There's an Oakley Store in the Hyundai Department Store, Mok-dong. |

Oakleys are ridiculously overpriced in Korea!
280,000 for the basic model!
You'd be better off ordering them online. |

| Ok, tried to buy some oakleys online, but have had my order rejected by 2 websites now, cos they apparently dont ship Oakleys internationally - and they only tell you this AFTER you've "paid" with your credit card!!! (Eventhough South Korea is on their dropdown list of countries that they ship to!) SO frustrating! So does anyone know of a website i could use that would ship to korea??Thanx again, |

A friend of mine just bought a pair from a store at the CO-EX Mall on the weekend. They cost him 190,000won. The store clerk told him they were on special sale for "foreigners"  |

I used to sell sunglasses and while Oakleys are virtually indestructuble (we had 2 pairs in the store, one had been run over by an SUV and the other had been shot at, both were damaged but still functional), the lenses are shit. They're polycarbonate and they scratch way too easily.
Also, Oakley's weigh too much and they're overpriced.
For your money, get a pair of Bole or one of the skater brands. |

| ...I got a pair of fake Oakleys for 10,000 W from a street vendor near the KFC in Itaewon. Super-cool. And the price was right. I call them F-oakleys. |

Probably because the shipping address has to be the same as your billing address. Change your billing address to your shipping address here and there shouldn't be a problem.

| Thanx, tried that, but they still said that they arent allowed to ship Oakleys out of the US. |
