“I was ordering to the US from the Olive Young Global site just a little while ago — now it says shipping isn’t available at all…”
If you’ve run into this over the past few weeks, you’re not imagining it. As of May 29, 2026, Olive Young Global (global.oliveyoung.com) completely stopped shipping to all 50 US states. This guide breaks down exactly what happened, and whether there’s still a way to get the real Korean Olive Young lineup.
What Happened: The Olive Young US Shipping Timeline
Olive Young split its US shipping into two separate tracks.
1) Olive Young Global stopped US shipping (May 29, 2026): Olive Young Global, the existing channel that ships from Korea to 60+ countries, officially discontinued shipping to the US (all 50 states plus D.C.) only. Even if you visit the site, you can’t check out with a US address — you’re automatically redirected to the newly launched US-only site. Other countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore, can still order as before, so this change applies to the US alone.
2) Olive Young US launched: Around the same time, Olive Young opened its first US brick-and-mortar store in Pasadena and launched a US-only website (us.oliveyoung.com). However, this site only ships within the US (the contiguous 48 states plus Alaska and Hawaii), and its brand and product lineup differs from Olive Young in Korea.
ℹ️ Note: Olive Young US reportedly curates a selection of around 400 brands and 5,000 items, and certain categories — sunscreen being a notable example — are made up mostly of products adjusted to meet US regulatory standards. The assortment can differ from the full lineup you’d see in Olive Young’s Korean stores and app, and since the US launch is still in its early stages, the curation and policies may continue to change.
In short, if you live in the US and want the exact same products Olive Young actually sells in Korea, neither Olive Young Global (US shipping stopped) nor Olive Young US (a separately curated lineup) may line up perfectly with what you’re looking for.
Can You Still Get the Real Korean Olive Young?
Yes. With Paysable Store, you can keep buying the products Olive Young actually sells in Korea, regardless of this policy change. In Paysable Store, selecting Olive Young lets you browse and buy the same products as the Korean site, and since the renewal, the Store purchasing fee has been running as an ongoing free promotion with no set end date — so you can use it without a separate fee.
For a step-by-step walkthrough of how it works (browse → buy → request consolidated shipping), see the complete guide to buying Olive Young online from Korea. This article focuses on what this policy change actually changed.
Table 1. Olive Young to the US: what changed
| Channel | US shipping | Product lineup |
|---|---|---|
| Olive Young Global | Stopped (since 2026-05-29) | Korean lineup (can’t ship) |
| Olive Young US | Available (US domestic only) | Separate curation (~400 brands) |
| Paysable Store | Available (via forwarding) | Full Korean lineup, as sold in Korea |
Worried About Customs Delays?
In the early days of the Olive Young US launch, customs delays have been a common shipping question. International shipments go through customs at the destination country, so clearance can sometimes take longer than expected depending on the situation.
- ✅ Consolidating multiple orders into a single shipment, rather than sending them separately, reduces the number of customs declarations involved.
- ✅ Since some countries restrict certain items from being imported, it’s a good idea to check the Prohibited Items page in advance if you’re unsure about a product.
⚠️ Note: Customs procedures and timelines vary by country, season, and item, and are outside Paysable’s direct control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Olive Young still ship to the US?
A. The Olive Young Global site stopped shipping to the US as of May 29, 2026. A separate Olive Young US site now handles US domestic shipping instead, but its product lineup differs from Korea’s. If you want the exact products sold in Korea, try Paysable Store.
Q. Why did shipping stop so suddenly?
A. Olive Young entered the US market directly, opening a Pasadena brick-and-mortar store and a US-only website, and in the process ended US shipping on the existing global site. For accurate details, it’s best to check Olive Young’s official announcements.
Q. Why not just buy from Olive Young US?
A. Olive Young US has the convenience of US domestic shipping, but it runs a separately curated lineup (around 400 brands) that differs from Korea’s. If you want the exact lineup sold in Korea, buying the Korean-site products directly through Paysable Store may be a better fit than Olive Young US.
