Hi,

Does anyone know either of a shop in Korea that sells these clothing brands (billabong, quiksilver, ripcurl, o'neill etc.) or a place online that has reasonable delivery to Korea. A UK site would be great, but can go American if it's cheaper and they take UK Visa cards.

Thanks very much

I think there's a Quiksilver, and whatever the girls' offshoot brand is (Roxy maybe?) store in Myeongdong.

Great, thanks for that, that's my two fav brands sorted...i asked about this a couple of years ago and nobody knew anything annd thought it might be worth a crack again.

So generally are the prices massively inflated or the same as the UK store e.g. �20 for a t-shirt so 35,000 - 45,000 won.

They are more than that here. Same as all the American brands that have their own stores here. Levi, Converse, Adidas, Nike, Quicksilver, Gap, billabong etc all extremely overpriced here.

Try on in store, order online.

Trouble is apart from that link above, I don't know any online order places with a decent range that will ship to Korea.

Or, do you mean order online from Billabong on their Korean website?

All that stuff, minus shoes, I order from big US department stores when they have a sale. They all ship international cheaply, you just have to watch out about customs tax if you order too much at a time. OR, even cheaper is to send it to a friend in the US or Canada and have them repackage and post.
