Bunjang International Shipping
If you’re a global K-pop merch fan using Bunjang, you’ve likely come across two common international shipping options: K-Packet and Small Packet. While both services are affordable alternatives to EMS, they differ in availability, speed, tracking, and risk.
As a seasoned international seller on platforms like All That Sales, I’ve shipped thousands of items worldwide—mostly photobooks, signed K-pop albums, and photocards—and I’d like to share some key differences to help you choose wisely.
Global Availability
Small Packet: Ships worldwide to almost every country.
K-Packet: Limited to 20 countries including:
🇺🇸 USA, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇯🇵 Japan, 🇦🇺 Australia, 🇳🇿 New Zealand, 🇸🇬 Singapore, 🇻🇳 Vietnam, 🇲🇾 Malaysia, 🇧🇷 Brazil, 🇮🇩 Indonesia, 🇨🇳 China, 🇫🇷 France, 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇹🇼 Taiwan, 🇵🇭 Philippines, 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇹🇭 Thailand, 🇭🇰 Hong Kong.
If your country isn’t listed, you’ll need to use Small Packet or EMS.
Delivery Method & Speed
K-Packet delivers slightly faster on average. It uses non-signature, mailbox-drop delivery to increase the first-time delivery success rate.Small Packet is also dropped in your mailbox, similar to regular airmail—not handed directly to a person, unlike EMS.
While EMS couriers often ring the bell and request a signature, neither K-Packet nor Small Packet does this. So please be aware that your parcel may be left in or near your mailbox.
Cost Comparison (Based on 1.5kg package to the U.S.)
K-Packet saves you about $6 USD while offering similar tracking quality (limited tracking depending on country) and faster delivery than Small Packet.
Risk of Loss & Insurance
Small Packet does not offer tracking in some countries and has no compensation if lost.
K-Packet, while slightly better in speed, also does not include compensation for lost items unless you purchase optional insurance.
In my experience, loss rates are about 1% (1 in 100 shipments), especially with Small Packet. While rare, losses do happen due to mailbox theft or postal handling issues.
Therefore, I strongly advise against using Small Packet for high-value items like signed albums or rare photocards.
Final Recommendation: EMS for Safety
While K-Packet is great for affordable, mid-value items and Small Packet is a budget-friendly option, EMS remains the safest and most reliable method for international shipping from Korea—especially for Bunjang users buying premium or one-of-a-kind goods.
