Hello! Is there a way to store the luggage over night? I’m going to travel with a big one and a small one and will go to Busan for a night (and two days), but just want to take my small one with me. After my trip I will come back to Seoul and stay there for a few more day, so I thought about leaving my big suitcase in Seoul but don’t know if that’s possible.
Thank you for your help. Have a nice day
Hi Sabrina,
Yes, you can store your luggage for 5 days if you use the Seoul subway Happy Box service.

Is there any service to ship my luggage from seoul to busan?
Hi Eta,
You can use the Express bus delivery service but somebody should receive the luggage when it’s delivered.
Several companies provide end-to-end delivery service using the express bus, KTX, or airplanes but you may need some help from your Korean friend.
Because they only support Korean. If you search ‘고속버스 탁송’ on Naver, you will see several delivery companies use the express bus delivery service.
Hope you find a good way to convey your luggage.
