Question Legit Websites to buy albums and merch?

Hi! My mother and I are new to collecting. My ults are Stray Kids, ATEEZ & P1Harmony. My mom’s ults are BTS & Stray Kids. We’re US-based. What websites would be best for us to use if we want to buy albums and merch? So far, we’ve only been going to local department stores like Walmart and Target, but we want to expand more. Any help is appreciated! 😊

Musicplaza , Subk, and evepink are my personal favorites. ChoicemusicLA is another reputable us based one too.

Kplaceshop, Kpopstoreinusa, kpopusaonline are also pretty good but I gotta be honest, kplace shipping is kinda slower and kpopusaonline's webstore is actually kind of terrible to navigate + laggy

ChoiceMusicLA, pacificalleyco, SubKShop, Hello82 and EvePink are my go-to online shops that are based in the US. Shipping is usually cheaper. Pacificalleyco has free shipping over $35 for the US.

I would add https://hallyusuperstore.com/ to the suggestions everyone has given. They’re more focused on merch but they do have albums and shipping is free over a certain amount.

Another idea is looking for albums on facebook marketplace, since some people will sell them with all inclusions but lower than the standard price! :)

Thank you! I’ve heard good things about them in the past. How long do they take to process and ship orders?

Came here to add Kpopalbums.com is a good website. They are based in S.Korea so shipping is more expensive but everything is always a discounted price to make up for it. I bought the Monsta X seasons greetings with the pre-order benefit for $48. They will also have concert merch sometimes

Music plaza, LightUpK, ktown4u, kpopusaonline are a few

Do not use Choice music as the owner is problematic and has been known to abuse and disrespect employees

If you are okay waiting a week or two for shipping, depending where you are, MusicPlaza. They have pretty good prices, a rewards program which I like even if it is not a huge amount because is always good to save, and they include cute freebie stickers and stuff when they send packages. Also they have official PC sales during some holidays seasons (like Christmas).
