I ordered stuff from weverse last week and honestly I thought that 22USD was the outside of what I would pay. I'm in Australia, so not that far from Korea (compared to say, the US or UK) and in Australian dollars that's around 35$ - for a small light tok and a disc. As soon as Taemins album is released that will be another 35 for delivery 😑. So out of a 200AUD order 70 was postage.

This week sale of Taemins membership kit was coming up and, suffering from fomo, I decided to get it. 35usd, so 55 in AUD. Doable. Get to the checkout though and shipping is 50USD - 75AUD. To Australia!?! I mean, globally speaking we're just down the road.. where i live my time zone is just half an hour behind Korea's.

Unlike Weverse there was no explanation of the shipping costs, or choices of companies (even though they all were around the same rate it was nice to have a choice). Fromm has officially passed me off. It was bad enough that the lives have no subtitles even for besties, that you have to pay a subscription for use of a dodgy range of stickers, and that the app itself is a nightmare to use. Charging 30USD more than what I know shipping actually costs is just a big middle finger to the fans.

What do you think?

Im in Australia, and it looks like we will miss out on any Liminal concerts. Recently, I watched the Weverse livestream of Shinees SWVIII Invert concert (with my mum, a dedicated Shawol) and it was one of the best experiences of her life. Im more of a Taemate and Im desperate to see Liminal as a high def full concert - not dribs and drabs of fan cams. Im on Weverse, Fromm etc but havent seen any mention of livestreams. Will this come closer to the time or should i resign myself to missing out?

How is a Monday express post parcel telling me Fri-Mon expected delivery with a straight face? I posted it at the literal GPO of a capital city, its going slightly further than Brisbane at the other end. Posted it at closing time, so forget monday but if tuesday is first day thursday is the absolute outside delivery should be expected. Last week i sent one express from Unley, SA to Aspley, QLD and it sat in unley from Wednesday to Saturday, then reached aspley on tuesday morning. I had a TEMU order sit in melbourne for 3 days that same week. What the heck is wrong with them? Theyre only delivering letters twice a week now to focus on parcels!! So they said. Disgusting service. AUSPOST has gone to the dogs.

This is mine and my mum's third viewing of the concert and its still so good :) Atmos is amazing!

We're in Australia and was way better value for money going for live streaming plus we got to connect with many other Australian shawols, even some in our hometown. So im wondering, who is watching the delayed stream of SHINee WORLD VIII The INVERT today, and where are you in the world? Where is the best sub to connect with Australian shawols, or is there other platforms which are better?
