Any ideas as to how I can import a quantity of books - I mean a few hundred for sale at a forthcoming conference? The distributors are in the US,UK and Australia and the postal costs are horrendous. I will not be making any money on the end sale (don't want to) but I would like to avoid the postal costs. Are there any book dealers that I could order through in Korea?
Any suggestions greatly welcomed/

Don't know if they'd be able to accommodate you, but you could try contacting What the Book? in Itaewon: http://www.whatthebook.com/.

Bookdepository.org has free shipping. Large orders, though, are shipped individually, so you'd be getting a hundred separate packages...

OP: Have you checked into "book rate" for a cheaper shipping option?

They ship free to Korea but they sell mostly used books.
