THE STAR KOREA 2024.06 - THE BOYZ NEW & KEVIN & JACOB COVER + PHOTOCARD

How long will it take to process and ship my order if it contains any pre-order/back-order items?

Once a product releases in Korea, it takes about 2~3 business days** for it to arrive at our warehouse in the U.S. (if there are no unexpected delays). Upon arrival, order processing will begin (detailed shipping updates can be found on our social media).

Orders are typically processed within 2~3 business days** (normal volume) if all items in the order are in stock.

For high volume orders, it can take anywhere between 5~8 business days** for processing. The shipping speed applies after the order has been processed.

Due to the effects of COVID-19, shipping to some countries may be restricted, in which case, orders may be automatically cancelled or packages may be automatically returned, so please check your country's shipping restrictions before placing an order.

Please remember to film a full, unedited Unboxing Video from beginning to end, check the product condition immediately upon receipt, and contact our Customer Support department at ask@subkshop.com for damaged, defective, incorrect, or missing items.

What does SubK Shop sell?

SubK Shop sells a variety of K-pop goods like albums, lightsticks, official merchandise, exclusives, limited edition products, tour merchandise, and more!

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?

When you see that an item/collection is or includes a SUBK SHOP EXCLUSIVE, it means the respective item/collection is exclusive to SubK Shop and/or includes a special gift or offer with SubK Shop purchases only!

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.
