Global Shopaholics is a US package forwarding service for shoppers in South Korea. You get a free, tax-free US address for South Korea and shop US stores as if you lived there, while we forward your purchases internationally. Every parcel is checked in and photographed, and you can combine several orders into one box to lower the cost before we ship to Seoul, Busan, Incheon and the rest of South Korea.

South Korea charges 10% VAT plus customs duty on imports. Personal-use goods within the list-clearance allowance (US$150, or US$200 for goods shipped from the USA under the KORUS agreement) are normally cleared without duty or VAT. Duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in South Korea can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Delivery to South Korea takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. Standard processing takes 4–5 working days once you request shipment. For shipping to Korea, Global Shopaholics sends your box from its Delaware warehouse with tracking. We deliver to Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju and Ulsan.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping calculator for South Korea or compare our subscription plans.
From Seoul to Incheon, our customers buy vitamins and supplements, US beauty brands, kids' clothing and outlet fashion, usually from Amazon, Target, Ulta Beauty, Nike, Coach and Carter's. Where a store won't ship to Korea, your US address fills the gap. If a store won't accept your card, our Assisted Purchase team can buy it for you. See our guide to shopping Amazon from South Korea.
