Quick answer

YesStyle ships from a warehouse in Hong Kong, makes standard US shipping free from $35 and says it pays US tariffs through its couriers. Opened beauty products can’t go back, and refunds default to YesStyle Credit. Confirm any other refund method with customer service before ordering.

Who runs YesStyle?

YesStyle’s Terms of Use name the operator as YesStyle.com Ltd., located in Hong Kong, and orders ship from its Hong Kong warehouse. The contact page directs customers to chat support and a contact form. On Trustpilot, YesStyle had a TrustScore of 4.4 from 104,781 reviews when we checked on November 3, 2026. Read the recent low ratings for repeated problems, not just the score.

For how YesStyle compares with Stylevana and Olive Young US on the same day’s terms, see our US store comparison.

What does YesStyle say about US duties?

In a notice dated September 1, 2026, YesStyle says it is “working with couriers to pay the tariffs on your behalf,” and that its Tax Refund Policy “will cover you” if you’re charged anyway.

That policy has conditions. You pay the courier or customs first, then send YesStyle a claim with the payment receipt within 30 days of the receipt date. It covers orders under $1,000 (before coupons, excluding shipping), pays you back in YesStyle Credit rather than cash, and doesn’t cover sales tax or courier fees such as storage. For the wider tariff picture, see our guide to K-beauty tariffs in 2026.

How much is shipping, and how long does it take?

With a US address selected, YesStyle’s shipping help page says “Free Standard Shipping with any US$ 35 purchase.” Its delivery estimate has two parts: how long an item takes to become available, plus the shipping time of the method you choose. We couldn’t verify the US delivery range or the fee below $35, so check both at checkout before you pay.

You can’t return a cleanser just because you tried it once and didn’t like it. Consider a smaller size for your first order.

Are YesStyle’s products genuine?

YesStyle’s About page calls it “the authorized distributor of 400+ Korean brands (and counting).” That is the store’s own claim. Its online safety page warns about fake emails that pretend to come from the store and says YesStyle “will never ask you to confirm your YesStyle.com account password” by email.

If you have doubts about a product, keep the packaging and contact the brand’s customer service. Our guide to spotting fake K-beauty walks through the Korean box.

On the Korean box

Korea’s Cosmetics Act (Article 10) requires cosmetics sold in Korea to show a batch number (제조번호) and either a use-by date (사용기한) or a period after opening (개봉 후 사용기간) on the outer packaging. Small packages covered by its exception still need both. If a period after opening is given, the manufacturing date must appear too. Article 30 allows export-only products not sold in Korea to follow the importing country’s rules. Check the container and any outer box when your parcel arrives, and keep the packaging if you contact the brand or the store.

So, should you order from YesStyle?

  • Check the duty-refund conditions: YesStyle says it pays US tariffs, but if you’re charged anyway, you must pay first and claim reimbursement in YesStyle Credit for eligible orders.
  • Think twice if you might return something after opening it: opened beauty products aren’t accepted.
  • Ask before you count on cash back: refunds default to YesStyle Credit.
