Bye Bye K-Beauty Items

For the first time ever, TesterKorea shipping felt like ages. I made the order on 16 June, they shipped the items by 29 June and then it was stuck in Singapore since 5th of July (According to the tracking system). Never have I thought that it'd be so serious. So I waited and waited till 4 Aug came and TesterKorea emailed me saying that they're unable to ship the items to me...*Sighs*

To be honest I kinda hear about this through Facebook and friends...Around a week before I got this mail: On how le beloved country started to tighten items from other country to enter our country. Some online shops in FB shared that they face shipping problems too...But since my items were in SG for quite some time, I thought they would make it...But no...*sighs*

Just as I started to feel grateful to have found a place where I can get my necessities with decent price, it has to come to this bitter end. Not that it's a problem without a solution...But items I wanted to try were usually not easily accessible here in Jakarta.

Of course there are brands that have entered the market here...but I dunno why are they so extra expensive here. Like for when the item is priced 125k but it was sold as 259k here. If I earned dollar or that I'm rich then this might not be a problem. I'd just have to pay and get what I want. But for people like me, who always try our best to spend wisely, this is definitely not the best option. Unless I become desperate la. *another sighs*

I have tried finding local online shops. But sometime it's too hard coz some of them sells replica or fakes...Face already so-so still want to apply what non-trustable products wor?? Udah jelek mau tambah hancur?? While for some online shops that I do think that they sell genuine product, mostly they're PO based...Usually it will take around 1 month or more for it to arrive. Seeing from the recent custom problem, I don't think that it'd be easy for them this time around.

Looks like I'll have to find a new source to satisfy my needs...Hopefully I'll find it soon. Luckily I've started going to dermatologist. So all that I really need right now is a place where I can get supplies of sunscreen/sunblock. Wish me luck...

TesterKorea 2

As promised, here's my post on my second purchase from TesterKorea~ So happy when it arrived coz it reached faster than the previous one! Oh btw...I think I've wrote the name of the shop wrongly. Saw lots of people wrote it as TesterKorea instead of Tester Korea when I Google the name. So yeah...

Dear name...y u no space in between one? (Ok...I know...I know...people's preference...hahaha!)

The Box

Plastic Cardboard Box

Hello again Packing Peanuts~

PACKAGING:

Did you see anything different compared to before? If you haven't read my old post, click HERE. Hehe...Can guess it already? Yes...the box! No longer that brown big box...it's a smaller box this time around...A plastic cardboard box!

Now I roughly can know why did they give me a bigger box previously. Must have because one of the items from my previous purchase can't fit this smaller box...so yeah...that's how that huge box came around...LOL!

Anyway...this plastic cardboard box is sturdy too~ So nothing to worry about. Your items are safe!

FREE SAMPLES:

Items above were the free samples I got from TesterKorea. Again there's 4. And I spent roughly about the same amount as my previous purchase...So I can't tell exactly how much that they'll give. But looks like they're not giving any real size samples or mini tube size...only small packets type...Though it wasn't much of a concern for me as I think of them like they're something extra. Satisfied enough! 

Tracking

DELIVERY:

Still using e-Cargo, I'm HAPPY! This time it arrived earlier compared to my previous purchase. Might be because it was a smaller box. Coz this time the box arrived using a motorcycle instead of a van. Arrived nicely with no dent on the box or whatsoever! Definitely a 5 star for both TesterKorea and e-Cargo.

TESTER KOREA

Recently I bought beauty stuffs through an online shop (web) called TESTER KOREA. Surprisingly my items arrived quite fast and I'm very very SATISFIED! Thus, here I am posting in the middle of the night to share it with you guys~

HUGE BOX!

Nicely wrapped~

Neat~

PACKAGING:

Didn't really expect the box to arrive in a huge box since I only bought 3 small stuffs. So I was kinda excited when it arrived. Bigger is more "shiok" (exciting?) la konon. Despite the fact that I'm fully aware that they wouldn't put something else beside what I ordered...LOLOLOL! Maybe that's the standard box size they have for 500g items.

ANYWAY...

I'm really happy with the packaging! First of all...the BOX! It's HUGE  STURDY! Hmm...at least strong enough la in my opinion. Dunno I should praise the one who pack them or praise the shipping company for their excellent handling skills. Coz seriously there's no dent on my box~ So yeah...HAPPY!

Next...the inner part! You see those bubble wrap? They're generous with it! Looking at its condition also makes me smile. So neatly packed! Plus that "round Styrofoam" looks so cute! Although I feel as if that they're a "waste of money"...LOLOLOLOL...but they adds to the overall experience of opening the box. It makes the box to look "fuller".

Overall I'm HAPPY...I repeat...HAPPY with the packaging and handling of items~ 

Items that I bought

Didn't really buy much coz it was my first purchase with them. It's always my kind of thing to try before going deciding whether to trust an online shop or not. And currently I'm going towards positive!

FREEBIES:

They come in sample size...pretty generous I'd say. Got 4 samples for my purchase of USD40++...So it's like you get 1 sample for every USD10? Shall see if my deduction is correct. Currently making another purchase with them...So yeah...hahaha...

On a side note, I like that tiny details like the stickers attached on the plastic. Though if I can be more picky, it'd be better if there's something written in handwriting. Like the one I ever received from some online shop. Though of course it wasn't a must...that would be a sweet gesture in my opinion~

TRACKING

DELIVERY:

Delivery wise, I'd recommend using e-Cargo which was available for Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Why? Coz my last purchase was shipped through them and I got them safely on my hand. So of course I would recommend them. And remember the packaging? Not a single dent was found on the box one lehhh!! Why so perfect one???!!

Shipping wise it was FAST! Considering that most online shops in Indonesia is Pre Order (PO) based and took around 1 month for them to reach us. So far Tester Korea is the best option for buying Korean Beauty product if you're living in Indonesia and wants your items to arrive faster than most online shops! If you know any other online shops that's better, do let me know so that I can give them a try too~

Here's the timeline: I made my purchase on 26th of March (late night), paid on the same day, got my items ready for shipping on 30th of March and finally received them on 7th of April! Fast weh!!

PRODUCTS:

As for the products itself, they claimed that they sell only original products. As I'm no expert in determining whether a product is original or fake, so I live by trust alone...HAHAHA~ //Slapped

So far there's no bad review on the company...so it's still worth to give it a shot la.

I believe that the no. 1 buying decision factor is the originality of the product. 2nd is for the item to arrive safely and 3rd is shipping time. Since they can satisfy the 3 needs I expect from an online shop, thus I am fully satisfied and would love to buy from them again. In fact I've made my 2nd purchase earlier today...hahaha...

Sadly there's no promo code or such. So I can't really share them to you. But price wise they're reasonable and so far offers the best price I've ever come across with. Even falls to the cheaper side compared to most online shops. Shipped directly from Korea some more...So yeah...you decide for yourself! 

Good night and happy weekend!
