Shipping to South Korea from the US involves major carriers like USPS, FedEx, and UPS, with options ranging from fast (1-3 days) and expensive (FedEx Priority) to economical (USPS Priority/First Class) with longer transit times (up to 2 weeks), plus you'll need customs forms detailing contents and value, and must check for prohibited items. Prices vary greatly by speed, weight, and size, with courier comparison sites helping find the best balance.

South Korea's 52-hour work rule limits the total weekly work hours for most employees to 52, combining 40 regular hours and up to 12 hours of overtime, aiming to reduce long work hours and improve work-life balance, though it has faced debates and some industry-specific flexibility discussions. It applies to businesses based on size and duration, with penalties for non-compliance, and the rule aims to protect worker health against long hours and overwork.

Delivery times from the the US to South Korea can vary between 6-7 business days for a standard or express service to 14-21 for an economy service. Generally you'll pay less for services with longer delivery times.

Yes, Amazon does deliver to South Korea, often with specific promotions like free shipping on eligible items over $49, but it involves complexities like higher costs, longer waits, and potential customs duties, with many Koreans also using local alternatives like Coupang for local goods. You'll likely use Amazon Global, which handles some customs upfront but can still lead to delays and extra fees, with Amazon.com being a popular choice for unique items not found locally.
