Hunting a specific artist, out-of-stock item, or niche Korean brand? DM us the details and we'll source it in Seoul or Tokyo — even if it means visiting the shop in person.

Everything you
might wonder.

Ordering
How do I place an order?+
Fill in our online order form, or DM us on Instagram @studio2j25 with the fair name, artist, or website link you're interested in. We'll confirm availability and send a quotation within 24 hours. Nothing is purchased until you approve and pay. order form.
What's the service fee?+
Minimum ₩25,000 / ¥2,500 per order, or 15% of total goods value — whichever is higher. For fair hauls and in-store purchases, a transportation or runner fee may be added. Everything — item cost, service fee, and shipping — is in one invoice, confirmed before we purchase.
When do I pay?+
Once — before we purchase anything. We send a single invoice covering item cost, service fee, and international shipping. You review and pay to confirm your order.
What if the item is sold out?+
If something is unavailable when we arrive at the fair or shop, we refund that portion immediately. For proxy buying, we verify stock before invoicing to avoid this.
Shipping & delivery

How long does shipping take?+
Typically 7–14 business days from Seoul or Tokyo, depending on destination. Full tracking provided once shipped.
What about customs and duties?+
Any customs fees or import duties are the buyer's responsibility. We declare the accurate value on all packages. Most stationery orders under $100 rarely incur duties, but this varies by country.
Is packaging included?+
Yes. Every parcel includes protective packaging. We pack stationery flat to prevent bending and wrap fragile items individually.
Returns & refunds
Can I cancel my order?+
Cancellations are accepted until we've purchased the items. Once we've bought them, full refunds are not possible as we cannot return the goods. We'll offer alternatives where possible.
