Korea Post suddenly suspended the standard small package service to a large amount of countries. We tried to update the shipping fees to match the actual shipping rate per standard air package instead, which is more expensive for especially the lighter packages. Hopefully the service will resume later, but this is unclear at this point. Luckily many major destinations like USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Brazil, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Netherlands and some other countries remain unaffected.

After Korea Post was dealing with a server fire, finally standard and EMS mail to the USA have now resumed!

As the strikes at Canada Post are over, standard mail and EMS to Canada are now available again.

A fire at Korea Post canceled out the previous update, with the new tariff systems lost they have to reinstall everything, only UPS available for now. Standard shipping to Canada is canceled as well due to postal strikes over there.

We started shipping to the USA again per standard services (Korea Post > USPS). No taxes need to be paid on the category ‘informational materials’ which includes cd’s, cassette tapes, video tapes, books, posters and other printed media. Merchandise/K-pop goods can be still somewhat ambiguous on what will get taxed and what won’t – for now the risk is for us, as taxes do get charged to us, not to you. The customs declaration fee is now included in the shipping fee, so your package will go through and you don’t need to pay for anything for when ordering music or movies.
