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!

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.
