Shipping Updates

     Worldwide, some shipping restrictions have been put in place by certain countries. Below is a partial list of the countries restricting shipments from Korea (although the situation in well under control, and was contained early in Korea). We do not have information for all countries as the situation is constantly changing but will update the list below as information becomes available.

     At checkout, please choose the appropriate shipping method from the chart below that is currently allowed by your country.

* Be advised that worldwide, shipping times are currently slower due to the coronavirus situation.

     Generally, surface is slightly less expensive than airmail and express is usually about $20 more expensive than airmail.

     Mostly, EMS(Express Shipping) is the new base shipping method, although due to Covid express shipping times are no longer as fast as in the past.

     If you have previously placed an order that can no longer be shipped by Regular Airmail and need to upgrade to Express, there is an additional shipping charge of $20. Below is a link to add the charge to a previously placed order.
