Aladin (알라딘) is a Korean institution for book lovers, known both for its huge new-book catalogue and one of the country's best used-book marketplaces (중고샵). It's also a strong platform for K-pop album drops, with its own exclusive photocard versions and pre-order benefits. If you've spotted a used copy or an Aladin-exclusive album online, the catalogue is worth the effort.
The problem is Aladin's checkout only accepts Korean domestic payment methods, and its used-book marketplace requires a verified Korean member account just to see full listing details. Order in Korea buys on your behalf using a verified local account and has the order delivered straight to your Korean address, whether that's a share house, officetel or dormitory.
Why ordering from Aladin is hard for foreigners
Checkout only takes Korean payment methods
Aladin's checkout accepts Korean bank cards, virtual accounts and Korean mobile pay only, so a foreign-issued card alone won't get you through checkout.
Used-book listings are locked behind membership
Aladin's used-book marketplace (중고샵) requires a verified Korean member account to see full seller details and buy, which shuts out anyone without a local account.
Exclusive album editions and photocard lotteries move fast
Aladin-exclusive photocard versions and limited album editions can sell out within hours of release, with no restock once they're gone.
How Order in Korea solves it
We check out with a verified account
You pay us by PayPal in your own currency; we buy on Aladin, new or used listings alike, using a verified Korean account, so the payment and membership gates never apply to you.
We can access the used-book marketplace for you
Send us the listing link from Aladin's used-book section and we confirm the condition and details in Korean before purchasing, opening up a part of the site you couldn't otherwise browse.
We act fast on drops and handle the courier
Share the product link as soon as an exclusive edition is announced so we can buy the moment it's live, and when it ships we take the courier's call in Korean and arrange delivery.

Aladin — frequently asked questions
Can I buy from Aladin's used-book marketplace without a Korean account?
Yes. Send us the listing link from Aladin's used-book section (중고샵) along with any condition or seller details you can see, and we purchase it using our verified Korean account. You don't need to register for Aladin membership yourself.
What does it cost to order through Order in Korea?
We charge 10% of the item's Korean won price, with a $5 minimum fee and a $20 minimum order total. Most of that fee covers PayPal processing and currency conversion rather than profit — our actual margin is roughly 2–4%. You'll see the full breakdown before paying.
Where can Aladin orders be delivered?
Any valid Korean address: your apartment, officetel, university dormitory, workplace, or a hotel or Airbnb you're staying at. Aladin's own courier delivers directly, just as it would for a Korean customer.
Can you check the condition of a used book before I buy it?
Yes. Tell us which listing you're considering and we'll check the condition notes, edition and any seller remarks in Korean before confirming the purchase, so you know what you're getting.
