Shipping
SHIPPING FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS
When placing an order for a subscription, you are subscribing for the NEXT month's box as well as signing up for a recurring subscription for the duration that you chose. Subscriptions sign ups start on the 1st of each month and end at 11:59 pm PST on the last day of each month.
So if you sign up for a subscription anytime between March 1st and March 31st, you will receive the April box as your first box. We ship out boxes between the 1st and 5th of every month to ensure you receive your box in the first half of each month.
SHIPPING FOR NON-SUBSCRIPTIONS
When placing an order for any non-subscription purchases, your order will be received, fulfilled and shipped out within 3-5 business days of placing the order.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
For shipments outside of the U.S., please note that you may incur an import fee/duty fee. We strongly recommend researching your country's import regulations, as we are not responsible for any customs fee that you may incur to receive your shipment.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM CHARGED VAT, CUSTOMS TAXES OR FEES?
Each country has their own laws and regulations for processing shipments from outside the country. If customs charges, fees or tax charges do occur, you are 100% responsible for the fees. Hello Korea Box is not responsible for any fees or taxes that your country may charge you upon delivery. Customs fees are charges by your local government and Hello Korea Box has no control over these import taxes.
Currently, we ship to any state in the United States and have now opened up to Canada and the UK! We are working hard on expanding to more countries and will send an announcement when we are ready. Thank you for your patience!

You may cancel your subscription at any time and just reach out to us if you would like a refund. We can issue you a refund if your box hasn't been fulfilled and shipped yet. However, once the box has been fulfilled and is out of our warehouse, we cannot issue a refund due to the boxes containing consumable items.
You may cancel at anytime, no questions asked! We highly recommend you register an account upon check out so that you can make changes when you need. Your account will allow you to skip months as well in case you need a less permanent option.
