HI mailing something to korea?

Question

Hi a friend wants to know if I can ship har something to Korea and I was wondering If they have different letting than we do and if thats possible or if there adresses look like ours

Answer 1

Of course you can mail to Korea. You need your friend's address. Korean writing is helpful, but if you know English words its ok. We have many people who read English.

Answer 2

If you have the address in Korean, either print it out and stick it on the package, or copy it EXACTLY by hand (make sure to differentiate the little squares from the little circles).

You can write the romanized address (English alphabet version), and it will get there, but I figure it's probably easier for their postal workers if the address is in Hangeul (Korean letters). So if you CAN do it in Korean, you should, if you can't, English is fine.

You should have "South Korea" at the end of the address in English, however. Make sure you specify SOUTH Korea if the city isn't someplace obvious like Seoul or Pusan, since packages have been known to end up in North Korea. They will forward them, but that'll add some transit time.

Oh, and be warned, shipping to Korea can be pricey.

Answer 3

Just get her address and send it. I used to have stuff shipped from Amazon.com, my parents, etc. All in english it may take a little longer but it'll get there. You can also try Fed Ex or DHL. They'll no how to get it to her.

Answer 4

You can certainly mail to Korea.
Their addressing system is different, but it will get there using our form.
If you use their form the US postal workers are too stupid to deliver the mail.

Answer 5

you can put the english translation, it should be ok. put it as close as you can to how it sounds in korean, etc.
