Korean logistics stop almost completely during two major holidays, and orders placed just before them sit idle for days.
Seollal (Lunar New Year)
Late January or February depending on the lunar calendar. Domestic delivery pauses for roughly four to five days, with backlog for a week after.
Chuseok
September or October. Same effect, similar duration.
Planning around them
Order at least two weeks before either holiday, or wait until a week after for normal service.

Do warehouses close too?
Domestic carriers pause, so inbound deliveries stop even if the warehouse is staffed.
Are air shipments affected?
Flights continue, but items cannot reach the warehouse to be shipped.
