Description
I have questions with respect to:
1) Is the Line Friends BT21 Merch official or unofficial?
A: Majority of the BT21 merch is fan made (unofficial). There's a few official items for sale and the official items will say wording that's it's official in the product page. The more expensive items are official while the less expensive ones are fanmade. Unofficial BT21 will be much less than the price of the official version.
2) Are the photocards for sale official or fanmade?
A: Almost all the photocard sets for sale are fanmade or unofficial. If they are in the Under $15 collection, they are unofficial. If they are from a Lucky Draw or a album Pre-Order Benefit then they are 100% official and essentially come one by one unless you order a set via a Lucky Draw.
1) How soon will my item(s) will ship?
A: If we process the charges to your credit card, it will ship within 8 business days from the date of your order. The tracking information will get sent out automatically to the e-mail address you provided when checking out.

2) How long are shipping times?
A: Your products will ship within 5 to 8 days of you placing your order then take 4 to 6 weeks to reach your doorstep. Each product at Kpop Exchange has an estimated delivery time that you can find in the product page.
3) Do you ship to PO Boxes?
A: Yes!
4) What's the ETA to USA and Canada?
A: 3-5 weeks is the ETA. On occasions it may arrive faster and during busy shipping times it may turn into 6 weeks. for items such as Albums and Official Merchandise, it's already in the US and is received much faster. The shipping speed can be chosen at checkout depending on fast you want to receive it.
5) Where can I find my tracking information?
A: The tracking will update on the order status page once the item is in transit. You will also receive an email notification with a link to your personal tracking page through my shipping program, AfterShip.
6) Where do your items ship from?
A: Albums and official goods come from South Korea and ship out of our small facility in Denver, CO. Unofficial and less expensive goods are made in and ship from China.
1) What's your return policy?
A: All sales are final. We accept returns for refunds, for items damaged in transit or defective items. Why? Returns run counter to our emphasis on sustainability: every return has a carbon footprint.
2) Can I cancel my order?
A: Yes, you can if it's within 48 hours. All orders cancelled after 48 hours are subject to a $20 administration fee, whether or not your order has shipped. If you order has shipped, you (the buyer) will also be responsible for actual return shipping charges. Refunds will only be issued to the original credit card that you use when placing your order.
3) What happens if I receive a defective electronic item?
A: Electronics include any product that requires a battery such as a Lightstick. In the rare event you receive a sealed official lightstick that is defective, you would need to contact the manufacturer. The contact information can be found in the user manual.
Stray Kids THE SOUND Limited Edition Type A & Type B Japanese Album
STAY, this is not a simple “pick a cover” decision. Stray Kids - THE SOUND [Limited Edition] Japanese gives you two collector routes: Type A for the Blu-ray-and-big-photobook crowd, or Type B for the handwritten-message ZINE crowd. Both versions include the full Japanese album CD and 2 random official photocards from a 16-card member pool. The binder math is already looking at you.
Type A is the visual-content powerhouse. It includes a 60-page Type A photobook, Blu-ray, two random Type A photocards out of 16, one random photo sticker out of 8, a connected original photo card sheet featuring all eight members, and a large group folded poster. The Blu-ray is loaded with jacket-shooting footage, THE SOUND recording footage, SKZ MUSEUM, plus “CIRCUS” and “Your Eyes” music videos with their making films. This is the “I only wanted the album, but now I have a full Stray Kids screening scheduled” version.
Type B is the handwritten-note collector version. It includes a 32-page Type B photobook, two random Type B photocards out of 16, and a 28-page Special ZINE with handwritten member messages. No Blu-ray, but a lot more “put this in a magazine sleeve and stare at it respectfully” energy.
Stray Kids / 스트레이 키즈 is the eight-member group under JYP Entertainment: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. The group debuted in March 2018 with I am NOT, while their Japanese releases are issued through Epic Records Japan / Sony Music Labels. Their official fandom name is STAY.
THE SOUND is Stray Kids’ first Japanese full album, released on February 22, 2023. The 10-track album pairs Japanese originals such as “THE SOUND,” “Battle Ground,” “Lost Me,” “DLMLU,” “Novel,” and “There” with Japanese versions of “CASE 143,” “CHILL,” and “Thunderous,” plus “Scars.” Its concept is Stray Kids turning their own sound into the main character: loud, self-defined, performance-first, and impossible to ignore. Their later Billboard 200 streak includes seven consecutive No. 1 debuts by 2025, starting with ODDINARY.
Release Date: February 22, 2023 Language: Japanese Format: Physical CD album Condition: New/Sealed
Order Stray Kids - THE SOUND [Limited Edition] Japanese from Kpop Exchange, shipping from Denver, Colorado. No international customs jumpscare for U.S. STAYs, just a Type A versus Type B decision that will absolutely become a group-chat debate.
