Recently I’ve started doing a bit of sopping on g-market but mainly for cosmetics. Cosmetics in Korea is just so damn cheap. $1.29 for a foam cleanser? Really?
But of course there are a few cons to using g-market. There is no customer service in english period. Some stuff is listed in Korean even though there is a global english site but sometimes will still take a bit of figuring out yourself. The worst thing is that there is only 1 shipping option EMS (express) which can bit a bit pricing in the $30USD+ range (worth if it your order a lot like $100 worth of stuff). But it is very fast and safe with tracking. I also don’t like their estimated weight option that your prepaid and they refund you the difference if the weigh is less, because that money goes into your g-market account and you can’t combine it with your paypal payment in future purchases. You can only use that money if the amount is greater then what you are buying+shipping cost.

This is my 3rd purchase.
I bought items from baviphat, etude house & mizon. I’ve become quite a fan of mizon. Their packaging is nice and they have english info & ingredient list on all their products. I like the fact that most sellers include samples for you. Etude house is cheap! No samples really, they gave me a mug & socks? I want make up samples!. Both baviphat & mizon give good samples always.

Everything is nicely packaged in bubble wrap.

I’m definitely a hoarder. I buy more then I can use, but it’s nice to have it for when you want to use it and there are choices, and you always need backup!. If soemthing is really good, buy another, you can never tell when companies discontinue products.
