1.What is KoreaHaul?
KoreaHaul is a Korean proxy shopping and package forwarding service. We buy from Korean stores that don't ship overseas and forward packages worldwide.
We act solely as a purchasing agent, warehouse provider, and logistics intermediary. We are not the manufacturer, retailer, distributor, or seller of the products purchased through our services unless explicitly stated otherwise.
2.How does the service work?
- We either purchase the item on your behalf (Buy For Me) or receive a package you purchased yourself (Receive For Me).
- Once the item arrives, it is processed into Warehouse Storage, where you have a 5-Day Review Window and up to 45 days of free storage.
- When you're ready, submit a Ship For Me request and we'll dispatch your package internationally.
3.Who is responsible for the item at each stage?
- Seller
- Responsible until the package arrives at KoreaHaul.
- KoreaHaul
- Responsible while the package is in our warehouse and under our control.
- Carrier
- Responsible once the package has been shipped internationally.
- Customer
- Responsible for customs duties, taxes, and import requirements in the destination country.
4.Do I need to pay customs duties or taxes?
Import duties, taxes, and customs fees are determined by your country's customs authority and are the customer's responsibility unless a DDP shipping option is selected.
5.When does ownership of the item transfer to me?
For Buy For Me requests, ownership transfers to you once the item is purchased on your behalf. KoreaHaul acts solely as a purchasing agent, warehouse provider, and shipping intermediary.
6.How do I place a Buy For Me request?
- Submit the product URL, or request directly from our Bunjang, KH Picks, and Popular products listings.
- Select any options and quantity.
- Set your purchase rules for each product:
- Quantity: Partial Quantity Allowed, or Exact Quantity or Cancel
- Price: Allow Up To, or Requested Price or Less
- Domestic Shipping: Accept if Required, or Cancel if Required
- Pay the item cost, domestic shipping, and Buy For Me fee upfront.
Once payment is received, we will purchase the item on your behalf.
If your purchase rules are missing, unclear, or conflicting, we may contact you for clarification first, but the request may be cancelled and the Buy For Me fee still applies.
7.Does submitting a Buy For Me request reserve inventory?
No. Submitting a request does not reserve inventory. Items may sell out before we are able to complete the purchase.
8.How do I place a Receive For Me request?
- Use the provided warehouse address as your shipping address when ordering from the seller.
- Create a Receive For Me request in your dashboard.
Your package includes up to 45 days of free storage. As a launch promotion, complimentary unboxing photos and videos will also be provided upon arrival.
9.What happens when my item arrives?
We photograph and record the item upon arrival. Unboxing media is uploaded to your dashboard for review.
Unboxing media is provided as a record of receipt and does not constitute an inspection or authentication service.
10.How long do I have to report an issue?
You have a 5-Day Review Window from the date the unboxing media is provided in your dashboard. Any issues, including return requests, must be reported during this period.
11.How long can I store my items?
All packages include a 5-Day Review Window and a total of 45 days of free warehouse storage from the date of arrival.
12.Can I combine multiple items into one shipment?
Yes. You can store multiple items and consolidate them into a single shipment when you're ready.
13.How do I ship my items?
Submit a Ship For Me request, select the items you want shipped, and choose any available shipping options. We will then pack, weigh, and prepare your shipment.
14.When do I pay for international shipping?
International shipping is paid after your shipment has been packed and weighed. Shipping rates will be provided before payment is required.
15.How do I receive tracking information?
Tracking details are uploaded to your dashboard and sent by email once your package has been dispatched.
16.What if the seller ships the wrong item?
Report the issue within the 5-Day Review Window. We will provide the unboxing media and assist with communication and return arrangements where possible. This applies to Buy For Me requests only. For Receive For Me packages, you bought from the seller directly, so you'll need to raise it with them yourself.
17.What if my package arrives damaged?
Report the issue within the 5-Day Review Window. We will review the unboxing media and assist with the next steps where possible.
18.Can I request a return or exchange?
Yes. Return and exchange requests must be submitted within the 5-Day Review Window. Approval and eligibility are subject to the seller's policies. Secondhand marketplace items can't be returned, and returns aren't available once an item has been shipped internationally.
19.Do you repack shipments?
Yes. We may remove unnecessary outer packaging and consolidate items when appropriate to help reduce shipping costs and improve packing efficiency.
20.What happens after 45 days of storage?
Additional storage fees may apply. Please ensure your items are shipped before the free storage period expires.
21.Do you check authenticity of items?
No. We do not verify or authenticate items. We record and photograph the item on arrival and upload the media to your dashboard. Determining whether the item matches your order, and whether it is genuine, is up to you.
22.Which countries do you ship to?
We ship to most countries worldwide. Available carriers and shipping methods may vary depending on the destination.
