hi,
just wondering if anyone knows of any websites for selling cosmetics that will deliver reasonably priced to Korea.

thanks in advance

Ebay. I ordered some Sisley Costmetics for my friend in Korea. They came from Hong Kong, but the seller was legit (i.e. they had an excellent rating of 99.99%).

Each face cream cost about 150,000W. No problems with customs, as the products were delivered seperately, and to her address in Korea.

Some sellers on Ebay dislike sending products to a shipping address different than the billing address, but most I've come across are willing to send goods under these circumstances.

If Ebay doesn't work for you, then get a Korean to help you shop on Gmarket and Auction. They carry foreign cosmetics, but be prepared to spend an arm and a leg.

What exactly are you looking for? The department stores have a great selection of big names (lancome, clinique, etc.). Mary Kay is available if you do a bit of web searching (there's an English hotline you can call if you want a distributor). Same with NuColor (NuSkin).

P.S. Strawberrynet is supposedly cheaper than duty free. You also avoid paying customs tax because they individually wrap all your items and mark the box as "gift," then send it in a plain box.

thanks for all the replies.

it's more for a korean friend of mine, part of the reason is she wants a wider choice, but also because it's all more expensive here.
With the strong exchange rate with the dollar, it might work out cheaper to get stuff delivered, even with shipping charges, especially if customs don't add any charges on.
