Sale Window — What's Different from Regular Promotions
The AliExpress Summer Savings event runs a concentrated seven-day timeline where discounts are heavily front-loaded. For Korean buyers, a two-day warm-up precedes the main window:

|---|---|---|
| Warm-up Period | June 29–30 | Flash deal previews; adding items to cart; PLQK codes not yet live |
| 7월 Choice Day Peak | July 1–7 | Peak discounts, deepest flash deals, active PLQK\* codes |
| Post-sale Phase | July 8+ | Clearance phase; PLQK\* codes typically expired |
Key highlights of this event: The 7월 Choice Day sale runs flash deals that change every few hours, seller coupons stack more aggressively, and AliExpress highlights "Choice" and trending products with additional platform-level discounts. It is a high-intent buying window on the AliExpress calendar.
Note: The promo codes are the PLQK\* series, valid July 1–7, 2026 KST. These codes are confirmed from the official AliExpress affiliate brief for the Summer Savings Sale.

How to Apply a 7월 Choice Day Code at Korean Checkout
- Add eligible items to your cart. Confirm your shipping address is set to a Korean address with the correct province (시/도) and postal code.
- Tap Buy Now or go to Cart → Proceed to Buy.
- Find the Coupon / Promo Code field above the order total.
- Enter the Summer Savings code (e.g.,
PLQK16) and tap Apply. - Verify the discount line appears in USD before confirming payment.
- Complete payment via your preferred Korean method. The total charge posts in USD and is converted to KRW at your bank's prevailing rate.
If the code returns "Invalid" or "Not available for your region":
- Confirm your cart USD subtotal clears the tier threshold shown above
- Verify items in your cart carry the 7월 Choice Day / Summer Savings sale badge (not all items qualify)
- Confirm you are using a Korean shipping address, not a forwarding address
- Confirm the sale is live — PLQK\* codes activate July 1, 2026 KST (they are not active during the June 29–30 warm-up)
- Make sure your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) is saved to your address, as direct-purchase orders cannot be placed without it

Payment Methods in Korea
AliExpress accepts the following for Korean shipping addresses:
- TossPay — accepted at AliExpress checkout for Korean buyers; convenient for fast mobile payment.
- NaverPay / KakaoPay — accepted via a linked card at checkout. Settlement depends on the underlying card brand (Visa/Mastercard).
- Visa / Mastercard issued by Korean banks: Shinhan, Samsung, KB, Lotte, Hana, NH (Nonghyup). These are fully supported for overseas direct-purchase orders.
- AliExpress charges in USD — your Korean bank converts at the prevailing USD/KRW rate. Most Korean credit cards carry an overseas transaction fee of approximately 1–1.5%; factor this into your effective saving calculation.
Korean Customs Reference — De Minimis and PCCC
Korean Customs (관세청) applies the following to personal imports from AliExpress:
- Personal Customs Clearance Code (개인통관고유부호 / PCCC): Direct-purchase parcels into Korea require a PCCC tied to your name and phone number. Register it free at the Korea Customs Service Unipass site and save it to your AliExpress shipping address before ordering — parcels without a valid PCCC are held at clearance.
- Under USD 150 (about ₩150,000) per shipment: Duty-free informal clearance applies for personal-use purchases. Most AliExpress parcels under this de minimis threshold clear without a customs bill.
- USD 150 and above: Import duty applies, varying by HS code. Electronics are typically assessed at approximately 8% duty. VAT (부가가치세) of 10% applies on top of the duty-inclusive value.
- High-value orders: Budget for combined duty + VAT of roughly 18–20% on the declared value for electronics.
Practical note for July orders: The PLQK29 ($260+) and PLQK36 ($325+) tiers sit well above the USD 150 de minimis threshold, so orders at these tiers may attract duty and VAT. The de minimis is assessed per shipment and per day, so consolidating or splitting parcels changes your landed cost — but do not artificially split a single order to evade assessment.
Price History Check Before Summer Savings Purchases
Many "discounts" are manufactured. Sellers inflate shelf prices 2–4 weeks before July 1, then apply a badge on July 1 at the same price they have been selling all month. AliShopping's 90-day price history chart shows the real baseline on every AliExpress listing — visible in-page, no extra steps.
Before applying any 7월 Choice Day code, check the price history. A $12-off code on a product that was inflated by $15 before the sale is not a genuine saving. The price history chart tells you in 10 seconds whether the "Summer Savings price" is truly below the pre-sale baseline.
