For me, I am usually, puchase korean goods through korean websites, such as gmarket(I think, the qulality is not good but cheap) and other shopping malls. apparels, and stationaries, bags, shoes, and DVD.

I ask buying service to online shopping agent(Korean online buying service-Pinkbox), but, sometimes, ask shipping service only.

Buying service is that I send the quotation request with my goods link and payment, waiting for goods. but, shipping service, I make order to online shopping website by my self with google translate program(haha, that's not so good,but enough to order)and let them know korean agent delivery address, korean agent will give me total weight and invoice, that's finish.

Shipping service is good and cheaper than buying service, but, much have to do for me, loosing time for checking the message from sender, sometimes no stocks, and more , the qulities(color, defects)can be happened, or scammed.but, Buying service, korean buying agent will check the qulity and thier shopping sites, so , nothing to worry, just waiting enough.

I recommend online shopping agents in Korea, one is www.watertonkorea.com/WTKBUY/PINKBOX.htm They are so good and awesome korean buying agent, and the other is http://www.konlinehouse.com/ They are mainly offering shipping service for overseas and perfect service.

Pinkbox, they are specialist of Apparels, becuase, they are producing and wholesale of Korean trendy fashion without minimum.

They both of them are nice and reliable korean buying agents in shopping online korea,

i remember that the moto of http://www.konlinehouse.com/ is shopping without border ?,,i think..

Yes, No border internet world, also countries.

Good Luck

E-card - The New trend in Greeting Cards

E-Card - New Technology of Greeting Card

E-Card - Fast and Easy way to send Greeting to your dear one
An E-card is a new technique to send the greeting cards to your dear one. It is similar to a postcard or greeting card, with the primary difference being that it is created using digital media instead of paper or other traditional materials. E-cards are made available by publishers usually on various web sites, where they can be sent to a recipient, usually via e-mail. It also considered more environment friendly compared to traditional paper cards. E-card businesses are considered environmentally friendly because their carbon footprint is generally much lower compared to paper card companies and because paper is not used in the end product.

E-cards are digital "content", which makes them much more versatile than traditional greeting cards. For example unlike traditional greetings, e-cards can be easily sent to many people at once or extensively personalized by the sender. Conceivably they could be saved to any computer or electronic device or even viewed on a television set, however e-card digital content has not yet progressed as far as digital video or digital audio in terms of varied usage.



Types of E-card
E-card technology has improved significantly since its origin.

1. Postcards
It use static (non-moving) images. These were the first type of e-card in use. The recipient sees a single artistic image, accompanied by a personalized greeting message.

2. Flash animation
This type of e-card is based on two-dimensional vector animation controlled with a scripting language. The recipient sees an animated short usually 15–30 seconds in duration. The animation often appears to have a cartoon style due to the nature of the content, though some Flash creations can be quite sophisticated and realistic. A sound track which may contain speech or music usually accompanies the animation.

3. Video E-cards
It use a combination of personalized text and video to convey the message to the recipient. VidWizz is a company that is allowing video and personalized messaging allowing you to create personalized video messages that give your words unique visual impact. Your own text is incorporated into one of the videos and emailed to whomever you wish.

4. Web based multi-media ecards
The web-based card creation has been evolving becoming more creative. The user can create greeting cards online choosing backgrounds, drag and drop images, animations, smileys and write text that look like handwriting. The ecard may contain videos and music as well. ZGreets.com is a website that was released in 2007 that allows user to create ecards online that can contain multiple media. It is also observed that some animation features are implemented, without making use of Flash.


History of E-card
The greeting card metaphor was employed early in the life of the Internet. In 1995, E-Cards.com began hosting online greetings featuring nature and wildlife photos - the site was one of the first "E" named sites, so named to evoke both the electronic and environmental nature of its cards. By Valentine's Day 1996 online greetings were popular enough to be documented. That year, Valentine's cards were offered by Infobahn.com and Sony Entertainment, among others.

In June 2008, JustAnotherDotCom.com purchased the free e-card site Greeting-cards.com and added it to their own greeting card site, which made them one of the largest e-card sites in the world[citation needed].

Charges for E-card
Originally, most e-cards were free, by virtue of being sponsored by advertising. While free greeting cards are still the most prevalent and popular, some sites charge for either all e-cards or special premium e-cards. Others charge an annual membership which enables members to send cards for the duration of the membership.


Security in E-card
Since many e-card companies are privy to the e-mail address of the recipient and often also the sender, and whether the recipient reads the card, spammers can use e-cards for finding active e-mail addresses. Sending an e-card to a given recipient invariably involves giving that recipient's email address to the e-card service – a third party. As with other third-party email services (such as mailing-list companies), the operator has the chance to misuse this address.

In some cases, it may be illegal for an organization or business to use an e-card service to send greetings to its customers. For instance, data privacy laws may forbid a business from disclosing information about customers to a third party – including names and email addresses.


Function of E-Card
Typically an e-card sender chooses from an on-line catalog of e-cards made available on a publisher's web site. After selecting a card, the sender can personalize it to various methods by adding a message, photo, or video. Finally the sender specifies the recipient's e-mail address and the web site delivers an e-mail message to the recipient on behalf of the sender.

History of Greeting Cards
The custom of sending greeting cards can be traced back to the ancient Chinese, who exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New Year, and to the early Egyptians, who conveyed their greetings on papyrus scrolls. By the early 1400s, handmade paper greeting cards were being exchanged in Europe. The Germans are known to have printed New Year's greetings from woodcuts as early as 1400, and handmade paper Valentines were being exchanged in various parts of Europe in the early to mid-1400s, with the oldest Valentine in existence being in the British Museum.
World Oldest Greeting Card

By the 1850s, the greeting card had been transformed from a relatively expensive, handmade and hand-delivered gift to a popular and affordable means of personal communication, due largely to advances in printing and mechanization.

Technical developments like color lithography in 1930 propelled the manufactured greeting card industry forward. Humorous greeting cards, known as studio cards, became popular in the late 1940s and 1950s.

By the 1980s there was a thriving market for what were now called "alternative" greeting cards, and the name stuck even though these "alternative" cards changed the look of the entire industry.
