Recommendations shopping/delivering to the hotel

Hi everyone!

I’m planning my first trip to Korea for October 2026 with my boyfriend (so excited!).

I have my eye on a specific item and hoping they release it in a Bordeaux/Wine color for the Autumn collection, but I won’t know for sure until the drop in late September. Beside all the questions recommendations for shops are welcome (cookbooks, food, clothes)!😊

Since we aren't staying in Seoul for very long and I want to prioritize culture and food over shopping streets, I’m considering ordering it to my hotel (voco Seoul Gangnam) so it’s there when I arrive.

I’ve looked into KoreanBuddy, but I’m a bit nervous about the timing and how hotel deliveries work in Korea.

Does anyone have experience with package delivery at voco Seoul Gangnam/other hotels?

Are they helpful with guest parcels?

Since the collection drops only a few weeks before I arrive, is it risky to use a proxy service like KoreanBuddy for a hotel delivery?

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips😊
