While demand for delivery has skyrocketed due to the COVID-19 crisis, a delivery driver certified a week’s profit and is a hot topic.

On the 19th, on various online communities, a photo of an article presumed to be working for Baemin Riders was uploaded.

According to the post, this article delivered a total of 205 cases from the 20th to the 26th. The delivery distance was 303.9 km, and the total delivery fee was about 1.43 million won, but the final payment was about 1.4 million won.

Analyzing this, the article delivered an average of about 29 cases per day. Each case moved an average of 1.4 km, and the profit per case is calculated to be about 6,800 won.

Although it seems like a short distance compared to the number of cases, delivery apps usually show a straight distance from the pick-up (restaurant) to the delivery (guest’s house) rather than the actual distance. Therefore, it is likely that this article covered a much longer distance than 303.9 km.

Netizens who saw this commented, “It’s the price of my life”, “I’m thinking of doing delivery when I have time too”, “It’s good to make money, but obey the traffic laws”, “Considering the risk allowance, it’s worth that much”, “Actually the delivery driver If you try, it’s difficult and difficult, so you won’t earn much.”

On the other hand, there has been talk of a rise in the demand for delivery and the rise of the ransom of the driver, opening the era of a billion-dollar salary. However, there is also a forecast that it will be difficult to earn a lot of income as customers are expected to flock to the store rather than delivery as the With Corona transition becomes visible.
