I ordered an item from this website that they did not deliver. I tried multiple times to contact them for an update, and was thoroughly ignored.

Do not recommend. It’s been two months since I’ve ordered 3 different boxes. Close to $150 worth of product and they just keep offering excuse after excuse, no real resolution. I am now working with m... See more

I love the boxes I am getting from inspiremekorea. I've received the culturebox a few times and recently switched to the BTS box to try it out. I'm really enjoying the variety of items they include! From cute pictures of BTS to gorgeous photos of skylines from around South Korea and snacks like sweet potato fries and moon cakes! Everything is really well thought out and packaged. The customer service is lovely as well, very responsive and caring!

Another great month.

Amazing box this month. It was packed full! My favourite item was the cookbook as it is definitely going to get a lot of use.

Great pictures and some items.

I love the pictures in these boxes, some were the same in the two I've gotten so far, but thats not necessarily bad. It was of my favorite bias anyways. It also included two masks which are super helpful during these times. And the snacks are nice too

🤬👎This company is ridiculous👎🤬

This company is ridiculous. I order my items May 9 and it’s now June 28 and I still haven’t gotten anything. They told me since they actually didn’t send out till May 27 that it would be 14+ Days to get it. I tried to get a refund and they said since they sent that out that they can’t give me a refund . It’s been two months since they took money out my account on May 9 but I can’t even get my items that I paid for . I have email them 3 times and all they keep telling me is wait . It’s almost two months and I HAVE BEEN WAITING! I live in America , California. If you guys don’t mind waiting, then order from them but I don’t recommend. Cause no one was contacted me about my stuff cause they don’t even know !!

Nice

The shipping was really fast. Of course there was a tiny delay with the post office due to Covid-19, but I still got my 2 boxes at the same time and I loved them.

I really like the boxes as well.
Thank you

It's not that I didn't like the content... Its that until now,it was so wholesome and in this box I got a few bts pictures and a weird flower and some noodles. I don't see the connection of its a kpop box to have just photos of the idols - not very good quality photos. Still supporting tho.

I love it ~!

Love the design of the Inspire me Korea boxes.
I thought the boxes would be a little bigger, but I loved it either way.
The one snack I got, unfortunately I didn’t like but it’s interesting trying new things but I atleast have two veggie ramyun noodles to add to my noodle collection .. haha ~
The photocards I got with this months BTS box had good quality ☺️

The same exact stuff

My two BTS boxes had almost identical stuff in them. I got a few different hugs, but even the box art was the same. The quality of the items are great, but there were many of the same exact stuff in the boxes.

Box full of joy

I only can say good things about Inspire me Korea. I always enjoy my suscription and orders from the shop. You can see that the boxes have been prepared carefully and with love, so I really love it when they arrive and everything in them. I am learning korean and specially through the quarantine, it has been so uplifting to go over all the different material I had from the boxes. And I appreciate all the hard work to provide us with extra material and online content. I had so much fun and made everything better. I would definitely recommend it :)

Received exact same items

I had a subscription to just the basic Inspire Me Korea box, however when I saw they were doing ones of BTS I had to join that one. Big, bad mistake. I received my box yesterday and it had the EXACT same items, same pictures of BTS members. I am very disappointed and will be unsubscribing immediately. I am upset for two months I paid but got the exact same items. I do NOT recommend this subscription who are hoping for lots of BTS related items unless you like duplicates.

Haven't received it yet

Haven't received it yet, been 3 weeks but I keep getting reminded to review so here it is. Very annoying. At least wait until you get a delivery notification, then allow a couple days to open and use...send review email at this time.
