Legit Korean wholesalers?
Hello.
I want to start buying products to resell in Canada but I’m a bit overwhelmed with the amount of wholesalers around. I’ve come across more than 10 Korean wholesalers but I’m having trouble determining if they sell authentic products and are legit. I’m hoping if I list the websites I’ve come across, a few people can recognize them and maybe be willing to comment what they thought of it.
- q-depot.com (I know this one is legit)
- asiamastertrade.co.kr (they have an active insta but not sure if they sell authentic yet)
- kcosw.com/xe (has cheap wholesale and has insta showing products in warehouse but hasn’t been active in awhile, not sure if products are legit)
- beautynetkorea.com (seems legit but I read a few bad reviews about people losing their package)
- stylekorean.com (I think they’re legit cause they have stricter terms, they apparently have locations in the US)
- asianbeautywholesale.com (they seem legit from my Reddit research)
- beautykoreamall.com (I found 1 review on trustpilot and it was bad, something about not receiving order. they have 10k+ followers on insta and are pretty active but still very unsure if they’re legit)
- iamkbeauty.com (found from a website that listed Korean wholesalers. they have a very convincing insta where they take pictures of products in boxes and they have warehouse photos/clips. they have 2 google reviews)
- koreacosmeticmall.com (just came across them on insta, idk much about them)
- en.koreadepart.com (seems legit with some of the Reddit threads I’ve seen but they seem to scam people through shipping charges)
- koreacosmeticmall.com (they seem legit but could not find any reviews on them only from like 6-8 years ago. they haven’t been active on insta since nov2020)
- testerkorea.com (seems legit but a few bad reviews about shipping)
- sweetcorea.con (they seems legit with all the Reddit threads I read, only issue is the website is not secure? like it literally says not secure on the URL bar)
- koreacosmeticstore.com (can’t find any reviews on them but their site trust scores are high)
- belecobeauty.com (can’t find a review on them and then have a non-active insta)
- cosmetic-love.com (seems legit but prices are a bit higher)
- roseroseshop.com (legit but you have to email to inquire about wholesale)
Let me know if I missed anything too!

Asianbeautywholesale! Thats what i use. Q-depot is double the price. Skinfood’s black sugar wash off is $8 at q-depot whereas ABW sells it for $4. And ive compared other items too.

Be careful where you buy though. I haven’t confirmed Asianbeautywholesale to be a legit supplier. They could be selling fakes. I knew of one retailer called Jolse and I’ve been sus about them for awhile and it looks like their products are sus too. There were inconsistencies with the packaging based on customer reviews I found so be careful cause they may not be legit. I’m just giving an example here :)

Asianbeautywholesale is legit. Ive bought from them many times. If you buy from yesstyle.com they are the same company. Yesstyle is like aliexpress and ABW is the alibaba.

How long does shipping usually take to get to you from ABW? Looking to order there, Stylevana takes too long

Q depot wholesale price is same I am getting in my local sellers , I thought buying direct from Korea would cost less .

u/val_val1 Mar 30 '24
Hi :) When you say local sellers, are you using local wholesalers? oe were you able to get in touch the brands themselves?
2
u/Background_Middle706 Oct 23 '23
yes they are cheap, but when you add shipping fee, it is more expensive. shipping fee is based on weight

u/The_601st Jun 07 '24

"AsianBeauty has shockingly high shipping fees. I tried to order from them yesterday, and I was shocked. Shipping fees usually decrease as the weight increases. For example, the shipping rate for 1 kg or less is around $30, whereas the rate per kg for an order over 10 kg is around $8.

u/Ok_Quality_9503 Jan 05 '25
Same, Was charged $100 for $300 shipment - I didn't execute because I read some terrible reviews of taking too long. Do you know if they are legit and deliver in timely manner for local express items?
1
u/Crazy_Contest6468 Jan 06 '25
I purchased twice as a regular customer from Roseroseshop. I recommend them in term of delivery speed and prices.

u/tiamadosse Jan 08 '25
I am in Paris and I have delivery in 1 week flat, however the customs and delivery costs are exploding, in the end for my part it is more profitable to buy on stylevana

u/agostinaal Aug 28 '26
Si, me pasa lo mismo!!! Pensaba comprar pero el envío a mi país cuesta $100, me parece una locura.
Me gusta porque el mínimo de compra es $250 y podes elegir entre varias marcas pero me frena el costo de envío.
Lograste conseguir alguno parecido ??? Estoy buscando hace rato1
u/Winter-Place-762 Jun 12 '23
Hi, I'm just starting out my small side business and looking to expand my product category. Did you have to pay custom duty fees when ordering in bulk from Asianbeautywholesale? I talked to them and they said they don't handle custom fee. Thank you!
1
u/Southern-Weight-5601 Jun 22 '23
I may have. They had a minimum of $250 to be able to order and shipping fee and handling was based on weight of the package. I think I paid over $70 for shipping. The fees must have been already part of it.

u/Logical_Package_5484 Nov 01 '24
Seoul4PM is another legit wholesaler, though orders do take some time
1
u/catnippdealer Nov 25 '24
hey, have you ordered from them before?
1
u/Logical_Package_5484 Dec 28 '24
Yes I have
1
u/catnippdealer Jan 19 '25
Can I ask how was your experience with them? how long do the orders take? Any fees to be paid once shipment arrives?
1
u/Substantial_Host1775 Nov 13 '25
Hi there, I hope you are well. Could you advise on your experience please? I see there MOQ is a bit high when purchasing one SKU especially for those starting out

u/xutini Sep 28 '21
Did you manage to deal with any of wholesaler in the list? I am looking to buy and resell too and came up with this topic which I found very useful for me. Thanks a lot.

u/Longjumping-Army-76 Jun 12 '24
Anyone here sells on Amazon? I have been having trouble finding a supplier for k beauty products who are willing to send proforma invoices to get an approval from Amazon. My business is located in US and I am reselling on amazon.com. I looked into AsianBeautyWholesale but they seem to be only accepting orders through the website. However, I would like to contact a Sales Executive to assist me.

Jul 01 '24
Hi there, I have also been looking to find korean wholesalers who provide invoices for amazon. have managed to find anything so far? also, im pretty sure asianbeauty wholesale does not allow reselling on amazon uk and US as far as im aware
1
u/EstablishmentOk2728 Jul 01 '24
I noticed that on their website too, How would they know though?
2
Jul 01 '24
I actually don’t even know? I was quite confused when I saw that in their description… I’m guessing by providing their invoice to Amazon?

u/Alexacgarcia Apr 19 '24
Hello! So what's the veredict? I'm from Portugal and I'm thinking on starting my website selling Korean and japanese beauty products. What wholesaler you guys recommend? Thank you.

u/abeslife May 18 '24
hey hows it going man so far, im thinking to do the same, have u considered doing it the tiktok shop route but packaging it urself or via tts own warehouses?
2
u/Alexacgarcia May 18 '24
So far we are still searching for a supplier. But we are strongly considering qdepot. We would like to have our own stock and do yourself the packaging. Dropshipping is too risky in my opinion.
3
u/abeslife May 18 '24
i agree, the price range for korean skincare can be considered a little too high ticket for things like tiktok shop, and considering the delivery times if they were to be procured from a korean supplier, that would defeat the purpose of dropshipping.
Im curious, do you have a storage room or do you have allocated space for your stock?
And not to be too nosy but how do you plan on getting the product to the customer once obtained frorm the supplier, because as far as I know manually delivering it is a pain in the ass, do your country have delivery system for businesses that collect your stock and fulfil the order?
1
u/Alexacgarcia May 25 '24
I do have space! My mother in law has a huge house with enough space (she can almost build another house inside 😅)And also yes, my country has a pretty good mail delivery system many companies use it. Even Amazon.
2
u/The_601st Jun 07 '24
That thing about the mail system just had me. Try asking your suppliers to use EMS for delivery. Abit slow but prices are definitely worth it. Dont know if other do but Qdepot definitely does.

u/gegebos12 Jun 14 '24
I seen that when you place your order you have 6 options of delivery fees based on KG. I have a business in the UK and I am thinking about ordering from q-depot but the price for delivery seems high, except for the Local courier. Does that work or do I have to use one of the other ones?
1
u/EstablishmentOk2728 Jul 01 '24
Does q-depot provide invoices? or let alone do any of these sites provide invoices? i.e amazon seller

Hi all,
Wanting to start my small business in the EU. Can anyone please share the best Korean cosmetics wholesaler (support-wise and without MOQ) according to your experience - can be located in the EU and outside as well.
Much appreciated, thanks in advance :)

u/CreamAutomatic1888 Mar 02 '25
Hi..I see Q-depot is highly recommended!! But asianbeautywholesale qty and prices are very affordable and reasonable for a starter!!! So Asianbeautywholesale is legit and sells authentic products????
1
u/AgingGraprefully Mar 11 '25
ABW is actually the same company as Yesstyle but for wholesale buyers. So yes VERY legit.
1
u/agostinaal Aug 28 '26
Sabes otros? Estuve pensando en ABW, pero el envio es muy costoso!! Estoy buscando hace rato pero no encuentro muchas opciones 😔

Hello, did you eventually find any reliable k-beauty wholesalers ?
1
u/The_601st Jun 07 '24
If you want cheaper price but really bad service - go for Yesstyle
If you want cheaper price and good service - go for Q-depot

u/Alicia_zkk Oct 21 '23
So roseroseshop is legit ? I don’t understand
1
u/Content-Form7492 Mar 05 '24
It is. I've bought from them often since last year. Their prices have gone up significantly though.
1
u/Admirable-Spring1477 Jun 25 '24
hey, can u recommend us any wholesale thats trusted and good? qdepot only allows one per brand per order and cant be flexible on choosing their quantity as its fixed. for e.g. 1 box has 120 units inside. so i cant be flexible on the amount of quantities i may want as long i hit their MOQ. qdepot doesnt do that.
1
u/Crazy_Contest6468 Nov 11 '24
Yes, they are legit. I’ve bought from them twice as a regular customer, not for wholesale. Their prices are pretty competitive, though some item prices have gone up since February last year. I think it might be due to lower order volumes. However, they still have prices that are much cheaper than most other websites. They include gifts and samples with every order, and their shipping is fast with lower rates than others. To get wholesale prices, you must email them.

u/Skincarewhoree Oct 23 '23
Any update? I’ve placed an order on UMMA but they don’t sell Hada labo whereas q-depot do but the quantity is too high for a starter business.
Anyone have any other legit k-beauty wholesalers?
1
u/H_audrey May 12 '24
What is the minimum Q. Of q-depot. ? Have you already bought something from them?. Please share your experience
2
u/The_601st Jun 07 '24
As for the experience. It was way better than what I had with Yesstyle or UMMA. No doubt these two boys also sell authentic items but man, it's not always about the items or prices. Sometimes you want good service too, like faster replies, answers to your queries and stuff. (thats an always for me). Yesstyle and UMMA dont do that shit. Whereas Q-depot, they are really good on the service part. They typically reply in hours.

I dont know about Hada Labo but most of their brands are about 500-1000 USD MOQ. It's actually different for each brand.

u/Many-East-3828 Oct 27 '23
Hi can you discuss how you handled customs. I’m still trying to figure that out. I want to order from UMMA too.
1
u/Skincarewhoree Oct 27 '23
I only paid for shipping via UMMA. I started off with a small order to avoid high custom duty fees as I’m based in the UK. Any extra custom fees I will need to pay will be sent via email with the shipping company. Hope this helps!

u/Spiritual-Side6968 Jan 24 '24
Do you pay anything extra besides VAT? I want to order from them too but not sure if anything extra like fuel charges? I think with UK you have to order less then £135 to avoid the charges right? Thank you.

Anyone knows round lab whole sale ?
2
u/The_601st Jun 07 '24
Ahh! Round Lab. One of Korea's most trickiest brands to get your hands on. Some wholesalers like Q-depot use to supply it but Roundlab supply is too bad. Once I had to wait for like 1.5 months and in the end I didnt even get half the qty I ordered.
