I bought some at my local place (30 pairs i.e. a months supply) and was charged 70,000, which is just a bit more expensive than what I used to pay back home. I was also charged 70,000 for a months supply at Costco when I thought they'd be cheaper.

Is this the going rate or does anyone know of anywhere cheaper?

There are a few online stores you can buy 90 packs of Focus dailies for less than $40. To avoid paying customs charges, ask them to put a low price on the box.

http://www.contactsland.com/ has done this in the past for my mother.

You can also try www.lens.com.

I think even with the charges, it'd probably work out cheaper.

Also, if you know of anyone going to Thailand, they're about the same price there (maybe a little more expensive). In over 2 years here, I've never bought lenses from a Korean store.

Do they only sell dailies here? Two week disposable or month long disposables seem more than adequate. Why not try them?

^ I used to use the monthly ones years ago, but found that they get really grubby and irritable after a few weeks. What with the price of disposable ones coming down, I'd rather pay a bit extra and throw them away at then end of the day rather than mess about with solutions etc.
