About
ITDA is a group buy
that opens on request.
Post the Korean product you want. When enough people want it, the real maker or brand owner sells to the group directly, at a price ITDA negotiates. No importer, no reseller, no knock-offs. Pay only when it opens.
How is it different from other group buys?
- Not a reseller. Korean shopping sites buy from the maker and sell to you with a markup. On ITDA the maker or brand itself sells to the group. ITDA doesn’t sell anything.
- You pick. Deals open on what you asked for, not on what someone else chose.
- Authentic, by who sells it. The seller is the actual maker or the brand owner — verified through filings and official sources, and named on the deal page. No parallel imports, no knock-offs.
- That exact product. We negotiate with its brand or its maker and never swap in a look-alike.
Why is it cheaper?
Every step between the maker and you — importer, distributor, retailer — adds a margin. On ITDA the maker or brand sells to the group directly at a price negotiated for your volume, and ships grouped by area. We aim for about 20% below the current price.
How does it work?
- 1. Post · want — Post the product you want, or tap ‘I want this too’ on one that's already there. Sign in with your email once. No payment.
- 2. Negotiate — When enough people want it, ITDA agrees price, minimum quantity and timing with the Korean maker or brand, then emails everyone who wanted it.
- 3. Maker ships — Once orders reach the minimum, the maker or brand ships to the group directly, grouped by area.
When do I pay?
Not when you post or vote. When the deal is negotiated we email you the price, and you order then. If the minimum quantity isn’t reached, the order is cancelled at no cost.
How we name makers
- Maker names and histories come only from verifiable sources: filings, official pages, press.
- If a different maker offers its own product, we show it as a separate product under that maker’s name.
- The seller in an open group buy is the brand or maker. ITDA is the intermediary and says so on the deal page.
- Reference prices compare the same size and pack, with the date we checked.
