You guys, you're trending in Korean twitter haha

eunsoo thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Jul 25th 2014 at 10:45am ET

Apparently, your cute Korean hello message in the front page of your website is captured by so many Koreans and they're RT-ing :D
The upsurge of Korean consumers has to do with the recent increase in Korean people who directly purchase from foreign website rather than relying on foreign forwarder (thanks to a recent change in Korean customs). So, definitely start marketing for Koreans from now on, they looooove these products!

Experiments in e-commerce: how many people from a country we don't ship to can we get to buy a product we told them in a different language not to buy?

It's time to seize this opportunity and get aggressive. Front page video of Irk in a traditional hanbok outfit needed.

- Dude, that could fill a book (and has, I'm sure). For one thing multigenerational households are less common than even a few decades ago.

- I meant customs fees. Found out Korean government removed the import duty for the items imported individually from the overseas countries.

@somf69 From our FAQ: We don't, but other services will forward it on for a fee. We’re not at all connected with them, so use whichever one you prefer.
