About the Company

Coupang

Sells goods online with its own overnight delivery

Coupang runs one of South Korea's largest online stores, selling groceries, electronics, household goods and fashion to consumers and small businesses.

Shoppers order through the Coupang app or website, and the company earns money from its own retail sales, commissions and fulfillment fees from outside sellers, and a paid membership. Coupang was founded in Seoul in 2010 and is headquartered in Seattle, with most of its operations and staff in South Korea.
