[instructions][English ordering] How to purchase Rain’s limited snapback hat on Gmarket.
— Cloud cover by Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^
**NOTE: If you were on our bulk order list to get this hat, you should have received an Update email from me on Friday, February 10, that R.A.I.N. Company has canceled international bulk orders in favor of online ordering at Gmarket.
Hi, all! R.A.I.N. Company has put the snapback hat Rain personally designed for fans on Gmarket, and the limited online sale started a few hours ago at 8 PM Sunday night (February 12)! For those of you who might want one, here is what you need to know:
• The English language order page is HERE: → http://bit.ly/2lv64zQ
• The hat price is $29.oo USD. Gmarket’s quoted international shipping price is around $30.00 USD, give or take. (We know… steep!)
• As I understand it, the sale will last for as long as the hats last. Quantities are limited.
For anyone who is not familiar with shopping on Gmarket and is having problems following the order process, I’ve made screenshot instructions from when I put in my personal order. I hope it helps! Please see those below:

I wasn’t registered at Gmarket and have never bought anything there before, so it was a complete surprise when the entire process went fast and easy-peasy for me. I had no problems whatsoever, a breath of fresh air!
So, now I wait (international delivery is from 5 to 15 business days) to see how the shipping of my Rain goodies goes.
Praying that it goes well.

You know, I must say the process of ordering and getting to my doorstep was pretty smooth overall and very quick, however, two things really annoyed me. I want to just put it out there for Rain’s peeps next time we have an opportunity to purchase his wares in the States.
(1) International shipping was highway robbery, as in Crazy expensive. In my case, it was practically the same price as the hat itself….so Not cool. I can tell you definitively……if it wasn’t Rain and if I didn’t really want the hat “I” would’ve never made the purchase. Real talk. It was double the price for what is essentially a baseball cap.
(2) We were unable to make a choice between the two colors of the hat, as there was no drop down option given. So ultimately, I had no idea which color of the hat I was going to get. I did not know until it arrived at my door. Again if this was anyone other than Rain, Dee would’ve passed on making this purchase.
Listen, I’m pretty easygoing and I don’t complain too much as things have gotten so much better since the early days for us U.S. fans…..truly. Having said that, there’s still a ways to go when it comes to considering the cost to fans who don’t live in Asia, especially when it comes to purchasing Rain’s wares. Don’t get me wrong, no one made me buy the hat and I will wear it proudly…..but this is about business and Rain likes to know how his Clouds feel and he can’t make changes unless he knows what’s up. So this comment was really just an FYI. Other than those two things, it’s all good Sweetness! SMILES……………………

Quick note, I thought I was on the bulk order but I didn’t receive an email on Feb. 10th from anyone. Should I order separately?

Well GMarket is quick. I ordered on Sunday night after the Grammys and I got an email today that my order has shipped. We’ll see how long it takes to actually get to me, but so far things seem to be going smoothly.

You’re welcome. Honestly, there are a couple things that annoyed me greatly, one I’ve already mentioned. However, I don’t want to spoil the excitement for others, so I’ll save it for another day. But when you are an older fan girl, common sense will slap you out of any celeb brain fog you may have with a quickness. Especially when it comes to money. LOL.

I ordered mine last night after watching the Grammys. I remembered what you said about Korean time/US time. I also registered the night before that so I wouldn’t have to deal with it when I ordered. The process was pretty smooth. Your screen shots show it very well.
But international shipping………..Good Gravy! I will be sleeping and eating in that hat. Believe that! LOL.
One thing that was funny, when I put in a name for my ID someone already had that name. I was like…..really? I thought I was being clever……LOL.
