How long does it take for my order to arrive?
From the date you place your order with us, it normally takes between 4-10 working days to receive your item in our warehouse from the Korean supplier. Please note that in certain cases, it may take longer than this depending on the supplier or if it is a pre-order item. Then, the transit time listed above applies after we ship it from our warehouse.

Can I combine orders? We are able to combine orders, however we cannot combine any more than two. Please email support@harum.io with both the order numbers that you would like shipped together.

I’m buying a fragile product. How will it be packaged?

Our team is specially trained in preparing fragile items for international shipping. We keep the item in its original packaging and add our own protection as needed, to minimize the risk of damage during transit.

I need to change my shipping address. How can I do this?

Please email support@harum.io with your order number and new shipping address, so that we can update your details on our system.

It is cheaper to choose an unregistered shipping service. May I do so?

All of our shipping methods come with a tracking number. We strive to provide customers with a better and safer service, so we do not offer services that do not provide any tracking numbers.

CUSTOM DUTIES / TAXES & EXTRA FEES
Do I need to pay custom duties / taxes?
Some countries may have import taxes and it is the customer's responsibility to pay for these taxes (where applicable). Unfortunately, we are unable to advise customers on how much these will be, so please ensure to consult your own country’s import tax policy.
Please also note that Harumio is not responsible for any possible extra fees charged by the courier.

Customers will be charged an amount for the original shipping plus returning fee if the packages are rejected for any reason, except in cases of customs duties and taxes due, in which case we can't offer any refund at all. 

Can you declare my packages at a certain value / as a gift?
We are a registered business in Korea and we operate in accordance to Korean export laws. We do not condone undervaluing/under-declaring the price of the items as that is illegal and will be regarded as smuggling by any countries. Likewise, we are not able to declare items as 'gifts' for the sole purpose of avoiding import taxes.

All the books available on Harumio are in Korean, with no English language translation, unless otherwise specified in the product description of that item.

How do I know that I’m buying a genuine product?
All our items are 100% authentic and purchased directly from the official Korean suppliers. You can check out our Instagram (@harumiokorea) to see stories from our team visiting stores around Seoul and purchasing items for our customers.

How do I know my Korean shoe size?
Your Korean shoe size is your feet length in centimeters and there is no distinction between men and women for Korean size. Our size chart is for reference only.
