Ground is cheapest. Up to 20kg for 50k won. It can take 6-10 weeks for delivery.
Air parcel is next in line. 1kg = 20k won, 2kg = 27k, 3kg = 33k and 5kg = 45k. You can go up to 20kg = 135k won. Allow 10-20 days for delivery. This service is trackable and traceable on-line.
EMS is the most expensive. It is the postal version of FEDEX.
1kg = 26k won, 2kg=42k, 3kg=48k, 4kg=53k and 5kg=59k. You can ship up to 30kg = 201k won. Delivery USUALLY takes 4-7 days depending on Canada customs clearance).
In all cases you can use up to a size #5 box (can be purchased at the post office - ask for it).

You can usually get by with pigeon English, Konglish and waving your hands.
It is always easier with a Korean speaker. |
