Orders

Please note that all products do not come with warranty. All products are sealed, official and directly from respective companies in Korea.

How long will my orders take to arrive?

The preorder waiting time varies depending on the product you order. You may check with us if you need help with this.

If you are ordering items that consist of instock and pre-order, we will only ship them out once the pre-order items have arrived to facilitate a one-time shipping process and a one time shipping rate.

 

How do I know my order is fulfilled and paid for?

We will automatically send out an email after the transaction is approved by the system and if there is anything that we need to follow up with, we will contact you respectively so do remember to key in a valid email address.

Additionally, you can email us at krmerchs@gmail.com if there any issues with your order and we will try to reply to you as soon as possible.

By when must I collect my order that is ready for collection?

All preorder items or instock items ordered for self collection must be collected within 2 weeks of item arrival or otherwise stated. If the item is an instock item, the 2 weeks duration starts from the date of purchase. Failure to collect within 2 weeks will result in the order to be automatically completed / confiscated and no refund or exchange can be done after the stipulated time frame. Hence, please collect your items as soon as possible.

If we still have your ordered item with us after the deadline and you wish to collect the item, a fee of $1 per day from the 2 weeks deadline will be imposed. If the item is not available anymore, we will not conduct any refunds or exchanges strictly.

What if the item that I want is not on the website?

For items that do not have the pre-order label, we unfortunately do not take any more orders for them. However, we may also be in the midst of updating our products so feel free to drop us an email at krmerchs@gmail.com and we will try our best to help you!

I am missing contents/damaged contents inside the album/merchandise I purchased. Can I get an exchange?

Unfortunately, we only sell sealed albums/merchandise. Any missing contents or damaged items in the album/merchandise would be due to production error/defect in which we are of no control of. Production errors are not in our control as we are not part of production. We seek your understanding.

Please also note that there is no warranty for lightsticks. All are official from the respective companies.

I have received a wrong product.

Please contact us within 7 days of product delivered date with an unboxing video of the parcel (it has to show the shipping label in the video on the parcel) and send it to krmerchs@gmail.com . We will get back to you as soon as possible. If an exchange would be required, the product has to be returned for the exchange to be guaranteed within 7 days. The product has to be in its original packaging, sealed and brand new for the exchange to be guaranteed. If the product is not returned in its original condition within the stipulated time frame, the exchange will not proceed. Unfortunately, if the product has been opened, an exchange will not be possible.

I have made an order, but I changed my mind.

Sorry, we do not do any refunds once order is placed unless the item is out of stock and there would be no restock for this item, and we are unable to secure the item. We have processed your order immediately after a buyer makes the order to secure the item immediately. In this case of out of stock, you will be granted full refund. If an item is out of stock currently but a restock would be coming up, and we have noted in the description box of the item that there would be no estimated date of the new restock while you had decided to proceed with the preorder and needed to wait, we cannot do a refund as we would have already placed an order for your item. Hence, do confirm your order before placing an order. We strictly do not do cancellations of orders.

For any orders that are applicable for a cancellation on preorder on case by case basis, ONLY store credits may be issued.

I am missing contents in my order.

Please email us the unboxing video proof of the parcel (it has to show the shipping label in the video on the parcel) to krmerchs@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please note that with no unboxing video proof, no actions will be taken.

Please also note that there is no warranty for lightsticks. All are official from the respective companies.

I would like to cancel my order.

We strictly do not do cancellations of orders, unless the item is out of stock. Hence please confirm before placing an order.

My Lightstick is not working as per how it should work.

Please rest assured that all products are official, and are sealed from the respective companies in Korea. All products do not come with warranty, including lightsticks. If there is any issue with the lightstick, we will need an unboxing video which includes the opening of the parcel, including the address, waybill shown in the video and nothing should be cut out of the video. This is to ensure that the lightstick is from our store. Please note that due to multiple counterfeit lightsticks in the market, this is the only way we can ensure that the lightstick is sent from krmerch. If any of these are excluded from the video, krmerch reserves the right to refuse to help to ask the respective companies for an exchange. Please also note that there are strictly no refunds, and exchanges are subjected to the respective companies in Korea's discretion.

Do I Need a poster tube for my order?

It is optional. If your order has a poster, we will roll it in the poster tube if you purchased a tube. Otherwise, posters will be folded. Please also note that posters are only given with the albums if they are preordered before their respective release dates.

What courier companies does krmerch use to ship my parcel?

Singpost, Qxpress, DHL Express, J&T express.

Certain countries only have the option of DHL express. DHL express is highly recommended due to the reliability of the courier service.

Tracked shipping (Singpost/Qxpress) is not recommended due to the high transit time, limited tracking information, or loss of parcel. It is only offered for customers that prefer a more affordable shipping cost. However, selecting Tracked Shipping as the shipping method for your order holds a risk of the mentioned above and the risks will have to be beared by the buyer if the buyer selects this shipping method.
