KOREALY‑Dropship Korean Items

There are two issues which make Korealy an impossible primary dropship supplier, and one that makes them a good supplier to fill in a few products.

1. The prices are extremely high. My price on Koreal is usually 4x higher than wholesalers like ABW, and about the same as the price from Amazon or other retailers, including Shopify Dropshippers. In other words, I can't mark products up at all, or I can't compete and sell. No profit margin. Zero. I've added 1600 products from Korealy, and I can't sell anything because the prices are too high. I've had zero sales, even with a Google Ads campaign.

2. Shipping is entirely too long and too expensive. Considering that I can't mark up prices at all, and I still have to add shipping (compared to free shipping from other dropshippers or Amazon) to cover the cost of shipping from Korealy, my products end up prohibitively more expensive that everyone else. Then, shipping takes a couple of weeks. I've ordered several products myself, to test shipping times. Two weeks plus, each time. I can't compete with next day and two day shippers like that.

3. The only positives I can give Korealy are the sheer quantity of products, and the good descrptions and photos. It would be a good site to use to fill in a few products you cabnt get elsewhere, but it's a terrible site to try to use as a main supplier.

I downloaded the app because I wanted to dropship Korean beauty products. But when trying to create a shipping profile in Shopify, the app does not show up as an option to select. I will have to delete this app.

I've been facing ongoing stock synchronization issues between my Shopify store and the Korealy app, which have led to frequent discrepancies in product availability. This is causing frustration for both my team and customers. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, including removing a potentially conflicting app and re-importing products, the root cause remains unidentified, leading to significant operational challenges and potential loss of sales.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this app? I’m asking the team for immediate assistance in resolving this matter, as it’s affecting my ability to efficiently run my store.

Updated Review (June 2025):

Following up on my earlier review from January: unfortunately, the stock sync issue between my Shopify store and the Korealy app still hasn’t been resolved after more than six months.

Despite multiple attempts to work with their team Korealy has now said they will no longer investigate the issue, as it “only affects my store.” Their suggested workaround is to manually inform customers when items are out of stock, which isn’t feasible at scale.

I was also asked to remove my negative review, but I don’t feel that’s appropriate while the core issue remains unresolved. If a fix is eventually implemented, I’ll be happy to update or remove this review.

For now, I hope this helps other store owners make an informed decision.

I’ve been using KOREALY for a while now, and it’s honestly been a fantastic experience. The app is beautifully designed, smooth to navigate, and delivers exactly what it promises. Everything feels well thought-out and user-friendly, making it easy to dive in and start using right away.

What stands out the most is how reliable and consistent it is — no glitches, no confusion, just a clean, straightforward interface that makes using the app enjoyable. It’s clear a lot of care went into the design and functionality.

If you’re considering trying out KOREALY, I highly recommend it. It’s definitely earned a permanent spot on my home screen!

It's easy to use, but it has issues.

1) The prices are a bit high so it's a little challenging to compete. I just add a few products to my store because I really love them.

2) Items don't import with UPC codes and Korealy is NO help with this. It's almost as if they didn't understand what I was asking for - they told me to go out and buy them lol.

Some of bar codes for pdocuts are easily found with a barcode lookup but there are a LOT of products, or variations of products, that are impossible to find the UPC/EAN/GTIN codes for even with in-depth searching. Google Merchant will not accept the listing without one, which means you don't really stand a chance of your listing being seen.

Thankfully K-Beauty isn't my only focus, but I had hoped to offer more than I can with Korealy.
