience and dont kar jiao (means disturb) customer service asking Where ARE my items?!?!

Even PO should be enjoying their holidays since its a PH. Our local PO also never work during holidays. So dont expect Koreans to be working on PH too
........ OK, I'm going to buy durian mooncakes to celebrate mooncakes festival too hooohoooo
