PRODUCTS
Are your K-Pop products originally from South Korea?
Yes, we only sell official goods in our online store .
My desired product is sold out. What can I do?
We keep ordering different albums. This means we have short periods when products are sold out.
It's best to enter your email address for the missing product and you will automatically receive a message as soon as it is available again. Many albums or versions are very popular and sell out quickly, so hurry up to order before you miss your chance.
Some products will not be produced in Korea for a long time. This often affects merchandise, such as lightsticks or certain albums. We cannot guarantee whether and when we will receive the items again.
Can I have products reserved?
No, unfortunately this is not possible in the J-Store Online.
Can I request products from you that you don't have in the J-Store Online?
Sure, sometimes it works. Just write us an email and we'll see what we can do.
Can I exchange or return my Weverse Album / Platform Album?
No, Weverse albums and Platform albums cannot be exchanged or returned.
PRE-ORDER
What is special about a K-Pop pre-order?
We offer pre-orders for announced products that have not yet been released in Korea. Pre-orders usually come with an extra pre-order gift in the form of a photo card or poster.
There was no pre-order gift with my product. Why?
Not all products have an extra pre-order gift. Please read the item description to see if something has been announced for your pre-order. For many products, the benefits are only available for the first edition or only while stocks last.
My J-Store order has not yet been shipped.
Does your order contain a pre-order? Then it may be that it has not yet been published or that it is currently on its way to us.
We can only ship orders with a pre-order once all of the goods have arrived in Hamburg. Please check the product descriptions or look under current news after.
Orders with a pre-order and available products are shipped together.
I have ordered items that are still available for a pre-order order. Can I receive the other items sooner?
We will only ship the order when all items are available. To avoid such situations, we recommend always ordering a pre-order separately from available items.
Something is missing from my album/product. What now?
Unfortunately, we have no influence on the contents of the products and can only check their completeness to the extent that the protective packaging allows.
Photocards and stickers are usually hidden between the pages of the photobooks that we cannot see. Look there directly. If something is still missing, we assume there is a production error in Korea.
Please provide us with an unboxing video by opening the album seal and unpacking the contents. If it is clear that something is missing, please write to us. We'll definitely find a common solution.
We do not send missing parts of the albums/photobooks as individual parts are often not in stock. Please note: As soon as you remove the protective film, your right of withdrawal expires and we will not exchange the product. You can find detailed information about this in our General Terms and Conditions .
I received different items than what I ordered.
We pack all orders by hand and do our best to process everything correctly. But unfortunately we cannot completely rule out errors.
Please remove the protective film not and contact us immediately by email (home@j-store-online.de). Tell us your order number in the email and add a picture of the incorrect delivery.
