  • May forwarder/proxy shopping ba na pwede from Singapore to Philippines. May gusto kasi ako bilhin sa Lazada SG. Thanks!
  • Any forwarder po na volumetric weight ang gamit sa shipping fee? I buy mostly used books sa US and have been using ShippingCart but limited lang sila to 12books / shipment, even if different yung titles. Last year I have to ship my books in 4 different shipments :(

    Bought a couple of items on both sites. OK naman generally sila, medyo natagalan lang yung ke Indiegogo kasi standard mail lang ang ginamit ko at the time (2017). Mas concern for me is yung quality nung items sold there, which can vary from pretty excellent to busted after a few uses. It would do you well to look into the track record of each campaign starter kung ok yung history nila para iwas regret when buying items from them.

    Last item I got from KS is Coolermaster's Pi Case 40 campaign (yes, even big CM did a campaign)

    MSB or my-shoppingbox, for books, that's 5.99usd per lb lang although cali din sya. The problem is wala syang consolidation so all items had to arrive at the same time, else, they will be computed per item.
    Jinio is ok din, 5% ang sales tax unlike in cali but yun lang 8.5usd naman per lb regardless if its electronic or non-electronic plus there's another 0.99usd per lb on top if idedeliver sa bahay mo (else, you get them at their office in mandaluyong) but they do consolidate and minify the item to maximize your savings.
    Kango is ok din, had 4 books delivered and it was like $15 lang ata IIRC, consolidated and these were very hefty books atleast a pound each.
  • yung Jinio @sir Advali kasama na yung tax jan, or paid separately pa? if not me option ba iiinclude na sa payment before mo i pa deliver sa area mo? salamat
  • ^Kasama na tax jan so no worries. Yun nga lang as I've explained above, lets say ang total volumetric weight ng item mo is 2lbs. That is $17 pero if ipapadeliver mo sa bahay nyo, per lb, you have to add $0.99 so total mo ngayon is $18.98 na, else, you can still pay $17 pero sa office nila sa mandaluyong mo na ipipickup.

  • Easybox has SG warehouse.

    -----
    If you plan to ship in commercial quantity, you can try inquiring with Easybox (air cargo only) or Packypack by Forex (air & sea cargo) or USA Direct Philippines (air) since they're the ones who mention commercial shipments on their websites. Ask din ShippingCart baka may separate account sila for commercial shipments.
  • Nga pala, sa mag oorder ng multiple items e.g. books with jinio. Pag different titles ng books, walang limit. Pag same item, they'll split it to 6 per shipment. So basically wala naman pala limit if magkakaibang items or titles ng books yung papaship mo.

  • I'm planning to buy a laptop currently on sale at Lenovo US website that costs around $1500.00 and have it shipped here in the Philippines. What's the best forwarder in your guys' opinion para makaiwas sa malaking tax and fees pag-dating dito? Currently looking at Kango and Buyandship
  • Anybody tried buying bulky stuff from US, like a 14-inch broadcast TV monitor?

    I've been eyeing several eBay listings, but I'm wondering if there are reasonably-priced shipping options papunta dito sa Pinas.
  • I have recently ordered <click here for link> from the Internet for the first time..was really glad to get it in the right condition!

    It should reflect on your cart in less than 12 hrs. from now PH time.
  • Thanks, wait ko na lang, sana lumabas na bukas.
  • After 3 weeks of emails with shippingcart na refund na nila yung items ko from insurance. Bought CDs during sale and nung dumating dito basag more than half ng items. Kupal yung unang customer support na nakausap ko pero buti na lang inayos agad nung pumalit na representative.
  • Sa bahay na ba deliver neto pag ShippingCart? Or pickup sa nearest branch?
  • Hi Guys,

    I'm planning to buy a laptop sa walmart. May idea po kayo ilan weeks ang delivery papunta dito sa pinas. Thanks

    http://bitly.ws/bCqa
  • ^

    Take note lang hindi ito sold by Walmart ha.
  • Does anyone know or has experience if shippingcart provides any recompense or anything to make up for late shipments? I have a sea cargo package with ETA on their website listed as Feb 09, but until now the latest update is 'Shipment has arrived at TAIWAN PORT'. Obviously this won't make it in time. I'm asking since some stores do offer shipping fee refunds whenever they deliver items late -- Amazon for example.
  • ^

    No they don't it's only an ETA in this case. You have to account the dec. period for the holidays.
  • kapag ba gumamit ng forwarder wala na ni isang aasikasuhin sa Optical Media Board? plano kasing bumili ng SSD at HDD
    Pati pag may issue on arrival o kaya pa warranty pwede padaanin sa kanila sila na rin magaasikaso at requirement na lang eh bayaran sila at wala ng mga abubot na lalakaring papeles permit etsetera tas diretso na sa bahay delivery?
    pede rin bang day of creation ng account sa forwarder at no need ng verification, makaavail agad services same hour of that day
  • ^

    Depends on your luck or quantity. And no forwarder doesn't do any after service than what you are expecting on your items.

    You will prepare everything for your rma. You should backread more how forwarder works.
  • thanks to everyone na nagshare, sobrang big help

    just a question as I was backtracking - not seeing much of Johnny Air sa latest posts, this is a group which I have worked with well before COVID. Are they still active, or may mas magaganda ng option for Amazon orders na 100% safe.
  • Bit bummed that the two shipping services I use, My Shopping Cart and My Shipping Box, don't ship phones and escooter parts. Any alternatives?
  • not sure on where to post... pero may similar service din ba dito catering to things that can be bought in germany?
  • Sa nakabili na sa Dell US gamit Philippine credit card, ano nilalagay niyo sa billing address? Wala kasi option na Philippines??
