From my reading of the international shipping terms, it appears that only


books*
DVDs
music
VHS videos

can be shipped outside the US to most addresses. Shoes can be shipped to a number of countries, SoKo not being one of them.

I received my new pair of levis from amazon yesterday, no problem. Took 8 working days. I was expecting a month.

Were they taxed in any way?

didn't appear to be...unless that was included in the shipping price. about $55 australian for the jeans and another $55 for the shipping. Sounds pricey, but then again, a good pair of levis costs about $100 australian back home anyway.

I don't mind paying extra for levis as they are the only jeans that seem to fit me... although the quality seems to have dropped a bit...

So you can get clothes through fucking Amazon! It's bullModedit then?

$100? Unless they were something different, you would pay a similar price in Sinyongsan Levis shop. Maybe save about e man won. I dont know if I would use it in this case.

I'll check out these other sites. Victorias secret if I'm feeling sexy. Wink

Careful ordering stuff online to be delivered by mail to Korea. Korean customs loves taxing and holding parcels. I know I few people who've had to pay to get their stuff released (and it's not cheap).
