Do NOT buy from them
August 6, 2023

I would not recommend this site anymore, as they have a huge lack of customer service and do not know how to handle mistakes professionally.
I've been buying from this site since 2017, as it used to be one great way to get kpop albums. They offer merch and lightsticks no other site does, and despite shipping being high I never had a problem when I bought from them. However, I made a big order of lightsticks (worth more than 400$) and something came wrong with the shipping. I do not know if they filled the customs wrong, or if they sent batteries with them, or whatever—I never got the package. When tried to contact them because the package was being returned, they were REALLY REALLY RUDE about it and couldn't stop saying it was my fault somehow for not calling the shipping courier. They told me they wouldn't refund me the shipping since they sent the package, and I ended up opening a paypal claim. It took me a month, but I got my money back. They deleted my account.
Please avoid buying from them at all costs, there are better shops nowadays.

Horrible
April 4, 2023

The worse site I ever ordered from. I ordered an OST vinyl album in February of 2022. Never received the item or any information and in August asked for a refund. In March 2023 it was finally canceled and a refund granted in 3-5 days. It's been 3 weeks and still no refund.

How long will KpopUSA continue to blame COVID for their lack of customer service, slow shipping and emails where they request you to sign a verification form but they fail to attach the form.

Placed an order for a concert dvd on the evening of MAR 08,2022. Received the automated response and nothing else after that.

I sent them an email a couple of days later, asking for some sort of update on my order and received a response 24hrs later (next day), informing me not to be concerned and that my order was being processed and would be shipped out soon.

Exactly one week after placing my order (MAR 15), they finally shipped it out using DHL and it arrived at my door on MAR 18, from Korea to Melbourne, Australia, very well wrapped and in perfect condition.

I didn't mind the 2 week timeframe so much, but the lack of customer updates was concerning, as I would have been left hanging (wondering where my money went) for a week if I had not requested an update.

Anyway, they're legit if anyone's wondering, just keep bugging them if you want any status updates and don't expect them to ship the next day (or week) or anything.

Slow customer service
February 17, 2022

I had issues for a while with the payment issues because it's pretty vague on the website. I was able to change from bank wire to paypal however it took a while for them to process. It took several emails to finalise my order but in the end it still arrived after a month. I would say shipping is fast if you don't have any order placement issues! Albums came in great quality the only thing they really lack is customer service.

Question and Notice
February 14, 2022

I ordered items like albums and posters but I made a mistake with one of my orders and so I wanted to cancel it but I couldn't cancel it and get a refund. And when I checked the ratings I regret even buying from here. I contacted the Paypal because I used my money from there and the shop. And I'm just waiting for their response. I took pictures just in case if they ever try scamming me. I just want to get my money back and cancel the order. And I wanted to know if paypal will help me get my money back because I still haven't had a update on the order, I contacted the shop and paypal the same day I ordered the items.

No reply, also shut down your account
February 9, 2022

They don't reply email. I have unbox video and I tell them I miss something, then they closed my account on their website. If you still trust them, I will say good luck!

Satisfied
December 4, 2021

I am very satisfied with the purchase. I bought Christmas Evel. I was constantly informed about the entire course of purchase, shipment of product and delivery. The product was shipped on the day the album was released and was shipped to Europe in 3 days. The price of DHL was normal, not like some sellers ask for over 100 euros, / incredible and sad at the same time /. But Kpoptown did not disappoint me, I am very satisfied, I definitely recommend. And from now on I will be shopping mainly in Kpoptown for everything related to K-POP. Thank you K

For the love of God do not buy from them.
The preordered items will always get sold out AFTER you bought it.
But they would still charge you the shipping fee.
No notification or refund about the cancelled item unless you ask them.
I was so excited about my limited edition item and then they tell you two months later they are gone.
So why bother?

Great page
May 26, 2020

I don't get the bad reviews I've bought from them more than five times and every time the goods arrived safely. The albums come in bubble wrap.
I only has trouble one time and it was my fault (i wrote the wrong address and when i realized it was already send back to korea) and they help me with everything (i was supposed to pay shipping again but they put it waaaay cheaper that it's supposed to be). So overall in my opinion it's a great place to buy kpop albums (your buys count for hanteo chart so that's a great bonus)
I hope my review helps you :)

HORRIBLE
December 31, 2019

I preordered a DAY6 Seasons Greetings 2029 from this website. It still hasn't arrived yet, and I emailed them 3 times, with no response. I should have went with my gut and chose another website to preorder from. I feel so stupid for not checking the reviews before ordering from that horrible website.

I ordered three times from Kpoptown and the third one will probably be my last.
First time I ordered two albums and they arrived after 16 days and they came in good condition.
Second time I ordered four albums and they arrived after a month which was already ridiculous but they came in good condition except one album that was a little ripped on the side (I guess it got damaged during shipping) but it wasn't that bad.
Third time I preordered Stray Kids Clè 2: Yellow Wood limited edition and they shipped it out one day after it was released. But since today, I've never received it. Last update on my tracking was on July 1st and until this day it still says that it's been in transit. But it's been over two months. I've messaged them once in July asking about whereabouts of my album and they said they send request to Korea post to open an investigation about whereabouts of my album and that it could take up to few weeks. It's been a month since then and I've gotten no updates so I messaged them again and they basically said the same thing as the last time. I am really mad about everything because it was a preorder and limited edition that I won't ever be able to get again.

Good experience
July 21, 2019

I don't get the hate towards this online shop. I ordered a bunch of bts stuff and I live in Germany. All came in very good condition it was well packaged and protect with bubblewrap. Sure I had to wait 3 weeks but from Korea to Germany it's totally fine! And yes I had to pay taxes but that's because of Germany and ok the shipping was high but I ordered a bunch of stuff. And if I texted them they replied. All in all I'm very happy with this shop.

I used to trust this store a lot i bought a lot of things from this company. This time though, i recieved 2 albums and they were both damaged. Every page had fallen out. I contacted them about this and they said they'd re-send it but i would have to pay for the shipping. I spent a lot of money already expecting a good album so i wasn't about to pay 20-30$ shipping for something i already bought. And i messaged them saying that i can't afford to pay more money for something i should already have because that's just ripping me off. I emailed them 3 times and they ignored all my emails. Guess who's never shopping from those b*tches again.

I've spent a lot of money buying things from this site over the years and most of the time everything was perfect. This time though, I have received a faulty album, it was scratched and the booklet was strangely warped for some reason.

After contacting them, they offered to refund a small amount of the original price. But of course I was not satisfied with that because the goods they delivered aren't working as intended. I let them know I wanted either a full refund or the item replaced and since then they have completely ignored all my emails. They've not given me a refund of any kind nor a new item.

After being a loyal customer for years, you'd think they would try to fix the problem a little better. I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Ordered BT21 Reebok Royal Bridge 2.0 CHIMMY

Ordered on Dec 22 2018, they didn't ship them until Dec 31, which with the Holidays etc, I'm ok with that. Once they were shipped it took 7 days to arrive at my door, which isn't bad at all coming from South Korea to the U.S.A. I did have to contact them for a Tracking number, but they responded quickly with a number for me and I was able to track it all the way through the delivery process.

Very happy with my purchase, shipping is high but I wanted to be able to track it for piece of mind! Packaging was done well and was secure.

This is the first time I have ever ordered from Kpoptown or any kpop website, and it was a recommendation from a stranger on Instagram, because I could not order these from the Official Reebok.kr site! Sincerely, 47 Year Old ARMY!
