Reddit – Dive into anything
Hello! With Girls’ Generation’s 15th year anniversary coming up, I wanted to show my support as a long time fan by buying their album. However, I live in Canada* and I have no idea where to buy kpop albums without shipping basically costing the value of the album itself.
I dug around Reddit and it seems the popular options are kpopmusicstorekorea, London Drugs, Sunrise and Walmart. Unfortunately, kpopmusicstorekorea got rid of their “free shipping over orders 45+” option and I expect London Drugs & Walmart to having nothing but BTS albums lol. My best shot is Sunrise, but I’m not too optimistic considering SNSD is a 2nd gen group.
Any help (in store or online sites) is appreciated! Thank you!!
*And to clarify, I live in Canada, but not in Toronto or Vancouver lol
Edit: Thank you to everyone for all your recommendations!! 🫶 I ended up going with LightUpK and bought two albums from them for quite a reasonable price, which I am very excited to receive
Edit 2: Mini update
Order placed: Aug 5th
Order shipped: Aug 17th
Order received: Aug 22nd
Overall I’m quite happy with my purchase from LightupK! I had to make a slight modification to my order (before shipment) and they were more than happy to modify it!
The shipping was super fast (5 days (originally 7 days)) and my albums were not damaged at all. The album I ordered was pre-ordered, so it did take some time (in total) for it to arrive, but if you order albums that are already jn stock, they should arrive a lot faster than pre-orders.
I hope this will help any Canada based kpop fans :))
