Korea Online Shops

[Stylicious]

I dont really like to buy korean/japanese apparels from online blogs. I'm ok with the waiting time but they are all made in china... the cutting, material and colour are not even close to the picture and they are so over price for around 22-29sgd, some even go up to 30+sgd and if you buy from a china wholesale 1pc only cost around 3.5-6 sgd.

So basically, if you buy 10pcs of apparels from blogshop which cost an avg of 25sgd, you could buy 35-40pcs on your own. If you buy 50pcs you can even get 40-60% discount off the EMS delivery fee and they arrive within 3-5 working days. Sometimes, I feel that blogshops are such a ripoff. I dont mind paying them 3-5sgd per pc of profit for their time and effort on organizing it but making nearly 18-20 per pc is too much considering they do not have any rents to pay, not even webhosting fee. Usually those with instocks are the highly over priced ones.

i get what you mean. I got pissed a couple of times after being cheated by sellers who claim their stuff are korean clothings, and when it arrived, the quality is so bad you can tell they are China imitations. Total ripoff.

But I've bought items from LJ user lovengold. Her korean items are really true to pics and authentic Korean brands. Quality is good too. Other than her, I don't really buy from others anymore. Tried and tested and most are disappointing.

Do you girls go korea online shops & shopped?

Which shops do you recommend?

I like those Korea accessories & wallets & i often seen them spree-ed on livejournal. Really tempted to get but I don't know where to get them myself, do you girls have any idea?

[nixx]

i think they are from gmarket. but i've never bought anything off gmarket before :p

[Tokyopink]

I think orderin direct from zipia would be the cheapest and fastest way rite??

Joined zipia spree and got my items within 2 weeks. The dresses i bought were of good quality, but pricey. I like it alot.

Hi,

Perhaps you want to looking the stuffs from fashion fiesta or watertonkorea (more complete, more variation brand and model of clothes/apparels). Will PM you for details, whether you want to know or see more about their stuffs and hope you'll find what are you looking for

Ok just a tip - when ordering from Gmarket, use credit card to pay. DON'T USE PAYPAL!!!!! I used Paypal to pay once, thinking how convenient it is. But Gmarket never received my payment, and I had to cancel my order and resend another one!
I believe this isn't happening only with me - have heard of many others facing this problem as well.

HI there

Do you need to fax/ email your credit card to Gmarket for verification?

[BerniceGoh]

Can try zippa from livejournal.

Gmart consolidates the items from various sellers and send to us in 1 shipment. Save on postage? http://global.gmarket.co.kr/challeng...pping_info.asp

not neccessary. if u go Korea, the tour guide will say DOtta! (or the shopping centers nearby which i cant rem now) etc is now full of made in China clothings too and thus slightly lower price. Quality doesnt last too. only those expensive ones are made in Korea. Even when u walk along their street, the watches thats like 20-30bucks can also be made in China. So there's always a chance of their products from Korea (true) but they are made in CHina.

Those i got were even worse than Taiwanese clothings. Really doubt they bothered to get it imported from Korea. Most order directly off China
