Last June 3, 2013, I made my first online purchase at KPOP MART and KPOP TOWN. Actually, it really isn't my first time ordering online since last year, I ordered Big Bang's official lighstick version 3 from an online shop in facebook. But this time, I consider it my first time since the both said shops are really an international dealer, not just a local one.

I ordered and payed at both websites on June 3, 2013. At first I was really, really nervous because it took a day or two before they officially accepted my payment via Western Union unlike using Paypal. While KPOP TOWN accepted my payment earlier at June June 4, 2013, KPOP MART accepted it on June 5, 2013. During that time, I was really anxious about my payment that I sent (or spammed) them a lot of emails regarding my payment. What do you know? Maybe something happened and they weren't able to receive it.

Since during the time I ordered my XOXO album from KPOP MART, people were rushing buying it, it took several days before my order was shipped. KPOP TOWN shipped my order on June 9, 2013; KPOP MART shipped my order on June 12, 2013.

Usually they would just send you an email noticing you that they already shipped your order, but on KPPOP MART's case, it was very sweet of them to even send you images of your pacakage/order before they ship it. It really is, a con for all KPOP MART's customers to receive pictures of their package before they even ship it because we are all sure that our order is safe and is shipped.

I waited about two to three weeks before our local post office sent me a notice to claim my package. Though KPOP MART shipped my package three days later than KPOP TOWN did, the first notice that I received was from KPOP MART. After seven days, another notice arrived again-- it was for my package from KPOP TOWN. The notice looks like this:

 Before you could claim your package from them, they would ask you to pay a small amount for their 'customs fee'. Well good thing it was only a small amount unlike from the blog I've read (she is also from the Philippines like me) that scared the hell out of me by choosing EMS as your way of shipping.

From the said blog, the girl ordered a nail art set from China. She choose EMS as her shipping since she could get her package a lot earlier than standard shipping does.

Well here in the Philippines, you would have to be informed by the post office by a notice to get your package unlike in other countries that they will deliver it straight to your door. And if you choose to ship your pacakge through EMS, you would have to go to the designated EMS package claiming post office (at Pasay) that is indeed, very far.

So yeah, back to the blog, once the girl was about to claim her package, the personel there first asked her to pay almost 75% of the total amount of her pacakge (she already payed though through Paypal). And when she asked what it was for, they only said a lot of nonsense alibys. That is why I'll never choose EMS as a shipping option. Not only it is very expensive in my opinion, they would also open your package in front of you in the post office for them to be sure that nothing prohibited is in your package, like wth.

Okay, back to the topic, this is already the pacakge KPOP MART sent me. I actually ordered two EXO XOXO Kiss verion album with the unfolder poster option. The box is long because of the hard tube case the poster is in.

The album was securely wrapped in a bubble wrap. Btw, I got the Kiss version with the wolf sticker!

They also sent me these back-to-back mini photos as a free gift. I actually got eight of them, I gave the four to Nielle unnie while I traded the SeBaek picture with my bestfriend, KwonMin-ah, with this picture.

The picture is also from Korea and is actually quite big, but since I haven't bought the Hug version yet with that kind of poster, I traded it.

I was really surprised that the poster was so big compared to my other Super Junior posters. Wondering what photocard I got? Well let's just say that Lord showered luck all over the world and I luckily got them all..

I only bought one album, which is the Kiss version, and you guessed it. I GOT TWO PHOTOCARDS!!!!!!!!!!! I actually got two photocards of my husband, Kai. I was so freaking happy that I screamed out of happiness at the hallway of our school together with a baffled KownMin-ah and Nielle unnie with me when we were opening it.

You might be asking, 'If you got two Kai photocards why is it that the other photocard in the picture above is Yixing?' Well KwonMin-ah actually asked her cousin to buy both Kiss and Hug version in Korea when they went there and she actually got both Yixing photocard in both versions so yeah..

Btw, Yixing is my third bias next to Kris so I am so, so happy! Asdfghjkl can't contain feels~

KPOP MART also gave me this face mask as a free gift. I am so, so satisfied with KPOP MART!!!

Now for KPOP TOWN. Actually I choose standard shipping as my shipping option but I really have no idea why it says there EMS. Anyway since Nielle unnie ordered Tablo's Pieces of You book, they put it in a box instead of a plastic that they usually use.

Sorry, I can't open this. It's not mine, it's Nielle unnies'. So as seen, it is also securely wrapped in a bubble wrap and the book is also sealed like the XOXO album (it doesn't show since I already opened the album).

This is the SNSD Tiffany's style cat-ears headband that I ordered in Florescense Pink.

I also ordered three EXO member earrings. One Kai, one Yixing and one Baekhyun for KwonMin-ah.

BAEKHYUN

They also gave me this contact lense discount coupon.

Okay. Anyway, that's all. Thank you for reading!

Here's my selca wearing the headband and Yixing's earrings.

just ignore that.
