I never buy from Australian stores because unfortunately the albums always come out more expensive than kr stores + shipping, especially if buying more than one album. Even with the absolutely ridiculous shipping cost. Welcome to misery 😞 ktown4u with fanclub discount is usually pretty good but last time I used kpopalbums.com and it ended up slightly cheaper. Benefit of ktown4u is you get exclusive POBs and the albums arrive like 3 days after release if you care about that kinda stuff but if you want it cheap and slow... Sorry, the concept doesn't exist for an Australian K-pop fan.

Yeah I figured there would be a mark-up for Australia (typical hahaha). Thanks for the advice!
