№ 01 — Payment model
What you pay first,
and what you pay later.
Your first payment is the part we can actually know — the items, the fees. The rest comes only after your parcel is real, measured, and sitting at our Seoul warehouse.
№ 01
Two payments. One honest reason.
Pay for what's real.
Field notes
What the two payments
actually mean.
What you pay first
The item price plus the KoreaBox fees needed to place your order in Korea — the amount required before we can buy it for you.
What you pay later
The final international shipping cost — confirmed only after your items arrive, are repacked, and the final parcel can be measured.
Why it's not a hidden fee
The later payment isn't a surprise charge. It's the real shipping cost, confirmed after the package becomes real.
— Next step —
Start with the amount you can know first.
See your first payment before you commit. Shipping comes later, only when the final package is measured.
Short answers before you order
Why can shipping change later?
International shipping depends on the final parcel size and weight. That can only be confirmed after your items arrive and are repacked in Korea.
What is included in the first payment?
The first payment includes the item price plus the KoreaBox service and payment or FX-related fees needed to place your order.
When do I see the final shipping cost?
You see the final shipping cost after your package reaches the warehouse and the outbound parcel is measured before shipment.
