FAQs

frequently Asked Questions

Pre-orders typically arrive at our store 2-7 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 will take usually 3- 5 business days for our team to process shipmentIf order includes a pre order item, other purchased items will be held until pre-orders are ready to ship.  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.

You are also welcome to contact us anytime via email or phone (during business hours PST) for an updated status.

If you encounter any issues with an item in your order, you must notify us within 7 days of the delivery date. Timely reporting is essential for us to assist you effectively. To begin the process, please submit a claim as soon as possible.

Missing Inclusions Policy

Due to the increasing number of false claims, our policy for missing contents has been updated as follows:

  • Proof Required: To request a replacement from the manufacturer, you must provide a full unboxing video 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: Entertainment companies now mandate this proof due to the frequent occurrence of false claims.
  • Replacement Process: 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 manufacturer’s replacement process typically takes 1-4 weeks.

What If I Don’t Have an Unboxing Video?

If you don’t have video evidence, we may still attempt to request a replacement on your behalf. However, please note that in such cases, we cannot guarantee 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 “out of stock” after your purchase, that simply means you secured your copy before inventory ran out.

However, there are rare cases where an item may not ship—such as if it’s 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 be notified that the product is no longer available.
  • If we are unable to reach you, an automatic refund for the unavailable item will be issued to prevent any delays in shipping the rest of your order.
  • You will receive an email confirmation regarding the refund.

If you wish to cancel an album purchase, please promptly inform our customer service team by giving us a call.

Phone Assistance Hours:

• Monday – Saturday: 11:30 AM – 7:00 PM PST
• Sunday: 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM PST

We will take immediate action to address your request. It’s important to note that our orders can sometimes be packaged on the same day or the day after they are placed. Upon cancellation of your order, please be aware that your refund may take 5-7 days to process. Once the refund has been processed, it cannot be undone.

It’s important to note that there are specific restrictions on cancellations:

  • If the order has already been shipped out, we are unable to cancel it.
  • If the order is a pre-order, a cancellation cannot be made once it has been placed.

Please allow 3-7 business days to see this refund reflected in your account. Please note that the exact timing might vary based on your payment provider’s policies.

Yes, we do! You can use gift cards during checkout on our website.

If you run into any issues using your gift card, feel free to reach out, we’re happy to help!

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 3–10 business days, depending on your bank’s 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 didn’t receive an order confirmation, please contact us to confirm.

Once your package leaves our facility, it is the responsibility of our third-party carrier, USPS (United States Postal Service). At this point, we no longer have control over the handling or delivery of your package.

If your package hasn’t arrived yet, we recommend the following steps:

  • You can do this on the USPS website or by visiting your local post office. USPS will investigate and help locate your package.
  • If you have trouble filing a claim, please contact us

In the unfortunate event that you believe your package was stolen, please file a police report with your local law enforcement. This is important for addressing potential theft and helps authorities in recovering your item.

Please note that while we do our best to provide excellent service, we cannot be held liable for lost or missing packages once they are in USPS’s care. For more details, please review our Terms and Conditions on our website.

If your tracking information shows that your package has been marked as “Undeliverable,” it may be due to reasons such as an incomplete or ambiguous address, or the absence of a secure location for delivery.

When this occurs, the carrier typically initiates a “Return to Sender” process, meaning the package is on its way back to our store. Once we receive the returned parcel, we prioritize contacting you to resolve the issue.

Reshipping & Refund Policy:

  • Uninsured shipping classes (e.g., Media Mail): You are responsible for any postage due. If you request a reshipment, you will be charged for shipping costs and postage due fees. If you opt for a refund instead, the shipping cost will be excluded, and the postage due amount will be deducted from your subtotal.
  • Priority Mail & Ground Advantage: These shipping methods do not incur postage due charges, but if your order is returned due to an undeliverable address, failed delivery attempts, or refusal of delivery, a 15% restocking fee will apply.
