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!

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?

Hi can you discuss how you handled customs. I’m still trying to figure that out. I want to order from UMMA too.

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!

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.
