Ordering Daehaeng Sunim’s translation of the Diamond Sutra

We’ve figured out how to ship this overseas!
(It’s the English translation of Daehaeng Kun Sunim’s Korean version of the Diamond Sutra. Here’s a link to previews and book info.)

It turns out that the Kyobo bookstore offers the best deal for overseas shipping. They were also a good bit cheaper than even the Korean post office, so we’ll be using them to fulfill overseas orders.

Ordering process: email us at onemind@hanmaum.org, with your address and phone number (the shipper needs a phone number on the delivery end). We’ll send you an invoice from Paypal, and then have Kyobo send you the book. They are using FedEx, and the books seem to be arriving within 7 business days.

Costs: The costs are the book plus shipping. For most countries, the weak Korean Won is making this a great deal! (All prices are in USD. The Korean Won has been bouncing around quite a bit, so these prices might have to change later.)

Canada/USA/Mexico and Australia: $33 for one book, $56 for two

Germany/Western Europe: $35 for 1 book, $60 for two

Japan/Thailand: $30 for one book, $53 for two

For more copies or other destinations not listed here, email us and we’ll find out what the price will be. Most countries should be similar, but there are some weird things, like where the price for shipping one book to the Scandinavian countries is the same as Western Europe, but for two copies, it jumps a fair bit .

Ordering direct from Kyobo is a great option if you are in Korea, but the website is only in Korean, and can require some awkward security programs in order to buy anything. So just a bit of warning if you aren’t used to Korean websites.
