I've seen it at the Foreign Food mart on the hill.

Kirkland Signature is Costco's store brand.

That Ezshopkorea sure looks convenient but expensive as heck!

And they also don't sell the Kirkland Signature Coffee that I buy (the one I think Op is referring to). I think it's 16,000, a big brown tin.

Would be amazing if Costco allowed you to shop online, then would box up your order and deliver it for a reasonable fee.

You can also find it on gmarket and the mark-up/delivery fees are not nearly as bad as EZShop.

acost is another option. They have pretty fair prices (as well as a good selection of coffee).

www.CostLove.com is another delivery option for Costco. The prices are the same as in-store and they add 900 won per item for delivery.

Your 1.36kg / 48oz of Kirkland Ground Colombian Coffee will cost you 19,890 won delivered to your door.

The only caveat is that the site is in Korean which makes ordering a little more difficult.

I've made up a site about how to get foreign food in Korea.

Try EZ Shop Korea, or the Nice Deli for the coffee.

For my taste some of the best coffee I've ever had is stuff I've roasted myself at home(green coffee beans) in my toaster oven, yes a little more hassle but when you do it right fresh roasted coffee has flavours that will blow you away!

just so u know, this coffee is already 50% more expensive at the Korean Costco in comparison to the price at the USA Costco. Add to that another markup by the Itaewon re-seller, and you're paying way too much for the coffee. Up to you, I just wanted to point out...

[sojusucks]

If you're going to drink Kirkland coffee all of the time a Costco membership seems reasonable, especially if you split it with someone else and shop together.

There's so much that is cheaper at Costco. For example, I made some hash browns, from Costco, for a few Korean teachers and now they all want to go to Costco to see what else is there.
