US Online Shopping - Pobox, JAC, LBC, MSB, etc (FAQ on page 241, Stolen items on page 208)

  • @Helli

    ano inorder mo sa newegg?
  • Sorry hindi na ako nakapagbackread masyado dahil madami nang discussions pero pwede ko bang malaman kung ano ang pinakareliable dyan sa mga pagpipilian? Una ko kasing naencounter ang Pobox then nalaman ko na madami pa palang ganyang services dito sa pinas. Gusto ko lang sana yung pinakahassle free sa kanila at maganda ang customer service in case anything goes wrong.

  • 38days sarap! Sana ganyan din pina sea cargo ko
  • Your shipment with TN 1801263BC008 has arrived in MNL and is ready for pickup.

    PID 1801253BC022 was packed in another cargo box in a separate pallet .

    You can already pickup the items that are already at the Xend warehouse or you can wait for the rest of the items to arrive next week and pickup at the same time

    My experience from Jinio
    Hindi ko alam kung bakt pa kailangan paghiwalayin items ko. Consolidated 3 items ko. First time nangyari sakin for more than a year now. Trying to contact them before weekend but no reply naman.
  • mga sir, may nakapagpaship na po ba dito from aliexpress?
  • Any one tried na magpaship ng monitor sa SC? magkano kaya aabutin sa sea cargo na shipping fee?
  • @Vesper
    use the calculator ni SC. pretty accurate naman ung estimate nila.
    make sure to input the actual box/packaging dimension and shipping weight ng item.
  • @ChrisTracker

    okay lang yan sir. minsan nassplit ung consolidated package sa Jinio :) Maganda experience ko sa kanila matagal nga lang compared sa SC. so far wala akong nawawalang items from them. Been using them for 2 years for my business hehe
  • Guys meron ba kayo promo code for LBC?

    My 15lb bowling ball is ready for sea cargo pero am hoping meron pang discount. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  • Bihira ngayun promo ni SC, di gaya dati halos lahat ng CC merun discounts.
  • ^
    Awww sayang. Am combing through my email nga, dati ang sipag ng mga promo nila pero ngayon parang wala talaga eh.

    Sige, will pay it via cc na para dumating agad. Thanks!
  • @dc_sais, i'd rather hear it from someone na naka-experience na mismo. I've only tried using air cargo, and when I used their estimate calculator, mas mahal nung babayaran ko na mismo yung shipping fee.
  • @Vesper
    different packaging kasi sir per monitor. the best is try mo first hand. hindi naman kamahalan magpaship sa SC kung sea :) at least you'll have an idea. rough estimation lang talaga ung calculator nila since ung mga vendor ang laki ng box kung magpadala

    @De_Leon
    meron silang 250php off before ka magbayad. not sure if it applies to all acount :)

    @chester314
    suki ako sa aliexpress. ask away :)
  • @Vesper
    nung nagpa ship ako ng monitor last october accurate naman both calculator ang actual price nila.
    3927 (estimate) vs 4075 (actual price), 38x20x8 box size.
    kaya nga i make sure na tama ang box dimensions na nilagay ko.
    for your peace of mind, i suggest taking a screenshot nung estimate price then pag sobra yung actual price, pwede mo i-dispute.
  • @Pleau and @dc_sais

    Thanks for your inputs. Nung sa air cargo kasi, estimate ko is around 1.4k then nung sa actual na naging 2.2k. @dc_sais, thanks din sa example. Now, may idea na ako kung magkano fee pag ganyang dimensions.
  • @Pleau

    Yah may nagsabi nga na minsan nakikita nila auto-applied yung discount sa cart. Pero dito sa cart ko wala eh. Pero ok na din, halos 1500 lang naman yung fee ng sea cargo. Paid it online with my Mastercard, smooth naman ang transaction.

    2nd time ko na magpaship ng bowling ball with SC, so far so good. 11/10 would ship again!
  • NewEgg buyers, natry nyo na magpaship sa forwarder? gusto kong bilhin ung 28in 4k monitor nila na freesync kaso matataxan na ako kapag straight to PH haha
  • hi guys, when ordering sa amazon ano mas ok converted na to PHP or USD? or doenst matter kasi same lang pag lumabas sa billing ng local credit card natin?
  • ^
    it doesn't matter. your credit card company will charge you the equivalent prevailing exchange rate for your local currency at the time of purchase
  • ^actually preferred ung bank ang magconvert ng currency compared sa amazon pero sobrang negligible lang ng difference. cents lang haha
  • mga sir pa suggest naman san magandang mamili ng mga snapback hats na mura :D salamat po
  • Depende sa credit card. Pansin ko masyado malaki conversion ni amazon. Example one time around 55 to peso equivalent kay amazon then yung sa bpi credit card ko around 52 lang di ko ginamit amazon conversion. Check mo sa cc mo rin yung forex fee. Sa around 52 na yun kasama na yung 1.85% forex fee ni bpi(1% mastercard fee + .85% kay bpi)

    Wag ka lang gumamit ng citibank kasi forex fee around 3.525% pero even with that mas malaki pa rin automatic conversion ni amazon kaya I avoid it at all cost. Once lang ako nakagamit nun and when I realized na malaki conversion nila di na ako umulit.

  • ^ Based on my experience, mas maganda rates ni Citibank compared sa BDO.
  • I don't have a bdo credit card only bpi and citibank.
    well rates vary depending sa bank pero usually forex rate ng per bank hindi nalalayo sa market standard so expect na cents lang ang difference. Ang magmamatter yung other forex fee. I've made this mistake before and malaki pa naman amount ng order using citibank cc.
    Citibank has 3.525% Foreign Transaction Service Fee vs 1.85% kay BPI.

    on top of the prevailing foreign exchange rate ito yung other charge ni citibank --
    Foreign Transaction Service Fee-
    All charges made in foreign currencies will automatically be converted to Philippine Peso on the posting dates at the prevailing exchange rate determined by Visa/MasterCard. A fee of up to 3.525% will be imposed on the converted amount which represents our service fee and assessment fees charged by Visa/MasterCard. <click here for link>

    vs kay bpi naman
    Foreign Currency Conversion -
    0.85% of the converted amount plus the Mastercard / Visa assessment fee of 1%, using the foreign exchange rate of Mastercard / Visa at the time the transaction is posted <click here for link>
  • ^ Yup, kung meron lang din akong BPI yan ang gagamitin. Alam ko rin sila yung may pinakamagandang rates.
  • sa SC, ilan araw inaabot bago ma-ship after paying?
  • 4 to 5 days(not business days). Nakalimang paship na ako consistent yan. Qc area ako by the way. Baka mas matagal pag sa ibang lugar or outside metro manila.
  • 4-5 days din pinakamabilis ko dito sa Laguna with SC, reliable naman so far. Naka-ilang pa-ship na din ako though natigil because budget

    Guys mas mura kaya kung isa-isa ang item shipping from Amazon to SC? Pansin ko kasi ang computation ni SC ng shipping cost is yung volume nung box na dumating sa kanila hindi yung items sa loob. So kung malaki box ni Amazon dahil kinonsolidate ni Amazon yung items, malaki din babayaran na shipping?

    Tama ba? Medyo matagal na din nung huli kong paship kaya di ko na matandaan masyado.
