Aladin US Purchase Guide

About Aladin
Aladin is a Korean retailer that specializes in books & cds/dvds. As such they have a great variety of content from Korean magazines to SHINee concert DVDs~! They do have a small selection of SHINee’s Japanese discography but they’re really expensive. The thing that’s great about Aladin is that as a Korean retailer, your purchases will count toward Korean Hanteo & Gaon charts – but you get the best of both worlds because they have a US branch! So all of your orders over $50 will ship to you for FREE~! You may be wondering why haven’t we talked about this before? Well their interface is all in Korean. But never fear! We’ve got a guide just for you!
1. Make sure you are on the US version of Aladin (click here)!
2. Create an Account (click images for full size)
3. SHOP~!
You may have to look up certain items like magazines by their Korean names. But for the most part, typing in “SHINee” will help you find a lot of albums without much trouble!
4. Reviewing Your Cart
5. Shipping Options
If you need further details on this, Google Translate will get you through a lot of the details of this. But for a basic breakdown, here’s what you’re looking at!
6. Payment
A lot of this stuff was auto filled for me, but if you’re paying by credit card (I personally use Paypal) I would recommend using Google Translate to work through this (just copy + paste the sections you don’t understand). It’s not usually too far off for translating simple things like these forms
7. Confirmation
Congrats! You did it! Your items are on the way!
Thanks so much for this!
Hi, do you think you could tell me where the contact button is on the aladin usa website. I want to talk to them about poster options but idk how //: Thank you !
Hi~! I was told by another fan who regularly uses this service that unfortunately Aladin doesn’t sell posters with their albums.
I wanted to point out to anyone from the Philippines….. I have US address but live in the Philippines. Aladin will not accept a Paypal acc with a Philippine address. I am also having trouble getting my payment through with my credit card. (local master card).
OMG I have been looking for help to order from Aladdin website. I almost gave up until I see your post. You did an amazing work. Thank you so much
is shipping really free? i feel like they’re going to get me with hidden fees
I mean I don’t usually order $50 worth of goods from them, but the last time I did it was free. Unless they’ve changed the policy, it should still be free shipping to anywhere in the US for orders over $50. And there’s no hidden fees? ^^;; If anything, the more you order with them, the more discount credits you get.
