Can I buy from Market Kurly internationally?
Market Kurly (마켓컬리) is a Korea-only grocery service built around dawn delivery, so it ships to Korean addresses only and needs a Korean phone number to sign up. Its fresh, refrigerated and frozen food can't be shipped abroad by a proxy — but its shelf-stable packaged goods (Korean snacks, sauces and pastes, dried foods, teas, coffee and health items) can. For those, a proxy buying service like KOSURAN purchases on Kurly and ships them to you.
Why Market Kurly is hard for overseas buyers
- Domestic-only. Dawn delivery (샛별배송) and same-day delivery are inherently domestic; Kurly ships to Korean addresses only.
- Account: signup requires Korean phone verification — no Korean mobile number, no account.
- Payment: overseas-issued cards commonly error at checkout.
- Language: the site and app are Korean-only.
What can and can't be shipped abroad
- Can't be shipped: fresh, refrigerated and frozen items — the cold-chain core of Kurly (produce, meat, dairy, chilled banchan, frozen meals). These can't be exported through an international proxy.
- Can be shipped: shelf-stable, room-temperature packaged goods — Korean snacks, sauces and pastes, dried and instant foods, teas and coffee, packaged health foods, and non-food lifestyle and beauty items.
Kurly does run a separate US site (Kurly USA) that air-ships a small curated selection of frozen, pantry and beauty items to the United States — but it's a narrow slice of the catalog. For shelf-stable items outside that subset, a proxy buys them from the Korean site.
The reliable route: proxy buying
- Find your item — either in KOSURAN's catalog (browse Snacks & Tea) or on the Kurly page itself.
- Order it — add a catalog item to your cart, or paste the Kurly product URL into Request an item. Pick shelf-stable, room-temperature goods — we can't ship chilled or frozen.
- We handle the Korean side — purchase on Kurly with Korean payment, receive at our Seoul hub, check the packaging, and consolidate with anything else you ordered.
- One parcel to your door — checked at our Seoul hub (sealed items stay sealed), then shipped by tracked express (UPS/DHL) that reaches most destinations in about 2 business days once it leaves Korea. US customs is prepaid at checkout — no surprise fee on arrival.
Why overseas buyers trust KOSURAN with a Kurly order
- Track every step. Your order timeline shows each item move through purchase, Seoul-hub check, consolidation, customs, and dispatch — no black box after you pay.
- Wrong or damaged? We make it right. Store credit back immediately (no return shipping needed), or a refund to your original payment method — and if we sent the wrong item, we cover the return.
- Real support within 24 hours (99% of the time), in English.
- Fast, tracked delivery — about 2 business days from our Seoul hub to your door by express courier (UPS/DHL), not weeks by sea.
What it costs
The item price is the store's own price converted to USD — no markup. You add a small flat per-store service fee, the seller's Korea-side shipping at cost, and weight-based international shipping (a refundable deposit at checkout). Full breakdown on How it works.
Tips for Kurly orders
- Stick to shelf-stable. Confirm the item is room-temperature; we can't ship chilled or frozen food.
- Mind the weight. Sauces, drinks and jarred foods are heavy — a factor in international shipping, so consolidate thoughtfully.
- Check your country's food-import rules. Some countries restrict certain food or agricultural items on arrival; it's worth confirming before you order.
Common questions
Does Market Kurly ship internationally?
No — Kurly is domestic-only, with Korean-phone signup and dawn delivery to Korean addresses. A buying service can purchase shelf-stable packaged items and ship them to you, but fresh, refrigerated and frozen food can't be exported.
Can I get Kurly's fresh or frozen food overseas?
No — refrigerated and frozen items can't be shipped internationally through a proxy. Shelf-stable packaged foods, snacks, sauces, teas and health goods can.
What about Kurly USA?
Kurly runs a separate US site that air-ships a small curated selection of frozen, pantry and beauty items to the United States — it's not the full catalog. For shelf-stable items outside that subset, a proxy buys them from the Korean site.
Do you open food to inspect it?
No — our hub check is a packaging and exterior check; sealed food stays sealed. We confirm the right item arrived undamaged before consolidating.
How fast is delivery from Korea?
Once your consolidated parcel leaves our Seoul hub, express courier (UPS/DHL) reaches most destinations in about 2 business days. Every step is visible in your order timeline.
