 |
|
So I notice that many, many US stores with online versions don't offer shipping outside North America. This is actually not something I really expected, and while it is frustrating, it is not the end of the world.
However, there are some things that are difficult to find here in the middle of nowhere where I live (the nearest E-Mart is slightly over an hour away), and it would be far easier to just order them online. I'm looking for online stores that sell clothing, housewares, whatever. Any suggestions of any sort are welcome. Suggestions of places with housewares are particularly welcome.
I would love to find some Korean online stores that have an English-available website, so I don't have to pay astronomical shipping, but either that or US stores that will ship to Korea are readily welcomed. |

| Why not have it mailed to your parents, and then they mail it to you? |

Because shipping from the US costs an absolute fortune. |

Expect to pay that anyways.
On top of that, if you're getting it shipped from a merchadiser, you're going to have to pay import tariffs . . . out the ass. |

Shipping from stores is generally cheaper, I've found. Whereas international shipping from somewhere like Amazon or LL Bean is around $20-30, shipping from my parents is $40 or over. When you add in the shipping to get it to them in the first place, it's generally around $60 in shipping. So no, it's not the same. |
