Shipping & Delivery
How long does delivery take to Southeast Asia?+
EMS delivery from Korea takes 5-10 business days for Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. Processing time (purchasing + inspection) is typically 1-3 business days before shipping.
How can I track my package?+
You'll receive an EMS tracking number via email once your order ships. You can track it on Korea Post, your local postal service website, or our Track Order page.
How much does shipping cost?+
Shipping starts from approximately $15-20 USD for packages under 0.5kg. Exact costs depend on weight and destination. We calculate shipping in your quote before payment.
Can I combine multiple items in one shipment?+
Yes! We consolidate all your items into one package at our Korea warehouse. This saves significantly on shipping costs compared to separate shipments.
Customs & Import Duties
Will I have to pay customs duties?+
It depends on your order value. Philippines: under β±10,000 is generally duty-free. Vietnam: under β«1,000,000 is generally duty-free. Thailand: under ΰΈΏ1,500 is generally duty-free. Most personal orders for cosmetics, albums, and stationery fall under these thresholds.
What if my package is held at customs?+
Occasionally packages may be inspected. You may need to provide an invoice (we include one) and pay any assessed duties. Contact us and we'll help you through the process.
How do you declare package values?+
We always declare the accurate product value on customs forms. We never under-declare, as this can lead to package seizure and legal issues.
What items cannot be shipped?+
We cannot ship: standalone lithium batteries, flammable liquids/aerosols, perishable food requiring refrigeration, prescription medication, and items restricted by your country's customs.
Payment
What payment methods are available?+
We accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and other major payment methods via PayPal for all countries.
Can I pay in my local currency?+
Yes! We show prices and accept payment in PHP (Philippines), VND (Vietnam), and THB (Thailand). Exchange rates are applied at the time of payment.
How long do refunds take?+
Approved refunds are processed within 5-10 business days to your original payment method. The time to appear in your account may vary by bank.
Returns & Refunds
What if I receive a defective or damaged item?+
Contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos. We'll arrange a return to Korea and provide a full refund including the service fee.
Can I return items if I change my mind?+
Unfortunately no. As a proxy-buying service, products are purchased from Korean stores on your behalf and shipped internationally. Change-of-mind returns are not possible.
What if you sent the wrong item?+
If we shipped the wrong item by mistake, we'll arrange a return and either send the correct item or provide a full refund. All costs are covered by us.
Ordering Process
How long does the entire process take?+
Typically 7-14 business days total: quote (within hours) + purchasing (1-2 days) + inspection (1 day) + EMS shipping (5-10 days). Pre-orders and out-of-stock items may take longer.
Can you buy from any Korean store?+
Yes! We can purchase from Coupang, Naver Shopping, Olive Young, Gmarket, YES24, Musinsa, and virtually any Korean online store. Just paste the product URL.
Can you handle K-pop album pre-orders?+
Absolutely! We can secure pre-order benefits (POBs) and store-exclusive versions. Place your pre-order early to guarantee first-press editions with all inclusions.
