Great App for Official Merch! – Weverse Shop Review

Like with any live drops (concert tickets or merch), high volumes of online traffic is to be expected - especially considering the size of BTS’ fan base - so don’t assume there to be smooth operation on the app when merch and such goes live. Other than lagging/glitching when merch goes live - I love this app! Having an option between Global or US (now also Japan!) stores make it a lot more interesting to shop around for items since you have a backup store to fall back on when an item sells out in the other. That being said, you don’t really save a whole lot on shipping costs when buying from the Global over Korean store. I personally tend to default to the Korean store just for this very reason. The items are sometimes significantly cheaper on the Korean shop, such that even with double the cost in shipping, you’d still end up saving if you buy direct from Korea. High shipping costs is not new to any kpop merch buyer, so don’t expect that much of a difference here - but do expect a much smoother buying experience and confidence with payment transactions! Their customer service on the app is fairly quick and easy to communicate with and to be honest their shipping is fairly quick for overseas. I’ve never had a package take longer than a week and a half to arrive from Korea to California - and Weverse defaults to DHL for delivery service, which is a much more organized and worry-free delivery service than Fedex or UPS in my opinion. Overall, it’s great! Would love to see some restock of some of their older items, but the selection they have is still decent.
