How do I buy from Olive Young if I live outside Korea?
Updated
Olive Young's Korean website usually delivers only to Korean addresses and often asks for Korean phone verification or payment. If the product is on Olive Young Global and ships to your country, buying there directly is simplest. If it is only on the Korean site, send the product link to a proxy-buying service such as SeoulDrop: we check availability, quote the full item cost, buy it after you approve and pay, then ship it to you internationally.
Korean site or Olive Young Global?
Olive Young runs a Korean store and a separate global store. The global store ships abroad but usually carries a smaller range, and prices, sets and promotions can differ from the Korean listing.
Compare the exact product, size and set on both before you decide. A global price is not the same as the Korean price, so do not use one as a quote for the other.
Ordering a Korean-only listing through SeoulDrop
- Copy the product link from the Korean Olive Young site (keep the exact option you want).
- Send a purchase request with the link, quantity and option.
- Review the quote. It shows the item price, Korean delivery and the $4 service fee per product link. Quotes we send stay valid for 3 days (72 consecutive hours); check the displayed expiry for your quote.
- After you pay, we place the order. When it reaches our warehouse in Daejeon, we photograph it on arrival.
- Request international shipping. Shipping is charged by weight after the parcel is weighed.
Before you order beauty products
Some cosmetics travel as restricted items: perfume, aerosols and nail polish are flammable or pressurised, and liquids can have limits. Check the prohibited-items guide for your destination first.
Opened, hygiene and beauty items usually cannot be returned once purchased unless the store accepts the return, so confirm shade, size and volume before you approve the quote.
Common questions
Can I pay Olive Young Korea with a foreign card?
Often not. The Korean site commonly expects Korean payment methods or phone verification, which is why shoppers abroad use a proxy-buying service for Korean-only listings.
Can I combine Olive Young items with orders from other stores?
Yes. Items waiting in our warehouse can ship together. Combining up to 3 packages into one box is free; each additional package is $1.50.
