♡ welcome ♡

hello~
my name is kara and this carrd is for anyone interested in buying from me, trading with me, or joining one of my group orders!

about me
i'm 22 and currently based in South Korea. i have a Korean address, a USA address, and direct access to USPS. At the moment I am only able to ship via USPS once a week (normally tuesdays)!
my pronouns are she/her and i'm pansexual
i have carpal tunnel along with a few mental disorders that may affect my response/packaging/ shipping time, please be patient and understanding!
I live with a cat. while i try not to let him near my kpop stuff he sheds a lot so his hair does get on me and could possibly transfer to anything I package. if you are allergic to cat hair/dander please consider that before dealing with me

shipping
I don't really have set shipping days and at the moment I'm only able to go to USPS once a week, let me know if you want to send out same day and i'll try my best!
I ship everything at my local USPS blue box. for stamped mail, I will send you a video of me dropping off your envelope with an address showing. for tracked mail, i will send you your tracking number and tell you when i've dropped it off. i will not send videos of tracked mail, if this makes you uncomfortable please don't buy from me.
since i do not live in the USA, shipping times may be higher than you're used to even though i'm shipping through USPS. please be mindful of this!! if you have questions about how this works or why i have access to a USPS in korea feel free to dm me :)

payment
all my prices are in USD and do not include cost of shipping unless stated
I only accept paypal f&f, zelle, or cashapp. i do not accept paypal g&s, cc, venmo, or anything else not mentioned at all so please don't ask

packaging
before paying i will send you pictures/videos of the item(s) you are buying. if you want extra pictures/ videos, please ask!
i will send you proof of packaging after I receive your address, for pcs/postcards the proof will be a picture of the envelope with your address and the item(s) you're buying next to it. for albums i will send you pictures of how i packaged it along with a picture of the label

please send any money related emoji if you've read all of this

shipping
I don't really have a set shipping day, I'm only able to go to USPS once a week at the moment but I can try to match it with a day we agree on to both ship out.
I ship everything at my local USPS blue box. I will send you a video of me dropping off your envelope with an address showing.
You must do the same or provide some other sort of proof of mailing. If you fail to provide proof i will not send out until i receive yours

packaging
When trading, I will send you either pictures or videos of the item(s) to you, I expect you to do the same
If there are any damages on the item, i will let you know. please do the same for me (I do still trade for damaged items as long as it's not too bad)
I will send you proof of packaging after we exchange addresses, the proof will be a picture of the envelope with your address + the item(s) i'll be sending you next to it
Please package using some sort of protection! I would prefer a toploader at the least, but if you can't then cardboard or another hard protector like it is fine! Do not just put the item in an envelope by itself and send it, or wrapped in a piece of thin paper. Please give it proper protection so it doesn't get damaged. If you pack my item poorly and it arrives damaged, it is your fault even if you have a rule stating 'damages after items sent out are not my responsibility'
I will not send out your item(s) unless I get proof of packaging from you as well

additional info
You don't need a minimum amount of proofs to trade with me, but if you have none or very little I may ask you to send first
Also, not really a requirement but I really hate glitter so I would prefer for you not to send me anything with glitter on it (or if you do, please let me know!)

please send any emoji with an envelope in it if you've read all of this

general info
When I hold GOs, none of the items are on hand and may take a little while to arrive to me. Please be patient if there are delays, I can't control how fast items will arrive to me.
I have both a Korean and an USA address I can ship things to depending on whichever is cheaper to ship to, things to my Korean address will be on hand to me way faster than things to my USA address.
I will make a groupchat for the group order to keep everyone updated easier and in one place, there are times where i may update via individual dms instead.
if something happens and the items get lost or I get scammed by the person selling the items, I cannot refund you. I don't have the money for the items as it goes straight to the supplier I'm buying from. hopefully this will never happen, and I will do my best to make sure this never happens, but if it ever does you will not get a refund.
any items left unclaimed will still be up for sale, but once they arrive to me I might raise the price or put it up for trade

payment
There will be 2-3 payments for each GO, sometimes they'll be collected all at once and other times individually. This is the typical breakdown: 1st payment - cost of item, 2nd payment - EMS (shipping from supplier to me), 3rd payment - domestic shipping (from me to you)
EMS payments are likely to be combined with either item price or domestic shipping if low enough.
I only accept paypal friends & family, zelle + cash app for group orders
there will be deadlines for when each payment is due, and if you miss one your items will be given up without a refund. I will remind people about deadlines, so please make sure to pay on time.
I normally begin collecting payments when most slots are full, but sometimes there are time sensitive GOs that need payment immediately. after I begin collecting payments, I will buy the set/items. I will keep you updated about when I buy them, when they get shipped to me, when they arrive, and anything else.

packaging
when the items arrive to me, I will send you pictures of them along with proof of packaging. for pcs/postcards the proof will be a picture of the envelope with your address and the item(s) you're buying next to it. for albums i will send you pictures of how i packaged it along with a picture of the label

shipping
I don't really have set shipping days, for larger GOs I will plan days to send batches of items out. I will normally send a message to the group chat letting everyone know what day(s) I'll be sending
I ship everything at my local USPS post office.
for stamped mail i will send you a video of me dropping it off in the drop off box and for tracked i will message you your tracking number
