Pay in KRW Β· No hidden fees Β· Korean forwarding agent
Most customers assume paying in USD is safer when using a Korean forwarding or proxy shopping service. The reality? It almost always costs you more β thanks to hidden markups baked into the exchange rate.
The Problem with USD Payment
That USD price isn’t the real price
Korean shopping sites that display USD aren’t using the official exchange rate. They apply their own internal rate β with a hidden markup quietly added in. You’re paying extra before you even check out.
