Hey, I am looking at buying some items off of Gmarket. I am looking at a couch, and possibly a tv stand or coffee table. When do they ship? I work most the week (monday-friday 10AM to 6PM). Would I need to leave my apartment open so they can put it in there? Or would I have to find a way to get it to my apartment myself?

I ordered a few things from G-Market. I bought a decent sized chair and they just left it downstairs with the old fart that watches television all day. I think if they deliver it, they will just leave it outside your apartment or with the worthless porter. You could also leave a note or have a Korean friend write a note giving them some specific orders.

They deliver on Saturday, too.

Your best bet is to order your item on Thursday and you should receive it on Saturday.

You can message the seller and ask him to ship it so it is delivered on Saturday. Or, in the 배송요구사항 (er, Options for shipping/To the delivery guy) box, ask to have it delievered on Saturday since you work every weekday.

If it`s not too big then sent it to your workplace or school.

I've ordered quite a bit from Gmarket and I always had it shipped on Saturday. They will also call before they deliver. It only took about 2-3 days for each item. I had my Korean friend type it in to the delivery message and put down his cell number so he could call me before it was delivered, but still - it worked great.

I have another question, most things say "fee upon delivery" if you are not there to get the package how do you pay for delivery? This may sound like a stupid question but I am probably not going to be home when the deliver it... how does this work?

One time I was not there and they left it with my apartment manager. They said they would come back to pick up the money.

I ordered a chair and had them deliver after 4.30. The guy rang me when he was there.
