Korea is one of Asia’s most dynamic e-commerce markets, famous for its mega online sales and promotional events. From 11.11 Singles’ Day to Black Friday, Lunar New Year deals, and brand-specific anniversary sales, these events often offer discounts of up to 70% on K-beauty, fashion, electronics, and lifestyle products.
For Singaporeans, shopping directly during Korean sales seasons can mean huge savings and access to limited editions. The catch? Most Korean sites don’t ship internationally, and some require a local phone number and address to complete purchases.
That’s where Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service steps in. With Buy&Ship, Singapore shoppers can finally take full advantage of Korea’s biggest online events while enjoying affordable, transparent international shipping.
🎉 Why Korean Online Sales Are Worth It
- Massive Discounts – Limited-time offers can slash prices across top categories.
- Exclusive Releases – Special edition cosmetics, fashion collabs, and bundles often launch only during these events.
- Wide Variety – From Musinsa sneakers to Olive Young beauty kits, promotions span every lifestyle category.
- Better Than Local Pricing – Items are often significantly cheaper when bought directly from Korea compared to Singapore reseller markups.

Here are the most popular promo events Singaporeans should know about:
- 11.11 Singles’ Day (November 11) – Korea’s biggest shopping holiday with site-wide discounts.
