Samsung Electronics is carrying out this service in collaboration with the ‘Drone Demonstration City Construction Project’ hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It will be operated using drone delivery infrastructure such as drone equipment, take-off and landing zones, and control systems established in each local government.
Using drone delivery allows for delivery of products during vulnerable times in logistics even after ship operations have ceased. This is expected to significantly reduce product delivery times from approximately 7 days to 1 day. In addition, it is expected to greatly enhance customer convenience by reducing the inconvenience of island residents having to visit stores to purchase products.
The drone delivery service was piloted in Jeju Island in June and will be fully operational starting July 19th. Going forward, the company plans to expand its delivery items to include Galaxy mobile products such as smartphones, tablets, Buds, and Watches weighing less than 10kg.
In the Jeju region, delivery will be carried out from drone centers in Sangmo-ri and Geumneung to three locations: Gapado, Marado, and Biyangdo. In the Yeosu region, it will be gradually expanded to over 10 areas including Hwahwado, Jedo, and Songdo, and in the Tongyeong region, to areas including Bisando, Jwado, and Manjido.

Samsung Electronics said that this drone delivery service is a new attempt to provide island residents with a faster and more convenient Galaxy experience. The company added that as a leading company in the AI era, it will continuously develop new technologies and services to enhance customer convenience and rights.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics has been operating various delivery services to enhance customer convenience, such as the ‘Time-Tailored Installation Service’ launched last year, which allows customers to directly designate delivery times in two-hour intervals from 9 AM to 7 PM when purchasing large home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines through Samsung.com.
