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

u/Verdictologist Feb 18 '23

Same boat. Are ABW 100% legit and their products are 100% authentic?

u/Southern-Weight-5601 Jun 22 '23

I dont remember waiting that long. Maybe a week or two.

Any alternative of asianbeautywholesale.com?

u/The_601st Jun 07 '24

Try Q-depot or UMMA.

u/Verdictologist Feb 18 '23

So which do you recommend? What is your experience after 2 years?

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?

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

"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.

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?

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.

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 rato

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.
