Yes — Olive Young runs three separate online sites: oliveyoung.co.kr for Korea, global.oliveyoung.com for 150+ countries with free shipping over $60, and us.oliveyoung.com for US buyers since May 29, 2026.
Which site works for you decides everything: whether you need a Korean phone number, whether shipping is free, and who calculates your customs charges.
This post compares the three sites side by side, answers the Korean phone number question, explains the new US split, and ends with the tax-free passport rule for in-store buyers.
Can I Order From Olive Young Online?
| oliveyoung.co.kr | Korean phone number + Korean address — no direct overseas shipping offered; warns it only works properly in Chrome, Edge, Safari |
|---|---|
| global.oliveyoung.com | Ships to 150+ countries, English site, USD pricing; free over $60; customs calculated at checkout |
| us.oliveyoung.com | US-only since days after May 29, 2026; shipping fee, threshold and product range not confirmed on a primary page |
Yes — online ordering works from abroad, and Olive Young runs three separate sites for it.
Which site you can use depends on where you live: Korean site for inside Korea, us.oliveyoung.com for the US, and Global for everywhere else (150+ countries).
When I answer this question, the first thing I check is the buyer’s country — that alone decides which of the three sites will take the order, and whether a Korean phone number is needed at all.
Three rules that pair with the sites:
- oliveyoung.co.kr requires a Korean phone number and Korean address to order.
- global.oliveyoung.com needs none of those — it ships to 150+ countries in English with USD pricing.
- us.oliveyoung.com serves US customers only; check the site directly for its shipping fee and threshold before ordering.
Which Site Ships to My Country? (Comparison Table)
The table answers the one question buyers ask first: which site covers me.
| You are… | Site to use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| In the US | us.oliveyoung.com | Global stopped shipping to the US on May 29, 2026 |
| Outside the US and outside Korea | global.oliveyoung.com | Ships to 150+ countries, English/USD |
| Inside Korea with a Korean number | oliveyoung.co.kr | Full Korean service incl. store pickup |
| No Korean phone number | Global or the US site | Korean site blocks registration without one |
Why Us.oliveyoung.com Exists (and What Is Still Unknown)
On May 29, 2026, Olive Young Global stopped shipping to the US and redirected US customers to us.oliveyoung.com.
Four 2026 guides (Korea Made Easy, Yogi Korea and others) now cover the same three-site split, so this is the current structure, not a rumor.
What has not been verified from a primary page: the US site’s shipping fee, free-shipping threshold, product range, and foreign card acceptance — check those on the site before you order.
Also worth knowing: us.oliveyoung.com is presented as US-only, so it is not a workaround for buyers elsewhere.
Dates to keep:
- May 29, 2026 — Global stops shipping to the US; redirect begins
- Days after May 29 — us.oliveyoung.com began serving US customers
- September 29, 2026 — The Guardian covered the 2026 US shipping opening
- October 2, 2026 — writing date, 126 days after the stop
If you are in the US and previously ordered on Global, treat your saved links as dead — start from us.oliveyoung.com directly.
Do I Need a Korean Phone Number? (Routes Without One)
For oliveyoung.co.kr, yes — a Korean phone number and Korean address are required to order online.
That site also warns it only works properly in Chrome, Edge, and Safari browsers, which trips up many overseas visitors.
What you can do without Korean registration:
- Order on global.oliveyoung.com — English, USD, 150+ countries, no Korean number needed.
- If you are in the US, use us.oliveyoung.com instead.
- If you are inside Korea without local registration, use oliveyoung.co.kr’s store-locator feature — check stock at a nearby store, then place a pickup order, as listed on the site’s own FAQ page.
The Korean site also does not offer direct overseas shipping; guides point overseas buyers to Global or the US site instead.
Free Shipping and Customs: When Is Global Worth It?
Global’s only confirmed number is the $60 free-shipping threshold — orders at or over $60 ship free, under $60 you pay a fee.
The fee amount itself was not verified from a primary page, so check the exact charge at checkout before deciding.
Customs and duties are calculated at checkout on Global, so you see the total before you pay.
Three checks before you order:
- Is your destination country on the current shipping list?
(150+ countries claimed; the current list was not re-verified after the US stop.)
- Is your cart at or over $60?
If not, add items or accept the unverified shipping fee.
- Do you accept the duty estimate shown at checkout?
It is calculated before payment, not billed later.
If any of these three checks fail on Global, the store route in the next section is the alternative.
Buying In-Store Instead: The Passport Rule
A passport is required for tax-free purchases in Olive Young physical stores.
This is the one rule every 2026 guide repeats alongside the online-sites question, so buyers clearly compare both routes.
You do not need a Korean phone number or address to buy in a store — the passport is what matters for the tax-free price.
If your trip is short and your basket is big, the in-store tax-free route may beat online shipping entirely; if you are ordering from home abroad, the site table at the top is the answer.
If you are in Korea without a passport on you, skip the tax-free price or come back with it — there is no online substitute for that day.

Quick Summary
- Your shipping address decides which of the three sites takes the order — US buyers were moved off Global on May 29, 2026, and Global will not ship to them.
- If you have neither a Korean phone number nor a Korean address, the Korean site is closed to you — order through Global or the US site instead.
- Build your Global cart around the $60 line: over $60 ships free, under $60 you pay a shipping fee.
- Check the customs total at Global checkout before you pay — duties are calculated there.
- Before you rely on Global, test that your card works — foreign card acceptance has not been confirmed in any source.
- Buying in a physical store instead? Bring your passport — tax-free checkout requires it every time.
