Country Information
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea as its more commonly known in the West is one of the most fascinating countries we offer parcel delivery to, purely because of their self-imposed isolation from the west of the world. Of course this situation arose out of the Second World War where the northern half was controlled by the Soviet Union and the southern by the United States.
The country has a highly centralised command economy where the central government establishes what is to be purchased and sold at what price. Interestingly North Korea has significant deposits of minerals and fossil fuels which it could exploit on the international market, but has chosen to restrict access, although international trade does exist, with 70 per cent being with China.
Customs Information
As international trade with North Korea from the UK is limited, they have little need for a website detailing customs restrictions. We can point you to the North Korea profile on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website and the UK in DPRK website and telephone number (0) 2 382 7980.
Instructions are really easy to follow. No faffing about!
Good service and easy to use the website, but be warned if you dont give accurate measurements for your item they will charge your card afterwards-my item was 200g over and I was charged a full kilo extra so just be aware of this.
Very easy to use and parcel arrived on time. Will definitely use again.
More and more I had labels not clear, my postage happens on Fridays 5 pm and I end up having to wait til Monday, missing my Etsy cut off for my orders tracking notes. This error message started causing me to lose credibility points with my customers and Etsy score. The time I post, is due to a series of factors and I do not see why its so hard to have labels instantly or reply until 8pm if the MonkeyParcel service is open until 8pm. When I asked what I can do different to avoid the labels not generating, I get no reply. I mainly used UPS via Parcel monkey, my impression in the past was that they have a solid reliability. This week i spent 3 days waiting in from 8-6 for UPS to come and collect a parcel to was too large to drop off with my usual shop, according to them. Not showing up, giving me full day pick up windows, in this day and age of tech and precision it’s just not ok. I now booked RM via a different broker and they gave me the morning off from window staring, having a 4 hour afternoon slot, which is great because, I am in desperate need to get to the supermarket after being stuck at home for all those days. I think my case is made that my loyalty has run thin and I am changing providers.
