I loved shopping at TesterKorea because of these various reasons:
1. Prices are at par with Korean prices
2. Fast shipping and offers various shipping methods, prices depending on weight and how fast you can receive your order (Registered Mail, EMS, K-Packet and Air Parcel)
* I had availed Air Parcel and Registered Mail but I much prefer to use Registered Mail because it is the cheapest and I am willing to wait :)
* You can read more about the information in here.
3. They package my orders well and complete.
4. Broad range of products from Korean, Japanese and Thai Brands.
5. Ability of a registered member to request any product from Korea.
6. Offers full size and sample products.
7. The best but not the least: Membership Service, in which a registered member can avail a discount based from the total purchases he/she brought from the beginning but must be shipped by TesterKorea. And the best part the discount, it does not expire :) yaay, but this will be painful for my wallet hehe.
The chart below will explain what I mean:

What I dislike about TesterKorea is that the shipping prices is more expensive than before. But it is okay since you can choose a shipping method depending on your budget and patience.
And I notice that I receive fewer samples even though I purchase a lot, 5 at most. But I kinda think that maybe most of their samples are sold so they gave out few samples.
And now for the haul:

hi! did you get taxed for your tester korea haul? It was also over $50, i read your other post about your roseroseshop shop haul where you were charged for the tax. I'm having second thoughts tuloy in purchasing from roseroseshop, my order is about 77,000 won or a lil over $60. I'm worried of taxes too, i paid a lot for shipping cost already.
ReplyDeleteHi sorry for the late reply.. taxes are based po sa invoice from rose rose shop. Di na po nila tinitignan ang declaration ng seller, so di na po nagwork yung dati na pinapalower natin sa seller yung purchase natin. I heard po na there is a site called Althea (ph.althea.kr) , it is a Philippines based shop that sells authentic Korean cosmetics.a Hope this helps you and thank you for reading :-)
