^sis, johnny air. para sure ipaquote mo sa kanila, they have a branch in megamall.

kung 15" ang volume weight (parang ang liit hehe), 15/166 wala pang 1lb.

so gagamitin nyan is yung minimum nila na 2lbs x 7.50 pag electronic items = $15 + $5 (handling fee) = you'll be paying $20, they use actual forex, kaya mas ok. hindi padded.

nasa less 1k pay mo if via johnny air, all inclusive na yun.

sis help m nman ako may johnny air ba sa new orleans?kase magpapadala [textspeak!] notebuk sken atsaka digicam sana kaya lang di nya lam kung san affordable n mgapadala at safe....kase yung frend nya nagpdala ipod may fee n sya binayaran sa us pag dating dito pinas almost 5k pa binayaran nya...?can u help me sis.....?

^this might be late reply but I'll answer it anyway.

yung electronic gadget from US was purchased from Amazon. sa NY office ng JohnnyAir ko pinadeliver at saka sila ang nag-ship papunta dito. it was an ebook reader.

sa mga laptop at ipod, malaki ang service fees na i-china-charge. Not sure if $25 or $50. Plus the charge fees ng item. check the JohnnyAir.com site for more info

hi, i have a friend sa us na bibili sana ng mga vctoria secrets and bbw there. pag ba sa balikbayan box pinadala wala na syang tax? im wondering kase baka mamaya magbayad pa ako ng tax.. saka sa tingin nyo ilang bottles kaya ng mga pabango at lotion ang magkakasya sa balikbayan box, say medium to jumbo? and how much yung cost ng shipping and handling papunta dito sa pinas. thanks!!

^ so far i've never been taxed for any of the boxes i've sent to manila... i dunno how many VS and BBW bottles can fit in a box but im pretty sure that it will be too heavy for the box to handle or for you to move it... i remember a shipping co.'s reminder, something like - remember that a person will carry your box, not a carabao. haha!

pag west coast to manila the rate is between $45 - 65 depending on the shipping co.

thanks sis for the reply... pag nag order kase ako online siguro mga 3-4bottles of cologne in 1 kilo.. so kung 50 kilos mga 150bottles.. sa estimate mo sis magkakasya kaya yun?

sana nga indi mataxan kase pag ganon sayang naman yung mga ipapabili ko kung haharangin rin lang ng custom..

twelve5 · « **Reply #145 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:03:14 pm »

^ when you order online from vs, the colognes and lotions arrive individually boxed... sa store kasi no box di ba... i think the 150 bottles would fit in 1 bbox... it would be heavy though... so reinforce your bbox. use heavy-duty packaging tape. pati yung seam at folds ng box lagyan mo ng tape para di bumigay.

our customs use xray to scan containers... so timing-timing lang yan at depende sa pangangailangan ng examiner.

usually pag bbox, di naman ata nata-tax... nakukulangan lang daw minsan ng content.

May alam ba kayo ng from Pinas naman to abroad? Kasi nung nagbakasyon ako Pinas dami pa naiwan na gamit...

Interested din ako dito. I may not be able to bring all my things abroad kung aasa lang ako sa allowed baggage weight ng PAL.

dun sa mga nasa US, avoid CARGO PLUS.

grabe yung sa kaibigan ko, boxes sent from Atlanta GA, 2 months na wala pa!

hi mga sis, im planning to buy online 2-3 pairs of Aerosole & cole Haan Shoes and Cole Haan / Michael Kors bag. Malaki ba ang tax nito? im planning Johnny Air, or can u suggest other forwarders

Also can u pls help give me an idea how much it would cost to ship considering the items above.

Thanks much!!!

lelila · « **Reply #151 on:** August 23, 2010, 03:05:03 pm »

sis, sabi ng customs, lahat na ng items may tax. branded pa naman mga yan, delikado ka sa mga taga dun. you're better off with johnny air.

fibia · « **Reply #152 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:23:48 pm »

^mga magkano kayq aabutin sa johnny air?

lelila · « **Reply #153 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:45:44 pm »

sis depende kase sa bigat and size ng mga boxes mo yun, di po kita masasagot dyan.

if makikita mo naman yung weight ng items mo pwede mo macompute ang estimate

$6 per lbs sya + $5 flat rate for processing fee + 12% vat

actual weight or volume weight [(LxWxH)/166] whichever is higher

kung 8lbs halimbawa ang actual weight, 8lbs x $6 = $48 + $5 = $53 x 46exchange rate = 2,438 + 292.56 (12% VAT) = = 2,730.56

ngayon pag bulky ang package mo, yung volume weight malamang ang magamit

like 40" x 5" 8" (haha, sorry example lang, ewan kung anong shape yan)

30x 5 x 8 = 1,600 / 166 = 9.63lbs

instead na 8lbs sa computation above, yung 9.63lbs gagamitin

again, hypothetical lahat ng weight na ginamit ko ha. you have to check with the store you'll be buying. minsan pwede mo itanong eh, or minsan upon checkout makikita mo size ng binili mo

lelila · « **Reply #154 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:48:01 pm »

before, buyers have option na wag humingi ng Official Receipt from Johnny air, para di machargean ng 12% VAT. now hindi na pwede, required na sila to issue receipts.

fibia · « **Reply #155 on:** August 23, 2010, 10:29:06 pm »

@lelila thanks po for the inputs. so mas tipid ba pag balikbayan box yung ginamit, kasi dba flat rate lang yun?

lelila · « **Reply #156 on:** August 24, 2010, 11:47:42 am »

yes mas tipid of course, if you're not in a hurry to receive those stuff, bbox is super ok. you can buy some more things pa. I use JA lang for small items and if I want to get the items fast. We get our computer cables from the US kase thru johnny air. so suki na ako LOL

fibia · « **Reply #157 on:** August 26, 2010, 09:46:36 pm »

^ san po ba reliable magsend ng balikbayan box, johnny air din ba? Magkano naman abutin nun?

lelila · « **Reply #158 on:** August 26, 2010, 10:15:54 pm »

johnny air has bbox din, but i think 40days sila

fibia · « **Reply #159 on:** August 28, 2010, 06:18:16 am »

So pag johnny air and u buy the BB from them they will consokidate din for u?
