Picky Box Shipping 🎁

Hello Pickies! πŸ’• We noticed many of you had questions and concerns regarding shipping prices. Here at Picky, we pride ourselves on being honest, transparent and welcoming! We value your feedback and want to make sure you know your comments are heard! πŸ₯° So we’d like to offer a more in-depth look at how our shipping prices are determined. Our office is based out of Seoul, South Korea, which allows us the incredible opportunity to bring you the best of K-beauty each month through our giveaways and Picky Boxes! However, this also means our Picky Boxes are shipped from Korea. There are many factors at play when it comes to calculating shipping price, and these include: 🎁 The value of the products. Each Picky Box is worth between $150 to $200 USD, and this price is used to determine fees which may be included in the shipping price. This varies depending on the country of origin and destination. βš–οΈ The size and weight of the box. On average, each Picky Box contains 6-8 (or more) full-size products. We are constantly working to improve the Picky Box as well, and October’s box offered a total of 9! Since the number and type of products offered each month differs, the weight will fluctuate accordingly. ✈️ The distance of the destination country from Korea. Additional surcharges for fuel or remote addresses. These surcharges are added by the carrier and are dependent on the price of fuel at the time of shipping, as well as the address of the recipient. 🌏 International incidents. The pandemic, global supply chain crisis, inflation and conflict have greatly impacted the shipping industry in recent years, and especially in recent months. Unfortunately, this has raised prices worldwide as a result. International shipping is annoying to say the least. We are very sorry and understand the shipping cost can be a big barrier for some. In order to keep costs down, we do not charge any handling fees ourselves. The price quoted for shipping comes directly from the carrier. However, we always try our best to provide the cheapest, most reliable and timely shipping possible for the weight and contents of the boxes each month. We hope we’ve addressed your questions and concerns! As always, we appreciate your feedback, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have additional inquiries! πŸ’•

Shipping costs are going up for everything everywhere, this is totally understandable. The value of Picky boxes still far outweighs the shipping cost for me (at least in my country). Thank you for putting together these awesome boxes for us every month!

prices are going up everywhere unfortunately ... for how many products you give in the picky boxes paying 40-50$ is actually a pretty good deal if you think about it though 😊

Thank you so much for offering these boxes Picky. They're a steal even if they cost $50 to ship considering the cost of feul has gone up immensely.

Shipping costs even locally increased so no surprise for increased costs internationally. Not to mention customs tax. πŸ™„ For me though,as long as the shipping is reasonably less (ideally, way way less) than the value of the Picky box, I'd say it still is a good steal!

I love the Picky boxes and they are always excellent deals. The amount of goodies definitely outweighs the shipping price.
