Before you submit

Request checklist

  • Product URL from the Korean store or marketplace
  • Exact option details: size, color, version, member, shade, or set type
  • Quantity and whether substitutions are allowed if the item sells out
  • Destination country and any deadline or gift timing you care about
  • Special notes such as preorder benefits, seller questions, or fragile items

Good example

What a fast request looks like

“Please buy this Weverse album. Version: Random 3 copies. Include preorder benefit if available. Quantity 3. Ship to United States. If sold out, please ask me before substituting.”

Avoid vague requests
“Buy this” without option, quantity, destination, or substitution instructions often requires extra messages before we can quote.

Payment stages

You do not pay everything upfront

SFK separates item purchase cost from final international shipping because shipping can only be confirmed after Korea arrival and packing.

01

Free quote

Paste the product link and options. We check availability, restrictions, domestic delivery, and whether SFK can buy it.

02

1st payment: item cost

After you approve the quote, you pay item cost, local delivery, service fee, and selected handling options so we can purchase in Korea.

03

Korea arrival & check

Your item arrives at our Korea-side operation. We check the order, prepare eligible combined packing, and measure the outbound parcel.

04

2nd payment: international shipping

Final shipping is charged after actual packed weight and dimensions are known. We dispatch after shipping payment.

If something changes

  • If an item sells out before purchase, we ask before substituting unless your request already allowed a backup option.
  • If a seller changes price or shipping, we update the quote before payment whenever it affects your cost.
  • If an item is restricted for international shipping, we explain the issue and suggest available alternatives when possible.
  • If multiple eligible purchase orders arrive, combined packing may reduce outbound parcels, but final shipping is still based on packed weight and dimensions.
