Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-orders typically arrive at our store 5-7 days after the official release date. However, please be aware that shipping delays are unpredictable, and we have no control over them, as our merchandise ships directly from entertainment and manufacturing companies in Korea.
You can find the release date in the item description. Once we receive the shipment, we begin pre-order processing, which usually takes 3-7 days.
Processing & Fulfillment Times
- High pre-order volume may extend processing times beyond the usual 3-7 days.
- Multiple group releases around the same time can also impact fulfillment speed.
- Orders are processed in the order they were placed, so if you pre-ordered close to the release date, your order may take longer to ship.
If an order is placed, it willΒ take usually 3- 5 business days for our team to process shipment.Β If order includes a pre order item, other purchased items will be held until pre-orders are ready to ship.Β Β We do advise that major pre order release may delay some shipments as we do handle both current orders and pre orders together.
When pre orders are purchased, our description advises you that it take 2-7 business days for our facility to receive the merchandise. Once merchandises is received, our team begins to ship out in the order the pre orders were placed.

Missing Inclusions Policy
Due to the increasing number of false claims, our policy for missing contents has been updated as follows:
- Proof Required:Β To request a replacement from the manufacturer, you must provideΒ a full unboxing videoΒ that begins before breaking the seal. This video is required as evidence to confirm that the missing item was not included from the start.
- Why This Is Required:Β Entertainment companies now mandate this proof due to the frequent occurrence of false claims.
- Replacement Process:Β All replacements for missing contents must be handled through the manufacturer. Since all albums and merchandise arrive sealed, we, as a retailer, cannot verify their contents before shipment.
How Long Does It Take?
The manufacturerβs replacement process typically takesΒ 1-4 weeks.
What If I Donβt Have an Unboxing Video?
If you donβt have video evidence, we may still attempt to request a replacement on your behalf. However, please note that in such cases, weΒ cannot guaranteeΒ that the manufacturer will approve the request.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in following these steps to help us resolve any issues efficiently. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our customer service team!
If you placed your order while the item was still in stock, your order will proceed under our normal processing time. We allocate a specific amount of inventory per item, so if the item shows as βout of stockβ after your purchase, that simply means you secured your copy before inventory ran out.
However, there are rare cases where an item may not shipβsuch as if itβs found to be in poor condition during our inspection process (e.g., a damaged album), we will not ship it out.
In those instances, we want to ensure you receive only quality products and will take the following steps:
- You will beΒ notifiedΒ that the product is no longer available.
- If we areΒ unable to reach you, anΒ automatic refundΒ for the unavailable item will be issued to prevent any delays in shipping the rest of your order.
- You will receive anΒ email confirmationΒ regarding the refund.
If you wish to cancel an album purchase, please promptly inform our customer service team by giving us a call.

When a transaction is declined, it's possible for a temporary hold or pending charge to appear on your account. This happens because your bank may initially approve the payment request, even though our system does not complete the transaction. As a result, your bank holds the funds while attempting to reconcile the discrepancy.
This pending transaction typically clears within 3β10 business days, depending on your bankβs policies. Once released, the funds should return to your account automatically.
In certain cases that transaction may go from Failed to Completed automatically within a few minutes. If you didnβt receive an order confirmation, please contact us to confirm.
