I have been using this app for a couple of years. At first I was skeptical and tested it out by sending cheapest gift i could find to my brother and sure enough it worked! All my family member live in Korea and this has been super convenient way to send my parents bday gifts and just random “i love you” gifts for my mom so that she will go out to coffee with her friends! I’ve mainly used the app for various department stores and coffee gift cards and they work so efficiently. The recipients get the gifts either via texts or kakao and able to use it right away! (Some ppl think it’s spam so remind them that it is okay to open 😅)I do wish that there were more options for different stores but hey.. the options are better now than a couple of years ago.. so I’m hopeful with more users, we will have more gifting options! I’ve been telling all my fellow 1st generation immigrant friends here who have families back in our home country. Oh, i have also used to send the gift to my best friend in Canada as well and it worked AMAAAAAZING. Thank you SodaGift. Makes my life easier.

App - Being able to send US and S.Korea is definitely an advantage since not many companies send food items as well as gift certificates after calculated currency. It offers a pretty wide variety of items so I would give it an overall good rating.Improvements - Just like how the US has Grubhub, Doordash, and Ubereats, Korea has Bae-min which is very frequently used for delivery for food items. Having a gift certificate for that company would definitely reduce having certificates for chicken or other food items that most people consume through delivery.

If you want to send mobile gifts to Korea, this app is a MUST. Since Kakao gift isn’t available anywhere else but Korea, ways of sending gifts to Korea are minimal. I’ve been in the US for almost a decade, and I can’t even count how much money I’ve spent on UPS and other parcel companies to send gifts to families/friends in Korea. I just wish there were more items for both Korea & US/Canada. (Especially deliverable items for North America)

I placed an order on August 2nd for an August 16th delivery of flowers in Korea (paying almost $100). FAQ states delivery will likely occur in the morning. It was still “being prepared” (same status for days by the way) even though i checked during the afternoon of the 16th in Korea and the only support you have is through chat where they take some time to get back to you. There is NO number you can call to get real time support. It eventually worked out but the feeling of not having a lot of info during the delivery process was stressful. Having more updates than just “being prepared” and “delivered” updates could help.
