How much is shipping fee and free shipping thresholds?

Free shipping thresholds vary by country and are displayed at the top of each country-specific site. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout once you enter your address (country).
Current thresholds include $50 for the US, £30 for the UK, C$80 for Canada, A$70 for Australia, and ₱2,900 for the Philippines.
Do I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?
For orders shipped internationally from South Korea, customs duty and tax handling depends on the destination country's DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) policy — some countries may have duties and taxes prepaid at checkout, while others require the recipient to pay them upon delivery. This may vary by country and is subject to change without notice.
Where duties or taxes are not prepaid, the recipient is the importer of record and is responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or clearance fees charged by the destination country. COSRX has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount — please check with your local customs office if you have questions.
Customs clearance may also cause delivery delays beyond our original estimate.
What is return policy?
COSRX can only accept returns for items purchased through www.cosrx.com. If you bought our products from a third-party retailer, please contact the retailer or store directly.
Items must be returned unopened and unused, in their original packaging, within 30 days of the delivery date. Refunds are issued to your original payment method. Original shipping charges and taxes are non-refundable, and some sale items may not be eligible for return.
Return shipping costs:
- Change of mind (customer's own reason): the customer covers 100% of return shipping.
- US/UK orders: round-trip shipping fee based on the original checkout rate.
- Orders shipped from Korea (all other regions): a flat $30 outbound fee plus return shipping cost. - Seller-caused issues (defective or wrong item): COSRX covers 100% of shipping costs.
Shipping to the EU? You have a 14-day right of withdrawal — you may return your order for any reason, with no restocking fee, and receive a full refund including original shipping. Return shipping cost is still the customer's responsibility unless the item is defective.
Refunds are typically processed within 7–10 business days of the return arriving at our distribution center. Before shipping a return, please contact us at global@cosrx.co.kr.
