Just putting this out there because I know a lot of us are tired of the hassle. I used to buy Korean skincare from YesStyle and Stylevana — but between the crazy delays, surprise customs charges, and damaged packages, it was becoming more stress than it was worth.
I found this site recently called MercelBay.com — they’re based in Boston (USA) and Cornwall (Canada), so shipping is local for both countries. That means:
- ✅ No extra duties
- ✅ No surprise tariffs
- ✅ Much faster shipping
They stock legit Korean brands like: COSRX, ANUA , SKIN1004, Medicube , Bonajour etc
- Rx JNN EGF Peptide – Made in Korea, and honestly a solid dupe for Bioeffect EGF (but way more affordable).
- Clenerionio Bakuchiol Cream – A gentler alternative to retinol that's actually popular in Korea, especially for people with sensitive skin or those who can’t handle harsh actives.
I’ve ordered from them twice now and had zero issues. If you're restocking SPF or doing a summer skincare refresh, this might save you some money and frustration.
Hope this helps someone out there!
