Do you want to order online from Korea, but can’t, because most of the time you find out that shipping costs are way more than the price of what you want to buy? Worry no more, because there's an online store called Gangwon that has you covered.

I've always wanted to buy things from Korea, like packaged food, tea or cosmetics. Usually, I get discouraged because of the shipping costs. Trust me, though, made in Korea is standardized and reliable.

If you love Korean products but get discouraged because of the shipping costs, like I do, I think half of your problem has now been solved. Just open an account with Amazon or eBay, and then you're good to go. Gangwon store delivers anywhere in the world, you get your order delivered to you.

Not too long ago, I came across the online store Gangwon, which has free delivery anywhere in the world. I found the store through its Facebook profile. I checked out the store a few times until I found that I could order and wouldn't have to pay any shipping costs.

I gave it a try ASAP. I checked out the store and ordered a snail mask through Amazon. I was only charged for my order, and there was no extra charge for shipping. I thought it would arrive in many months, like some regular free delivery orders, but guess what. It arrived earlier than expected, despite the distance between Nigeria and Korea.

I got my order delivered to me at the exact address that I had entered, and in good condition, too, with a small gift inside my package. The experience was amazing and they were very efficient.

Korea does it best when it comes to online shopping.
