Q. When will my subscription box ship?

Q. How do recurring subscriptions work?
For recurring subscriptions, your next order is automatically created exactly 3 months after your original order date. Once that order is generated, it ships after the same 2–3 business day processing period.
Q. ⚠️ Important: Can I order products from different brands together?
Please order items from the same brand together, and avoid mixing different brands in a single order.
Each Korean brand we carry uses its own shipping carrier, so combining products from different brands in one order may result in higher shipping costs. For example, Brand A may ship via FedEx while Brand B ships via Korea Post, meaning a mixed order is handled as separate shipments.
To keep your shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing a separate order for each brand.
