AFFORDABLE KBEAUTY ON ALTHEA
At Althea Korea, it is important to us that you are 100% happy with your purchase. Our Best Price Guarantee policy means you always get the best price. We often get asked: "Why are your products so affordable? or cheap? Do you sell authentic products? Are those expiring soon?".
Althea is your gateway to Korean beauty, and as the world's first hybrid CBT (Cross-Border-Trading) system, Althea is the first e-commerce company to have sourcing capabilities based in Korea. This means that we eliminate middlemen and pass the savings back to our customers!
From Korea to You
How It Works
Best Price GuaranteeAs the world's first hybrid CBT (Cross-Border-Trading) system, we work directly with brands and ship to your doorstep. That is how we can provide incomparable prices to our customers around the globe!
We take great care to ensure our prices are competitive. Our Best Price Guarantee Policy is simple: we regularly check what is happening in the market to offer you the lowest price possible. However, if you happen to find a lower price (not promotional/sale price) from official retailers within 24 hours of your purchase, Althea will match the lower price and credit you the difference back! Terms and conditions apply. Our help team will verify if it's legit!
⛔ HOW TO REPORT LOWER PRICE
1. Make a purchase
2. Should you find a lower price after your purchase within 24 hours, report the lower price (with link & screenshot) to help@althea.kr
3. Althea will verify it
4. Price match!
Flat Rate Shipping with min purchase
Authenticity Guarantee
Shipped direct from Korea, we have managed to keep our prices and shipping low while subsidizing free shipping for many years until now. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, we had to introduce a flat-rate shipping plan to cope with the rising costs of international shipping from Korea.
