Review: Koreadepart Haul
23:44Today I am here to share another online shopping experience which is from Koreadepart. I know I have been purchasing a lot of K-beauty products lately from various site and my purse has shrink so much because I have spend quite some money on it. But still I cant resist to discover more online shopping site and get more K-beauty products.
Without any blabbering, let's get started.
Below is the timeline starting from ordering to receiving the parcel:
Order placed: 8th November
Confirmed payment made: 9th November
Parcel shipped from Korea: 11th November
Parcel received in Malaysia: 20th November
So eventually the whole process has taken 12 days from ordering to receiving the parcel. I would say that the days it took to receive is quite reasonable considered I am using registered airmail. Unlike the previous haul from testerkorea that took about 22 days to receive (click here to read my testerkorea haul), I would say purchasing from Koreadepart is actually quite efficient.
About the website, it is fairly easy to navigate. The website itself has a list of top selling item which you can refer to if you are out of thought that what should you get. Other than the overall top selling item list, the website also separate down top selling list for each categories. The website has a lot of on-going sales from time to time and the currency shown is in USD.
Koreadepart also have a rewarding system which once you create an account, you are able to earn points from your attendance. Also purchasing products and writing review on the products you purchase will earn you points as well. Then the points can be converted into credit to purchase products. For more information about the points system, please refer here. Of course if you dont bother about accumulating points for future usage, you can still made purchase without signing up as a member.
When the parcel reached, it is a bit crumpled.
Open up the parcel, there is a lot of bubble wrap that secure and protect the products.
After removing the upper layer of bubble wrap, the products are arrange in a neat manner. There are also a packet of samples and a small box of cotton pad.
Now, lets take a lot of the products that I purchased from Koreadepart:

Conclusion

2. Webpage easy to access and navigate
3. Provide fixed shipping fee for certain area regardless the weight
4. Rewards in points that can be accumulated
5. Fast shipping for registered airmail

2. Does not declare lesser amount nor stated as gift to avoid duty taxes
Rating: 3.8/5
Repurchase? Maybe. But definitely not going after products which is in great sales. Chosungah Tinted Ampoule that I purchased has 80% off from original price but ended up the manufacture date was in year 2013 and Koreadepart didnt state the manufacture date nor expiry date.
