The second bill is composed of the local shipping fee, international shipping fee, and other charges, if any.

  • The local shipping charge is the fee to deliver your order to our processing center in Korea.
  • Most express shipping companies’ fees are based on the greater of the actual or dimensional weight. The dimensional weight is the actual space that your parcel occupies on the aircraft, and is computed as length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / divisor; the divisor varies depending upon the shipping method and the destination country. EMS’s fee is based on actual weight only.

Before we send you the first bill for product cost and service fee, our team will first confirm with the seller if items are available. Sometimes, stock status on a seller’s page is not accurate.

However, due to time differences between confirming stock availability to the receipt of your payment, the item may no longer be available, especially when your order includes fast moving items. Our customer service will inform you of the matter and will seek your advice whether we refund you for your payment or use the amount as credit for future purchases.

Yes, as long as your order is not yet processed by our purchaser. We will refund your payment in full amount to your account. If items in your order were already purchased, you will be charged for the service fee and return shipping fee (provided the seller accepts returns); the remaining balance will be refunded to you.

If you have funds left in your account, you can either retain the amount for future transactions or request a refund.

Refund via Paypal Service
PayPal charges us 4.9% + 0.30 USD per payment, even if the transaction is a refund. If you request a refund, the 4.9% + 0.30 USD fixed fee is deducted from your remaining balance.

You can benefit from discounted rates using our partner shipping companies. But if you have preference for another shipping company not on our list, please contact our customer service to make a special arrangement in shipping your order.
