New shipping policy, cheaper prices! (You pay for shipping now, but it isn't so bad)
Shipping:
My order date: 14 Sept 2017
Date shipped out:
- according to email: 19 Sept 2017
- according to tracking provided by Beautynetkorea: 20 Sept 2017
- according to USPS tracking: 20 Sept 2017
Date received: pending (it has arrived to the US as of 24 Sept 2017), mostly likely arrive 27 Sept 2017
You may be thinking: wow, they're lying. They said they shipped it when it really didn't actually ship until 1 day later.
False! According to experience,
- not all post offices will ship things the day of
- the time you give the box to them can also determine if shipment will take a day longer
- Online companies buy shipping online
- they either hand the package over to the post office the next day
- they have it picked up (also on the next day).
A 5-day processing time is not bad at all; it decreases the chances of them canceling an item on you.
I did not really take note, but my Beautynetkorea packages usually take around 2-3 weeks to arrive. This seems to still hold true (I paid for the cheapest, available shipping cost).
Here is my order. I had to add everything in a shopping cart to see the "sale" prices. I also added the full sized items to Roseroseshop to compare shipping and prices.

INNISFREE The Green Tea Seed Oil 10pcs [Sample](Weight : 21g) SAMPLE- Beautynetkorea: 1.55
- Beautynetkorea: 1.09
Total:
38.57 + shipping 16.34 = 54.91
My "estimated" total:
= 54.38
Giving $3 dollars to each "large" product and $1 for each small product (not including samples) for shipping ends up making the Mizon All In One Snail Cream (120ml) only around $13 dollars. Turns out Peach and Lily is cheaper if you buy $50 or more on their site, but chances of getting sales on all of these products is low.

Based on this purchase, Beautynetkorea is the cheapest korean beauty product website as of right now. I have not explored that many sites, but I've looked at: Jolse, Yesstyle, TesterKorea, and KoreaDepart while shopping and found that Mizon products on Beautynetkorea is definitely the cheapest. Roseroseshop, after researching, is also super cheap, so I will check that one out during my next korean beauty purchase.
I've been browsing and shopping Beautynetkorea for a while now, so I realize Beautynetkorea must have some sort of relationship with Mizon to offer such good prices (they also did the 1+1 and combo deals), even before the new shipping policy.
Overall:
The shipping prices on Beautynetkorea may not be the cheapest, but their product prices make up for that completely.
Product costs: ♥♥♥♥♥ / 5
Shipping cost: ♥♥♥ / 5
I will still keep buying from Beautynetkorea. To add, their customer service is quite good with replying emails in a timely, reasonable manner.
NONE of the links are affiliated. I am NOT sponsored. I wish. I can't wait to receive the products though!
Hi. Which shipping method did you choose? Cuz when I checked, Korean post is the cheapest shipping option and it doesn’t provide tracking.
ReplyDeleteHello! I am sorry for such a late reply! I always use the shipping method the site automatically chooses for me, which seems to always be Korean Post. It looks like last year (2018), all of my orders came with a tracking number but my orders from this year (2019) do not. So they may have changed their tracking, but I never had an issue with my order or a missing package before.
DeleteHi! Is that the korean post (k-packet) or korean post(EMS)? Thank you!
