Two further questions:
1) Can orders be placed with non-Korean cards? I don't have a Korean credit card and my Korean debit card requires me to go through several tedious hoops when using it on Korean websites. |
Yes, we've set up a US merchant account, so you will be able to pay with a US card.

2) Are credit/debit card details automatically stored on your company's servers? I noticed on the demo that after choosing an Amazon product to order the next box seems to have the card details already stored and ready to click confirm purchase? Is there an option to manually input all card details before placing an order? |
We will have the option to save credit card details for a one-click purchase experience on future orders. The card details are stored in our credit card processor's secure vault, so the unencrypted info never touches our servers (saves us the hassle of dealing with PCI compliance). You can also choose to not save your credit card details if you would rather manually input them for each order. |
Will you also accept Canadian Credit Cards and Paypal? Lots of canucks over here too.  |

Just a question. But, how is Korea getting away with this "significant" 18 to whatever percent import tax if we have an FTA thingy going on. Never mind, i think i just answered my own question....only for companies (which allows the "massive' add on charge companies insert here for the consumer) never mind. As long as Koreans put up with this fallacy/ego boost that foreign goods are "expensive"...it will continue |
at least they give an allowance. Canada has had a FTA much longer and you basically get nothing free from the US. the FTA doesn't mean free trade for the plebes. It's for businesses and only some of them. |
Yeah, you do. It depends on how long you are visiting the States. One day, one week, etc. Your duty free allowance goes up. But, in case you didn't know this, you take the tags off your clothing. How can customs prove otherwise. Some electronics can be suspicious, however. ;P |

We're not talking about going there. We're talking about ordering stuff through the mail. Canada had a duty free allowance before the FTA agreement. If you order anything from the states, even a T-shirt, you'll pay GST on it at customs before you can receive it.
Korea gives you 150-200k completely duty free through the mail. |

Pretty sure our merchant account can process payments from any credit card – US, Korean, Canadian, UK, etc. But I'm not 100% so I would have to double check that. Paypal we don't have any plans to integrate yet, unless there's a big demand for it. |
