The best part of TheArrivalStore.com was its Order Now Pay Later Feature. This is a great idea and a very practical service considering a majority of teachers heading to Korea are young, unestablished, college grads.

Korea, in all its beauty, is a foreign place that breathes culture and newness in every aspect. For the most part, this is great, but when it comes to the details (like bedsheets, cell phones, coffee presses, etc.) there are some familiar things that need to be present to make it feel more like home. TheArrivalStore is the best mediator for your needs. They really work to provide the most necessary products in an easy and timely manner from your first day here to your last! If you don't dip into their services, I can guarantee you will be left wishing you did!

So many people here have already wondered how we got cell phones so quickly, and I explained it was all through you guys! The ease of the process and the easy communication with everyone was amazing! Everone has been so helpful, gracious, and understanding.MEMBER - Kate Symank
TheArrivalStore.com services were great for unforeseen purchases I had to make and wanted to have immediately. My purchases came in the mail two days later.

TheArrivalStore.com is a friend to all current and prospective teachers living in Korea. They offer the essentials for surviving your first few months abroad and give you easy, convenient access to the comforts of home through the duration of your stay. Painless ordering and quick delivery are awesome. TheArrivalStore.com does all the hard work for you, saving you the time and frustration of trying to find these products elsewhere. I've been completely satisfied with all of the products that I have purchased and I'm always excited about the new products they are constantly bringing in. Their services defintiely help teachers living abroad navigate their transition and their life in a new culture.

My best experience was the sheer convenience of how smoothly everything went. Being able to order everything online and have it there by the time I arrived was great. TheArrivalStore.com offers a great service and does it well!

Speedy service - my items were delivered promptly and I was able to start using them right away. It was especially great having my phone all ready to go when I was picked up at the airport, and even though I ordered my other items at the last minute (the night before leaving home), I still got them within a day after arriving in Korea.
Having things waiting for you when you arrive in Korea rather than having to go out and shop for them gets rid of a lot of unnecessary stress and can make your new home feel much more welcoming and comfortable.

What other expats are saying
-
The Arrival Store were such a great help even before I had left the UK!
They sorted out a phone at the airport, the important supplies I'd need to set up and offered friendly advice throughout.
When I wanted an iPhone, they went out of their way to sort this and I can't thank them enough.
When you're far from home, sometimes a friendly gesture is all you need.
Thanks (Especially to Nate and Kaye Kim)

TAS was extremely helpful and everyone I was in contact with provided great information on not only their items but general life in Korea. It was a relief knowing I would have adapters I couldn't find in the United States waiting for me when I arrived. My TAS Rep bent over backwards to help me by putting a rush on my order because of my quick and sudden departure. I highly recommend this site to anyone moving to Korea.
-
TAS made me feel like someone had my back before I even got on the plane. Ordering online and having the products delivered to my school (since I didn't know my residence until I got to the city) made things easy; and the return policy was great. It's tough trying to guess what you might need in a new culture. The piece of mind that came with knowing I was going to have supplies waiting for me made a big difference.
-
It was great, but if I had been informed of it before my departure, it would have been even better.
-
Great prices. Fast deliveries.
-
TAS was a lifesaver because with my current school situation I don't really have a co-teacher to help me with everything and TAS made it so easy to get a phone and internet. Also when I had a question about upgrading my internet you guys responded so quickly and even offered to translate if needed. You guys are the greatest and I will be recommending this site to all new expats in Korea :)
-
My TAS Rep was extremely helpful and was able to work out a delivery method that met my needs. Quick, efficient service & I'll be using them again!
-
i found the prices to be pretty expensive. as a positive: i'm not a big fan of monkeys or ducks covering my stuff...so...you all have nicer things. thanks for that.
-
The foam mattress pad I ordered was delivered quickly and is quite comfortable. My only improvement to the experience would be if the delivery guy could have called the number of my Korean colleague that I provided. Instead, he called me, and I had a difficult time answering!
-
The smell of the (memory foam) mattress is really bad in the beginning and fades quite slowly so if there is anything you can do it would be a good idea. Otherwise: thanks for the quick delivery!
