Global store
Simplest when the store's international site has the exact item and ships to you. Catalogs and promotions often differ from the Korean site.
Ordering yourself
Possible when you can pass Korean checkout, payment and phone verification and arrange delivery inside Korea.
Proxy buying
We place the Korean order for you, receive it, review restrictions, consolidate eligible orders and ship internationally.

Frequently asked questions
Why can't I just order on the Korean site myself?
Many Korean stores require a Korean card, phone verification, Korean-language checkout and a delivery destination inside Korea. A proxy buying service places the order for you, receives it in Korea and arranges international shipping.
When is a Korean store's global site the better choice?
If the global site carries the exact item, ships to your country and the total price is acceptable, buying directly is usually simplest. Proxy buying helps when the item, promotion or set is only on the Korean domestic site, or when checkout needs a Korean card or phone number.
How do Ships From Korea fees work?
You first pay the item price, Korean domestic delivery and the service fees to start the purchase attempt. International shipping is paid separately after the parcel is packed, weighed and measured. See the pricing page for current rates.
What happens if the Korean seller cannot complete the order?
Payment starts a purchase attempt and seller stock is not guaranteed. If the purchase cannot be completed, the refund policy applies.
