Gmarket Haul #12

Order placed on July 2nd, total weight 8.15 Kg, received on July 10th.

;17 Unfortunately I got dinged by customs and had to pay around $40Cdn in duties+tax+handling fee. It was probably my mistake too --  I put all the skincare in one order and cell phone accessories + DVD in the other (for combine shipping), but all four declaration boxes on the shipping label were declared as skincare items. Anyway, it could have been worse if they had opened my box...


Dash Crab
Item# 208897121
Impressive device (that could use a better name...)! Big thanks to my sis for taking these lovely photos. This mount uses some kind of suction mechanism instead of tape, which it's perfect for her car because nothing can ever stick to her dash due to the material that it's made of.


Mercury diary case for S3 (Sweet Pink, Mint) and Note (Mint)
Item# 153611505
I was hoping for a pastel mint but it turned out to be hospital mint. Anyway, mint is mint so it still looks minty fresh for the summer. Side note: We bought these because the shells are detachable (so that they can used with a car mount), but the tape on the diary cover is so sticky that it's a hassle just to take them apart. Fortunately the Dash Crab can to hold onto the S3 with the diary cover attached, so we won't have to worry about pulling the cover off every time.


Power Bank Charger
Item# 257629880
It doesn't charge the phone fully but enough to survive for the rest of the day.


Ryoe Cheongamo Shampoo + Hambitmo treatment + Happy Bath Rose and Cherry Blossoms body wash
Item# 245727069
My sis prefers this shampoo over the LG ReEn; this means I will be finishing the two bottles of ReEn on my own...


Sulwhasoo Camellia Hair Oil
Item# 282159363
My hair seems to be softer and more under control in hot/humid weather after using this for the past two weeks. But that could also be because I'm using the Etude House Hair Pack three times a week.


Hanyul Rich Effect Essence Water
Item# 278265863 (Note: This didn't come in a box.)

Not sure if I got the right product...I wanted a light toner for the summer but this felt a little sticky when I tried it. I thought about getting a toner/emulsion set but the emulsion always outlasts the toner. Still trying to decide whether or not to get a set on my next haul.


Hanyul Optimizing Serum
Item# 273784282 (Same seller as the above, no box either.)
I've been wanting to get this and the Lirikos UV cushion (and the Lavida line...) ever since they were featured on Hope-inablog. Too bad my Lirikos order go canceled :(


Lavida White Solution Serum
Item# 252123451
The box was a little beat up but nonetheless it came in a box.


Lavida White Solution Cream
Item# 252123261
Interesting... the container looks luxurious but it's actually made of plastic, while the Beyond Phyto White Ultimate Cream in Haul# 10 looks plastic but it's actually glass. Go figure!


Infinitize Showcase DVD
Item# 270491366
Should have waited for the concert dvd instead...

  1. Hi , I'm still very new to Gmarket. How should I order the items in order to avoid any additional charges by the custom?

    Thanks.

  3. Hi Jac, sorry I'm probably not the best person to ask since I've been getting charged almost every time recently :P I guess it depends on your country and which 4 items Gmarket declares on the shipping label (I think they just pick the 4 most expensive items out of the order...) You might wanna check out Hope-inablog.com or Gmarket bloggers from your region for more info.

  7. Thanks! The White Solution Serum is actually pretty nice. It's got a emulsion texture and a light scent. Unfortunately I'm trying too many things at the same time so I don't really know if it's effective or not lol... gonna try the cream soon.

  9. Hi Gloria, the estimated weight for this item is 0.5kg, so the cost of shipping starts at ₩15,200 (refer to region 3 on this page: http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_help/international_shipping_info.asp .) Even though I bought 4 things from this page, it only counted as one item because the Ryoe shampoo was selected from the main box, while the rest were selected from the "Additional Options" boxes below.

    The initial total for this order comes to ₩39,400 ( ₩15,200 for estimated shipping and ₩24,200 for price of the main item + additional options.) However, since the actual weight is roughly 3kg (shipping cost is ₩37,800 for 3kg as per their chart), Gmarket will ask you to pay additional shipping for the weight difference, which comes to about ₩22,600. (Note: I'm just taking a guess that it's 3kg but it might be more or less...)

    Hope this helps :)
