This may seem like a stupid question, but if I order something from Amazon, should I put the address in Korean or is English okay?

Hi, we've ordered off Amazon before and just put the school address in English and everythings aways arrived fine!

Not a stupid question. I normally put both if ordering from an international site.

If you choose to just use English, it will almost certainly get through. The ability to read English is extremely common these days. Make sure you use the most common transliteration.

Good luck!

If you are looking for a site to order English books from in Korea, check out "what the book".

Stupid comment, but I've been told that amazon doesn't ship to Korea; I assume this is false?

Amazon does ship to Korea.

If I ordered 5 paperback books (average weight, 20 dollars each) from Amazon.com, how long would it take and what would it cost for shipping those 5 books? Also, any duties/taxes, if any. Thanks.

I ordered from Amazon, put the address in Korean, never saw my stuff. Ordered again, still in Korean, got my stuff very quickly. The difference- I upgraded shipping. DON'T do standard shipping. You will never ever see your stuff.

A guy from Korea DHL actually called me, the 2nd time, when the packages arrived in Korea to confirm the address. Good luck.
