Kpoptown vs Ktown4u
I have ordered from Kpoptown multiple times and I just recently bought 2 items from Ktown4u. Which one did I prefer? Let's find out.
Kpoptown
Kpoptown was the first website I bought kpop cds from. I had checked various sources and lots of people said that Kpoptown was a good website to use. My issue with Kpoptown is that they don't bubble wrap stuff well. If you buy 1 or 2 items they put it in this bubble wrap envelope, which is very eh. If you buy more, they put it in a cardboard box and barely bubble wrap it. They have 2 shipping options, express shipping and small packet. The small packet shipping takes 10-30 days to arrive and tracking is impossible. EMS shipping is way more expensive than small packet shipping and tracking is possible and it only takes 3-7 days to arrive. Kpoptown occasionally has signed cds for sale if you don't like using Mwave but they tend to be more expensive on Kpoptown. I spent $100 total on signed copies of BTOB - Complete, and Teen Top - Natural Born (Passion & Dream) which is okay, but they took well over a month to arrive. Not to mention that my copy of BTOB - Complete is damaged at the corners and on the removable piece of paper that holds everything together. ~
Ktown4u
I recently used Ktown4u and I have no regrets. I bought BTOB - I Mean and the Limited Edition Infinite Be Back Vinyl LP and some free posters in a poster tube. Ktown4u is really easy to contact and they are very helpful. My package couldn't be shipped because the poster tube needed to be in a box so I emailed them and asked them what to do and they asked me to pay extra for shipping but they shipped it immediately after I paid them. It arrived in 6 days. That is extremely fast. That is the speed that Kpoptown EMS shipping can take to arrive. Ktown4u EMS shipping takes 2-4 days to arrive while Kpoptown EMS shipping takes 3-7 days to arrive. Kpoptown can also potentially take around 4 days to ship an album that was just released while Ktown4u ships it on either the day it was released or the day after it was released. Their shipping options are Non-Registered small packet (air), Registered small packet (air), Parcel POST (air), EMS, and EMS Premium (UPS). Registered small packet is usually about $2 more than Non-Registered small packet, depending on the amount of stuff you're getting. I would recommend choosing Registered small packet or Parcel POST since both of them are trackable and not overwhelmingly expensive. Right now, I have both versions of VIXX - Chained Up in my Ktown4u cart and Registered small packet costs $16.42 and Parcel POST costs $24.67. If you're willing to pay a mere $6 extra, I would definitely recommend choosing Parcel POST as it is very convenient and if you're impatient like me, it will arrive at least 1 day sooner than Registered small packet. All of their shipping options are via air and that is so convenient because it arrives a whole lot sooner and it makes me feel less stressed. All of their posters are free with the album, if you want a poster tube it costs an extra dollar or so but they put all of the posters you order into the poster tube. Ktown4u is usually the cheapest option and they are without a doubt the most convenient option.
So, as you can probably tell, I chose Ktown4u. None of the albums I have purchased from Ktown4u have arrived damaged and they all arrived fast and Ktown4u is overall the better option.
