What is a package forwarding service?

Many Korean shops won't ship abroad or won't accept foreign cards, so K·PARCEL gives you your own Korean address. You shop at Korean stores using that address, your orders arrive at our Seoul warehouse, and we combine everything into one box and ship it to you worldwide.

How can I buy from Korean shops that reject foreign cards?

Use our proxy-buying (대신구매) service. Send us the product link and we buy it for you — handling Korean-only checkouts, Korean-card and Korean-phone requirements — then inspect, consolidate and ship it to you.

Can you guarantee a specific photocard?

No. Photocards are randomly inserted in albums, so no shop — including us — can guarantee a specific member’s card. Fans often buy multiple copies to chase a favorite, and some trade duplicates.

Can you ship KPOP lightsticks (with batteries) internationally?

Sometimes, with limits. Official lightsticks contain a lithium battery, and air-shipping rules vary by country and carrier. The battery must stay installed, and some methods cannot carry them, so we show the available shipping options at checkout.

Will I have to pay customs duty?

Possibly. When your package arrives, customs may apply duty or VAT if the value is above your country's de-minimis (tax-free) threshold. We show a customs note before you pay. Final taxes are set by your country's customs, not by us.

Why combine (consolidate) packages?

International shipping is priced by weight and the first kilogram costs the most. Combining several items into one box is much cheaper per item, and you can keep buying over a few weeks and ship it all at once.
