- Where does SubK Shop ship from?
- Do you ship internationally?
FOR INTERNATIONAL (NON-U.S.) CUSTOMERS:
International packages may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, tariff, VAT, fees, etc imposed by the destination country. These charges will typically be due before delivery is attempted. Such charges are not included in the product price or shipping and handling cost, and are the customer’s responsibility as SubK Shop is only charging the transportation fee for the order. There is no way for SubK Shop to verify or anticipate what duties will be levied by a country upon delivery as charges vary across the world, so it is the customer’s full responsibility to check with their local postal or customs office to determine if there will be additional costs.
Please note that international packages that exceed the max size/volume/weight may be split into separate packages and may be subject to additional customs/admin fees per package processed. Size/volume/weight standards are determined by and vary per destination, courier, and shipping speed selected by the customer.

- What does SubK Shop sell?
- Will my album purchase count towards the Gaon and Hanteo charts?
SubK Shop is fully registered to report album sales to count towards the Gaon and Hanteo charts. For the Gaon chart, sales will count for the first day and first week of release. For the Hanteo chart, sales will count once orders are shipped.
As with any other U.S-based store, we cannot guarantee that all purchases of an album will be shipped out within the first day or first week of a release because this depends on how quickly our shipment arrives at our warehouse in the U.S. from our distributors in Korea. Albums are typically shipped to us on release day (sometimes later) and will typically take 2~3 business days to arrive (as long as there are no unexpected delays). While our fulfillment team tries their best to process orders quickly and efficiently after we receive shipment, every single order is hand-packed by our team members, so order volume may also impact shipment as well.
- Will my album purchase count towards the Billboard charts?
As mentioned on our website, Billboard has very specific rules about how an album sale can count towards their charts.
SubK Shop is fully registered to report any eligible sales to count towards the Billboard charts. However, the following are some of the main criteria that need to be met in order for an album to be eligible, according to Billboard's current rules:
- Album must be registered for charting in the US
- Album must be purchased in quantities of 4 or less per order
- Album must ship to a US address
- Album cannot have any loose items
If one or more of the above criteria is not met, the album will not be eligible to count towards the Billboard charts, regardless of the seller's status with reporting or shipping.
Please contact Billboard, Soundscan, MRC Data, or Nielsen directly for further clarification on the official rules, policies, limitations, and restrictions as they may be subject to change without our knowledge at any time, and they are overall best-equipped to answer any inquiries you may have!
- What is a SUBK SHOP EXCLUSIVE?
SUBK SHOP EXCLUSIVES are separate from any items that are included within the standard album/product/collection contents and/or any other offers. They are always official, approved by the respective artist management, valid only at SubK Shop, and are not available anywhere else.
