Review: KTOWN4U

August 01, 2020




Hi lazies! It’s been years since I pre-ordered an album on a Korean site. Today I’m gonna do a review with Ktown4u since it’s my first time to order here. Okay, let’s start!

I created an account beforehand on Ktown4u last July 2. And on the same day I pre-ordered an album which is ‘Monster’ of Red Velvet - Irene & Seulgi. 


I received an email for confirmation of my sign up on the site.



I also received an email about my order and another email for the payment.




July 7 was the release of the first mini album of Irene & Seulgi. There are 2 versions (at that time) the top note and the middle note. But I opted to pre-order only the top version since I like black. The price of the album was normally $16.64 on normal Ktown4u site but I got a chance to pre-ordered mine on 40% discount given by the reveluvunion on Ktown4u which priced only for $11.80. 

Days passed but my album was still on preparing item but for the poster, it was ready to ship. 



So I decided to chat the CS support of Ktown4u on why my pre-ordered album was still preparing even though it was passed the day of release. 

It was July 9 when I messaged them and this was the reply that I got.


So I didn’t bother to check to status for a week I think? Hahahaha! It was July 18 when I visit the site again to check the status of my order. I was surprised when I saw the status of my order changed to ready to ship.



I waited for days again since it was weekend so I checked the site again on July 21 and I’m so happy that the status was already changed from ‘ready to ship’ to ‘shipped out’. Actually I also received an email about it together with the tracking details.



July 22 the package arrived in PH based on the tracking site they provided. UPS was so fast indeed but since it was a fast shipment the price will be higher than the others.






So here are the photos I took by the time I got my package:






Here's the timeline of my order:
Order placed: July 2, 2020
Confirmed payment made: July 2, 2020
Parcel shipped from Korea: July 21, 2020 (since there is a delay about the stock of the albums in ktown4u because of SM ㅠㅠ )
Parcel arrived in Philippines (UPS office Pampanga): July 22, 2020
Delivered to our house: July 23, 2020
Wow! Fastest delivery that I encountered other than EMS. Since EMS was still a hassle for me since I always get my package from post office and pay for 112php but for UPS, they deliver it right to our doorstep with no other fees. Wow! 5 stars for that! 

*Hope this can help you to decide ordering to an online korean shop. And also please visit my review on Gmarket here: https://thelazyorlov.blogspot.com/2018/03/review-gmarket-minishop-synnara.html?m=1
