    Have bought from both and never had any problems. Kpopmart tends to have older and rarer albums in stock when other sites don't (for example Wonder Girls' Reboot and Chungha's Gotta Go limited edition), but they also charge a bit more. Kpoptown is cheaper and I really appreciate that they let you pick versions even for older albums (like BTS's hyyh pt 1) 😊

    I use kpoptown all the time. For some albums I've still received preorder benefits months after the album originally came out. I only had one instance where they forgot an album in my order and they instantly gave me a refund for that. Customer service is wonderful as well and very quick to talk with you over any issues.

      for shipping, do you normally use "small packet service"? because i've never bought anything from kpoptown before and i really want to get a lightstick but i saw that if you choose that shipping option, tracking is "impossible/cheap" and if your package gets lost, you won't get a refund so i'm scared that my package might get lost knowing my luck hahaha

    for me personally, i live in europe and the shipping in kpoptown costs 48$ in any way, i can't choose the small packaging. i would like to order 7 albums from there bc some are out of stock. i tried kpopmart and there was the itzy album that i wanted (that was out of stock in kpoptown) so i want to order 8 albums and the shipping is 8$.
    KPOPTOWN total: 147.90$
    KPOPMART: 122.90$
    so i think for me personally, kpopmart is better. i also heard that they send pictures of the order so that's actually very nice.

    I prefer Kpopmart actually but that’s only because they pack Album with poster tube in the same package and they have better packaging in my opinion. Kpoptown has sent me damaged albums since they failed to put enough bubble wrap and snug albums in a bubble mailer instead of a box. Also Kpopmart always sends you a picture of your order via email so you know what your getting. Even after pre order I usually get the benefits :)

    • @misaespino4922
      @misaespino4922 5 лет назад +13

      Also if anyone ever does bulk orders or you just want to order with your friend I recommend Crazy Kpop. Their site after a certain amount of items does not change the shipping price but if you email them what you want they answer pretty promptly based on kst. I remember buying $800 with my friends and we got a major discount of like $200. All the albums we ordered we didn’t necessarily get posters but we got the posters and albums that were really old came with pre order benefits it was amazing tbh. Crazy Kpop also has lots of free posters so we even got some free extra posters in our order 😅

    @mfraye12 5 лет назад +56

    Kpoptown and Kpopmart are generally my two go-to places, and I just compare and see what's the cheapest option for what I'm getting. But just saying, if you're buying more than one album at a time, Kpopmart will individually bubblewrap each album. Kpoptown will bubblewrap everything together, so the albums may end up rubbing up against each other. So Kpopmart's packaging is imo a lot better if getting more than one album.

    Great video! I use kpoptown every so often, mostly if something's cheaper there. I also find that they tend to have some stuff that I can't get anywhere else (rare albums or merch). I don't think I've ever had a problem with them, and I'm one of those people who lives on the wild side and tends to use the cheapest possible shipping even if there's no tracking 😂 I will say that if an album's not a pre-order I feel like they're a little slow to ship compared to others. But it's good to know that kpopmart is comparable to kpoptown! I'll feel more comfortable using it in the future.

Kpopmart's searchbar is useless but at least it's easy to find one artist' page lol. They have different use, I use Kpoptown when I want to pick a specific version or extra bubblewrap, and Kpopmart when I want an older album or some rarer versions (I was able to buy Loona's XX limited editions on there after seeing how production got messed up, lucky me).

    when I first started buying albums, I used both, but mainly use kpoptown for everything now (sometimes i buy albums from a local store, but that's beside the point) I always use the small packet delivery method because I'm a broke college student. the only time I had an issue with kpoptown was when I ordered two Carat Bongs cause I was gonna see SVT in concert. They came two months later than usual, luckily, I ordered them early on, so they came in time for the concert. The reason for the delay was because they quickly ran out of stock, since they were just released then. I wasn't the only one that had that issue either. >

    I think kpopmart has more “rare” albums then kpoptown do tbh.
    When bts’ love yourself answer came out I really wanted the E version since I thought the pictures were really beautiful but apparently you could only choose a random version or buy all 4 versions so I emailed kpoptown and asked why you couldn’t choose version and then after their respond they said that they could send me the E version for the same price as the random choice which I was really happy about :D

    As someone who likes to live life on the edge, I've never had issues with using small packet from kpoptown - it always shows up and is packaged well. It does take basically EXACTLY two weeks though so if you need something fast, another option is better.
    Of course everyone's experience could be different so it's always safer to have a tracking number but just to add some anecdotal evidence that small packet (at least from kpoptown) has been fine for someone out there!

    I order all of my albums from kpoptown and nearly always use the cheapest shipping available, I have never had a single issue with them and I've probably ordered about 70+ albums through them. I live in the UK and their prices consistently work out cheaper, including shipping, than any other site out there. Albums normally arrive with me within 10 or 11 days with the cheapest shipping and 3 or 4 days with DHL or EMS. They sometimes take a few days to ship out items that are current stock (not preorder) but that doesn't bother me too much. I only spring for tracked shipping when I'm ordering 4 or 5 albums at once. I've tried Kpopmart in the past but they took much longer to ship out and were more expensive.

The shipping price and speed both choicemusicLA and music plaza are the same. Because they’re using usps and they shipped it from LA. I’ll use music plaza if album that I want not available in choicemusicLA or catchhopcd 😁

    I have used both and I prefer Kpopmart. Never had an issue with them. Kpoptown on the other hand... I received the wrong album from them, and when I emailed them they refused to offer help and didn't want to send me the correct album, so I never got what I ordered. After a while I decided to give them another chance because I thought "mistakes happen, this was probably a one time thing" but nope. I received the wrong album again and they refused, again, to give me the album I ordered. Never ordered anything from there after this.

Like I never paid for any online order before using the wire transfer/bank wire payment method. My bank legit charges a $45 wire fee. My kpop order bill was $272.60 so crazy!

    Yeah for some weird reason on Kpopmart their search bar doesn’t even work. They need to fix that lol.
    I’ve been buying albums from Choice Music LA lately. The prices on the albums are just a little bit more expensive but the shipping costs are pretty cheap and I usually use the cheapest shipping method, which comes with a tracking number once it’s been shipped. I preordered my JUS2 albums on March 3rd before they came out and they were shipped on March 8th. My albums will be arriving on the 19th. I believe it still takes the same amount of time it would take if you ordered from Kpopmart or Kpop town when ordering from Choice Music LA using the cheapest method for shipping, but the albums come in pretty good condition. I tested that out with my Taemin album I bought last month.

      i emailed them about the shipping and it was shipped a few days later but now i’m having problems with dhl. they’re asking me for an extra €40 to have the albums delivered and idk if it’s genuine or not lol

    i was wondering if you could tell me where you buy majority of your albums? i'm worried about shipping, packaging, etc
