KOREALY‑Dropship Korean Items

June 28, 2025

There are two issues which make Korealy an impossible primary dropship supplier, and one that makes them a good supplier to fill in a few products. 1. The prices are extremely high. My price on Koreal is usually 4x higher than wholesalers like ABW, and about the same as the price from Amazon or other retailers, including Shopify Dropshippers. In other words, I can't mark products up at all, or I can't compete and sell. No profit margin. Zero. I've added 1600 products from Korealy, and I can't sell anything because the prices are too high. I've had zero sales, even with a Google Ads campaign. 2. Shipping is entirely too long and too expensive. Considering that I can't mark up prices at all, and I still have to add shipping (compared to free shipping from other dropshippers or Amazon) to cover the cost of shipping from Korealy, my products end up prohibitively more expensive that everyone else. Then, shipping takes a couple of weeks. I've ordered several products myself, to test shipping times. Two weeks plus, each time. I can't compete with next day and two day shippers like that. 3. The only positives I can give Korealy are the sheer quantity of products, and the good descrptions and photos. It would be a good site to use to fill in a few products you cabnt get elsewhere, but it's a terrible site to try to use as a main supplier.

It's easy to use, but it has issues. 1) The prices are a bit high so it's a little challenging to compete. I just add a few products to my store because I really love them. 2) Items don't import with UPC codes and Korealy is NO help with this. It's almost as if they didn't understand what I was asking for - they told me to go out and buy them lol. Some of bar codes for pdocuts are easily found with a barcode lookup but there are a LOT of products, or variations of products, that are impossible to find the UPC/EAN/GTIN codes for even with in-depth searching. Google Merchant will not accept the listing without one, which means you don't really stand a chance of your listing being seen. Thankfully K-Beauty isn't my only focus, but I had hoped to offer more than I can with Korealy.
