Does Amazon.com post to Korea and are the shipping and handling rates reasonable?

Thanks in advance

Yes, Amazon sends books to Korea.

Since your definition and my definition of 'reasonable' may be different, I suggest you select some books, start the order process...and check the cost they quote you before you finalize your order. If the price is too high, simply delete your order.

Make friends with a GI serving duty here, have them send the book(s) to her address and you can get very cheap postal rates (as if the person was living in America).

Otherwise, throw out a few titles you're interested in and maybe somebody has a copy of it second-hand.

Look on the shipping page at Amazon.com and it'll give you a run-down on the exact shipping costs for books.

If you are ordering a lot of books, you'll probably find that you can get the lot cheaper from www.whatthebook.com (higher cover price, but free shipping if you buy more than one book--with Amazon you'll pay a per shipmment fee as well as a fee per book).

Amazon is the best source of DVD's though and their shipping rates are much more reasonable for electronic media than for books. Of course, everything's region 1, so you have to have an American or multi-region player.

Most of the other products on Amazon can't be shipped to Korea.
