I just placed my third order and I still cannot recommend Beauty Box Korea enough. I read the low reviews and it sounds like people don’t understand how a korean shopping service works, which is why they complain about slow dispatch times. So I want to use this review to explain how those work and then review how Beauty Box Korea is in those terms.1. A Korean shopping service buys the products they send you from other stores for the actual product price and then adds a small service fee per product.- Beauty Box Korea charges very low service fees for their products compared to other shopping services that add $1 per product. Sometimes the goods on BBK are actually cheaper than the actual product price on the retailer’s website!2. Shopping services don’t usually have their own stock because every order is so customized. That’s how they’re able to get you a variety of rare goods that sites like YesStyle can’t (YesStyle has its own stock so has limited options)- BBK seems to be half half with having some of its own stock and needing to custom order others. I have experience receiving my items within a week (which means they must have had their own stock) before. But expect to receive your items in more like 2 weeks, since it takes 1 week for them to order the items for you. Which makes sense to me because it’s a custom order.3. You can request anything you can find in an online Korean store for shopping services to send to you!- BBK has a custom order request in their forum. I requested two items from my favorite niche kbeauty store that no other English store had. Within 2 days of my request, BBK had added the products to their site just for me so I could order them!4. Shopping services are the only way for foreigners to order Korean goods that aren’t commonly sold overseas or in YesStyle, since is foreigners don’t have Korean banks or credit cards and the actual Korean stores don’t take overseas cards or PayPal. Shopping services do though. They will also communicate with the Korean retailer on our behalf so we don’t have to worry about the language barrier.- I actually tried to order 13 makeup items myself from my favorite niche Korean store since they said they would ship overseas, but the store wouldn’t take my credit card (only takes Korean cards) and it was such a pain figuring out the checkout form using google translate. The store even told me to use a shopping service when I emailed for help. Which made me realize why I use BBK and not try to do it myself.Based on all this, I really love BBK. I wanted to make sure others here had the right expectations for how shopping services work since a 1 week time to wait before your goods are dispatched sounds very reasonable to me given each order is custom ordered for just you and you don’t have to try to figure it out yourself using google translate and getting a Korean bank card.
