Review: GMARKET (minishop: Synnara)
March 14, 2018
This is my very first review to an online shop which is Gmarket Global (Korean Site similar to eBay Korea i think). So please bear with me if I’m missing some details.
Let’s start.
08/04/17
I place my order on Synnara which is on Gmarket Global site (https://global.gmarket.co.kr/). I purchase BTS YOU NEVER WALK ALONE album.
It was my first time to order on Gmarket so i was worried if my order will get lost and not be shipped out to the right place (you know what it feels to order online, i somehow like ordering online but for this its a different feeling and i don’t know why tho)
I received an email the same day that my payment was successful.
08/08/17
The estimated weight for this package was 0.30 kg (₩8,120) but the actual weight was 0.75 kg (₩9,020) upon knowing that the weight of this is more than that of estimated weight, actually I don’t even pay for the remaining balance (i don’t know why) and later on,
I received an email that my order has been shipped out to the Philippines (so by reading the email it made me feel better)
Upon checking the status everyday actually I started it after the day it says that its been shipped out.
08/10/17
Morning of this day I checked the tracking status and it says there that it was unsuccessful delivery and it bothers me because I don’t know what to do about it.
I even tried to call the PhlPost about it but the lines are all busy. It really worries me so much because of the “unsuccesful” there.
Luckily, later that afternoon, I’m so happy because I received a text coming from the post office that my package was already there.
Trans: "Hi good afternoon, I'm from post office and you have a package here."
But I cannot make it that day because the office hours of the post office was only 8am-5pm. So I decided that I will get it on the next day.
I managed to go to the post office (08/11/17) to get my package. They said that I need to pay ₱112.00 (but seriously for what is that, you already pay for the international shipping fee and then this. SMH.) Okay after paying I signed on their book to know that I already got my package.
So here are the photos I took by the time I got my package:
Here's the timeline of my order:
Order placed: 4th August 2017
Confirmed payment made: 4th August 2017
Parcel shipped from Korea: 8th August 2017
Parcel arrived in Philippines (post office): 10th August 2017
It only took 6 days after I place my order to arrive. And it was one of the fastest shipment or rather delivery because my order comes from South Korea. (5 stars for Gmarket and also for Synnara for the fast transaction indeed)
On the side note:
I really hope next time it will arrive on my doorstep like please EMS. I’m begging you, it’s so much hassle and time consuming to go to the post office and also the fee that you need to settle.
*Hope this can help you to decide ordering to an online shop. It was fine as long as you stay calm on waiting for your package to arrive.
