First time buying from them; I really wanted some sanrio themed makeup and skincare that just dropped last month. I tried proxy before but it is a hassle; I came across this site and it has a pretty good range. I just saw on their Instagram they have been adding other parts of the sanrio collabs with different Korean brands. I got some free samples too. I was prepared to wait some time for the delivery but it came in 3 weeks so I'm very happy. I recommend Bbk everything came well packaged. Thanks Bbk :)

I’ve been using BKK for perhaps 10 years now. Whenever I ask ‘can you do better on the price of I purchase 6 or 10?, they will attach a coupon with a huge discount (sometimes up to 25%) which more than covers the shipping. They are fast to respond to my queries when I message them, and depending on one of tbe 5 couriers you choose, some are quick, and others are less expensive but you have that choice to choose your delivery company. All in all, I cannot fault them. I’m confused why there are so many low reviews. Sorry but a one star because your delivery arrived in a week is a ridiculous review. Sorry. Keep going, KBB. You are doing an amazing job for your customers. I am one of the very grateful long time customers. Thank you so much. :)

The longer shipping times and higher shipping cost are to be expected with this company as they are not a retailer with a warehouse full of products, but a 3rd party shopping service. You order the products you want and the BBK staff goes out to the stores/orders online through Korean websites, packages your items, and sends them to you. This is also why you may be notified items are out of stock after you have ordered them. These used to be the norm for buying Korean beauty products before Korean companies started opening international websites. It is useful because you can get less famous/new products are not available internationally. The staff was prompt with notifying me of out of stock items and once the items were dispatched, they arrived within 10 days. Overall, I've had some slower shipping experiences orderring directly from Korean companies.

I decided to bite the bullet and try ordering from here as BeautyBoxKorea has a lot of rare kbeauty items that I couldn't find elsewhere. I was very pleasantly surprised! I ordered two Dasique tints from them for a fair price - granted, the site does not have a free shipping threshold so orders don't come out exactly cheap, but some deals can be affordable. The items were promptly sent out two days after I ordered via k-packet. Despite the shipping method being one of the usually slower ones, my order came only a week after shipping in perfect condition! Everything was packaged nicely and securely and BBK even included quite a few very nice beauty samples. I would definitely recommend Beauty Box Korea for anything you really want but can't find on Olive Young etc!

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.

I was unsure at first due to the reviews on here. But other than the shipping time it was a great experiance. The site has a huge variety of K-beauty products that I can't find elsewhere and they always have discounts on the products. You do have to pay for shipping no matter how much you spend, so keep that in mind when you put stuff in your basket and I recieve a tracking number. Shipping time was the only con for me, it took the parcel nearly 1 month to reach me, however, since there are many products I would not be able to get elsewhere, it's worth it to me. So far I have not needed to pay for customs, but it might be because I just got lucky.

Expected long wait based on reviews which I found on Internet. In fact, everything went very smoothly. It took me less than a week to receive what I ordered. The merchandise is of high quality, prices are very reasonable. Wishing good luck to Beautyboxkorea during these tough times and will be doing business with this Company again in the future.

This website is incredible and my absolute favourite. They have everything you can even imagine when it comes to Korean beauty and brands. The best thing about them is that they have a lot of limited edition items and special sets that you can only find in Korea! As well as a lot of special promotions and gifts. It’s literally a dream for an enthusiast like myself. Their prices are also very reasonable. The packages are well packed, they have a wide variety of shipping options that are not too expensive and their customer service is amaaaaazing and fast in responding! I’ve been ordering from them for YEARS now and I’ll keep ordering as they’re one of the best sites to shop for your KBeauty needs. Highly recommend!
