Since a lot of my fellow collectors are getting scammed on Twitter, I decided to write this list of trusted Twitter shops to buy BTS merch in the Philippines. I personally shopped from these sellers and had a good experience.
List of BTS Merch Twitter Shops
1. SEOUL SHOPPER – This is one of the first Twitter shops I have known recommended by a friend when I was just starting to collect photocards. Since then I also bought some vintage BTS merch from them and lucky draw cards. They also offer Korean address rental if you want to buy your merch directly from Weverse but at a cheaper shipping fee. Besides BTS, they also sell Enhypen and TxT merch.
2. ALING CHULIEN – The most famous BTS Twitter shop among collectors. If you know them, then you’re really a collector now. Since they’re so popular, you really have to put an alarm on their drops especially on photo cards because they sold in seconds. But for less rare or in-demand merch, you can find it on their Shopee store here.
3. ALING NOONA – This is probably the first BTS merch reseller I know but I knew them from Instagram and they were recommended by a mutual friend of the shop admins. They’re my go-to shop not only for BTS merch but other pasabuys from Korea as well. They also offer Korean address rental and they have an official website AlingNoona.com.
4. BGNKLABPH – Among all the shops listed here, I think this one has the fastest ETA in my experience. Besides BTS Korea merch, sometimes they also drop Japan merch.
5. KOREATOMANILA – I shopped from them once and the experience was okay. I’m just impatient from a month-long ETA. Besides BTS merch, they also sell other items from Korea like beauty products.
6. UGH PURPLE SHOP – A new shop I just discovered this year. Among all those listed here, this one is based in Laguna. So if you’re from there, you can save on shipping fees because they do meetups. They also offer Korean address rental.
So far these are the trusted Twitter shops to buy BTS merch in the Philippines I personally know. If I found more, I’ll update this list.
