If the item price is low, I won't use direct shipping plan to S.Korea because of shipping fee. Instead I'll use a shipping agency in US with my other parcels to low average shipping costs.
Conversely, if the item price is $199.99, I'll use direct shipping service naturally. (willing to pay up to $25 for 5lbs package)
In my case, I(most korean shopper) don't ship only the product. We buy some products until $200 and ship together. It cost chipper than saperated package.
If they use freight forwarding services
It cost 10 to 20 bucks upon weight and volume for each shipment
@pruvatebot That actually doesn't sound bad at all.
@pruvatebot Does the service bundle multiple boxes into a single shipment, or is it $10-20 per box?
Also, the reason they are asking for sub $200 prices is to avoid taxes/customs fees. So they really are just paying the forwarding costs.
@Thumperchick Right, I forgot the $200 line was no-fee, for some reason thought it was a lowered-fee. My derp.
It's hard to say.

Are the Korean shoppers why California seems to love buying from Meh?
@tgmeow Actually the Korean shopper doesn't love shipping to California. Because of sales taxes. Most korean shopper love deleware. There are no tax.

If I don't include the heavy product, the prise would be around $10~30.
