^^ kinsa na forwarder ang nag send sa inyong items from u.s to phils? kang kinsang U.S. address inyong gigamit?

her ye.. her ye my deary...

aba aba hmmm mag tukod na jud nig mall si chic ay

anyways, okay here's my input:

FORWARDER: not really advisable. you will never know if the item/s you have ordered arrived at the warehouse or not, unless your seller provide a DELIVERY CONFIRMATION wherein YOUR signature is needed and you can trace it online. another to consider the one handling your cargo. is she to be trusted? when you parcel arrived at the warehouse, they will OPEN your box to check if the contents are not TAXABLE or belong to BANNED items. are you sure when it will be REPACKED, it is INTACK

the best is HAVE a relative, friend who will consolidate and send the items via BALIKBAYAN box. waiting period, 45-60 days.

USPS: this is wise although INSURANCE is required. if swertehon ka, P35 ra imong mabayran sa custom but dimalason gani taymingan pa jud og pataka lang og compute na teller aw expect to pay BLOATED custom tax and duties, pakapin pa kawatan imong items.

i paid once P1k++ for an imitation bead from china and P35 ONLY for a leather man pocket knife from US. waiting period 28-35 days, malason abot og 45 days.

HTH

PS: there are some sellers/site that don't offer DROP SHIPPING -yes that's what they term it if you are from somewhere else and that you will use other's addresses- like Victoria's Secret site.

one reason is SCAM. a lot of bogus buyers SCAM seller through drop shipping, claiming na wala nila ma receive ang items. that's what the DELIVERY CONFIRMATION is required to some. you will pay extra for this.

i am not discouraging anybody ha. but it's a FACT based on experience.

mao ba?? dili diay gyapon safe ang forwarders? yikes!! mygali na ingnan ko nimo ms.lau...

so in other words, the safest and cheapest way to have your goods sent here in p.i is shared balikbayan box?



OT: ois, niabot na gyud?! ikaw dapat ang magtukod ug mall ms.lau! hehe

[8_cRawlin_baby_8]

hmmm okay lang naman mag forwarders ka basta insured lang nimo tanan parcels and the balikbayan box itself.

budget kag 50K for a medium box and 100K for a jumbo box, total worth of items wa pay labot ang shipping & consolidation charges. kay di man sad na nila palargahon if d mapuno imong box so waiting period nimo ani moabot jud og 90 days including sa days nagpuyo imong parcel sa warehouse while waiting mapuno ang box. pinaspasay kag purchase online aron dali mapuno imong box. another to consider is the waiting period pud ig load sa box to the container. huwaton pa sad na sa taga forwarder mapuno ang container. PATIENCE is a virtue na aning dapita

mao ni akong gi term nimo before na 'usa ka ref ang moabot'

pero if binagsa lang, johny air will do but max weight nila is 2.2lbs only for P900++ tax inclusive na, via air pa. they accept cosmetics/makeups. $6.5 per lb excess. then freight collect pud meaning diri na nimo bayran ang freight charges ig abot, diha SM.

OT: wa pa jud manang. akong gi inquire wa sad mo reply. last info receive is tranferred to Cebu via sea. karon na jud siguro tong semanaha.

5grams if converted to lbs, wa ra kaabot sa ilang maximum ms chic. so imo mabayran kana rang P932. via air na sya ms chic dali ra na maabot, wa ray semana abot na na diri Cebu. contact johny air sa imong info kay mo provide na silag format sa pag gamit sa ilang address sa NY. then mo email ka nila informing them naa kay incoming parcel and mo pre-alert pud na sila nimo sa ETA

ang sea freight mao ang dugay, 45-60 days. mao nang USPS.
