i recommend kpopusa as well!! they’re located in las vegas and their prices are pretty cheap but rn they’re just having a tough time shipping orders since their employees are low from covid </3

An important thing to note is it’s important to do your own research depending on what album you get. For example one comeback could mean the choice music album is cheapest then then next one Amazon is the cheapest. It really is case by case so don’t assume ALL comebacks will be the cheapest from using a certain store!

evepink's preorder cards are actually other stores preorder cards. i got my ateez albums & they had apple music pre order benefits.

Evepink ships really quick! I like supporting them because they’re a small business. Choicemusic is really disrespectful to idols so id rather throw a few more dollars to a good company.

Note for Canadian kpop fans: even though we're really close to the US, the US kpop stores are EXTRAORDINARILY expensive to buy from here. Legit would have cost me over $100 CAD to get a single dreamcatcher album

I’ve bought from all of the places in the video but here are some more stores I’ve purchased from just as options:
Kpopusaonline
Kpopmusictownla
Kpopstoreinusa
Barnes and Noble (this one I’ve only purchased in store but they do sell albums online).

Kind of shocked that EvePink was mentioned in this video, hahaha! They’re my local store and I personally buy from them because they’re reasonably priced and the staff is so kind.
My older sister has a friend with a daughter who likes kpop, so I was able to lend my ✨ expertise ✨ and help her get the albums for the girl’s birthday much cheaper than Amazon prices, so yay! My Kpop knowledge was helpful. 😂💕

just a heads up for people preodering albums from us shops, they usually have to get the albums shipped from Korea to their store and then ship to you so it will take like 10 days-ish after it's realeased to get to you! Ordering from Korean sites is usually quicker

I live in NYC and there's two kpop stores in Manhattan, Mandu Apparel and Koryo Books. Mandu is very small and doesn't have a lot of variety but they're pretty cheap and usually give you freebies, on the other hand, Koryo Books has a lot of albums, old and new, but they're usually VERY expensive. Also Mandu has an online store, Koryo doesn't.

Kpopusa is the cheapest us store that I’ve bought from, even then I only buy from there if aladin doesn’t have the album I wanted given that their dhl shipping is MUCH cheaper than Ktown4u and the price per album is overall cheaper than purchasing from us stores. Target’s buy 2 get 1 sale is the only reason I buy from there as the albums end up being super cheap but the limited selection makes it difficult to decide what albums are worth it. If I do end up moving to SoCal I’d love to have the experience of purchasing albums in person with the 500 stores that are in la

0:24 Laboum, FANATICS, APRIL, S.I.S, HONEY POPCORN and it's all in one place? Is this heaven??

[andyvu]

Buying albums from Korea like ktown4u is only really worth it if you buy in bulk. Last time, i bought 8 albums and it rounded off at about 18-20$ per album. Since i live in Canada tho, with the conversion it a little more.

Im not from the us but i love watching these to see the price difference and how much more kpop stores there are in the us compared to the uk ❤️ i wish there was more in the uk

I mainly use Evepink. Maybe it's because I'm also in TX but I've been getting my orders within 3 days (4 or 5 if I ordered on a weekend).

[waitit]

I've bought from Fye @ the mall, it's hit or miss

[melontrades]

I ordered from evepink and I was definitely surprised at how quick my albums were shipped out! It was within 24 hours of my purchase

[DeathMetalJohnny]

I'm a regular to the physical store for eve pink. .very friendly people and the owner she is an amazing person..she knows her customers 💜

[mishapsmakemagic]

If anyone is located in Southern California, the cheapest store I’ve ever found is called K Place in Buena Park. I compared an album between there, K-Pop music town at the same mall, music plaza and choice and k-place was the cheapest one! This is all in person though, but just thought I’d throw that out there!

[dallonweekesmakesmedallonw]

honestly, i used to order from choice music la & have been in store visiting California but my problem with them is the fact they take super long to ship out albums AND their staff’s attitudes. they honestly handle things super unprofessionally, shaming people for asking about their albums or whatever & being super passive aggressive towards people or blocking people. they also literally take WEEKS to ship things out and aren’t very good at communicating about it.

[GabrielaDiazzzz]

Yess I really like this video. I went to Eve Pink in Houston and tbh, I really liked the store, they have a lot of albums and they are really friendly!, also I like the events that they do🥰

Great video Carolyn!
