ONLINE STORES FOR BABY STUFF

[mcmcmacky]

^ i did that. I used Johnny Air Cargo. You can pay using your credit card, then sa shipping address you just put JAC's. They have branches in NY and NJ. my shipment arrived here in mnl 3 days after they received my package. There's also pobox.ph, but it will take a while since its via ocean cargo. Just google Johnny Air Cargo for their contact details.

^^ i've done it a few times and i use pobox.ph kasi no rush naman my items so ok lang sea freight instead of JAC's air freight.

i also like that they consolidate my purchases before they ship. may iba kasi, like manila forwarders i think, who ship as they receive, they don't consolidate.

so far no bad experience naman with pobox.

Yes, ako din. 1st time ko mag-try ng online purchase abroad (amazon) then thru Pobox.ph... am still waiting for my box though, i expect a week or 2 from May13...
Pansin ko lang, mas mahal ng konti ang singil sa Pobox (10-15usd) compared sa Forexworld, based sa estimate price from Forexworld for 2 boxes sana... kaya lang parang ang hirap makipag communicate sa Forexworld (paiba-iba, daming landlines and kapag may tanong ka by mail, nasa US pa [textspeak!] pinoy na sasagot, so, may time-delay).  Unlike Pobox, madaling ma-contact and mabilis mag-mail din (though fa-follow-up mo parin minsan)...

Sa Forexworld & Pobox, both dapat ma-deliver yung items mo sa US warehouse nila.  They don't do pickup sa store, even if you availed yung "We Shop, We Ship" nila na service... Yang service na yan, pwedi lang kung yung item ay pweding ma-deliver mismo sa US warehouse nila, kahit pa ilang metro lang ang layo nila sa store, hindi pwedi nilang pickup-pin...

^mcmcmacky , clueless , Cherry143 thanks po mga sis...

magkano naman kaya madadagdag sa charge ko...hay...hehe
ichecheck ko nga... thanks po uli...

^ check pobox.ph for their box sizes and rates. But he biggest standard box is about as big as a balikbayan box and costs $70 with delivery to your doorstep. Minimum nila is $30. if your item is in an odd-sized box (ie stroller), call them to ask for a quote.

When you shop at amazon, most items qualify for free super saver shipping if your purchases reach $25. Or sign up for amazon mom to get 3 months of prime membership for free shipping on prime items kahit di abot ng $25 ang purchases mo. These are all indicated on the item details.

Pero aralin mo din process ni pobox, check their website or call them, para pag nagcheckout ka sa amazon, you know what to do.

I have some items now bought from amazon, ebay.com, zappos.com. Most are already at the pobox warehouse. Hopefully makaalis yung box ko next week or week after next kasi mukhang di ako abof sa cutoff this week.

For me sulit ang pobox kung madami kang bibilhin pero kung konti lang, try the multipky sellers who do pre-orders kasi you can co-load with them sa box nila for a minimal fee.

[mcmcmacky]

For JAC - they charge $6/lb + $5 for the handling fee ; charge will differ for gadgets.

For my almost 2-kilo package (feeding bottles and other baby stuff), i paid around 2.5k. not bad i think.

actually, madaming online stores locally and abroad for baby stuffs, talagang tyagaan lang talaga sa paghahanap. ako kase karaniwan ng binibisita ko sa local is multiply marketplace, sulit, ayosdito, olx, SP marketplace. karaniwan sa mga forums may mga nagbebenta din ng mga items. super OK talaga, i bough my brand new avent IQ24 sterilizer for 2.5k dito sa GT. cheap na sya considering na it's brand new.

[chic_clothes]

^ super mura nung IQ24 mo sis
sis clueless nag try ka na sa mga rl or old navy site then deliver sa pobox? ok ba siya?

[clueless]

^ tine, rl.com doesnt accept our card. Oldnavy.com accepts our card but shipping must be direct to here. Ang mahql ng tax at shipping fee. I ordered via phone, our card then shipped to pobox. Yon pwede. If you want to do that, tip ko sayo lagay mo na cart mo lahat ng gusto mo para pag tumawag ka mabilis na. They just need the item number, size, quantity.

chic_clothes : uu nga sis. tyaga tyaga lang talaga. hehe

[mommycute46]

how about UK based online sellers on ebay? paano kaya shipment nila, super cheap kasi mga prices nila ng avent products, I'm planning to get bottles, sterilizers and breastpump sana kaya lang hindi ko alam kung paano shipping nila and how many days dararitng dito PH. btw. ecomlimited pala name ng site nila. Hope may makapgbigay ng feedback dito.thanks

[mommy gwen]

hi! 

pasali ha...any feedback on chilly cake baby's closet kung ok po...tia

The prices abroad are cheaper talaga kaya you're tempted to order everything: baby bottles, baby clothes, breastpumps, bath time needs like baby shampoo and other stuff. And then pati yung mga big items gusto mo dun na rin mag-order: cribs, playpen, stroller, carseats, potty trainers. Kalahati lang kasi ang price nila doon compared sa mall prices dito. I wanted to do this sana, order from Babies r us, have them ship the items to Pobox california warehouse, Pobox will consolidate and then ship my items. Nanghingi ako ng quote, WOW sa $300 ang magiging bill ko! That's for 1 small playpen, 1 stroller, 10 bottles, 1 breastpump, less than 2 kilos of baby clothes, small items like teats, teethers, cloth diaper pins, breastpads, a few bath shampoos and soaps and lotions. That's more than P12k for shipping! Nakatipid nga ako with the items pero ganun din ang gastos because of the shipping fee. In the end, dito na ko bumili ng mga gamit.

Tip: Mas mura mamili ng mga big items sa landmark compared sa SM. I got my Graco pack and play with musical mobile at Landmark for 9K. Benta nila nun sa SM is 13K, la pa mobile yun, same size and design. Mas mura din mga strollers and carseats. Clothes naman, i found this store in Divisoria 168 that sells yung mga items that we see sa mga online stores... [textspeak!] mothercare shoes nila 180 lang! those sell for 350-450 online kaya!

Konting effort lang malaki matitipid natin, especially ngayon, sa hirap ng buhay. Walk a little, do physical shopping minsan, dare the crowds sa Divisoria (go in the morning, wala masyado tao). Secure ka pa kasi personal mo na makita yung mga items na gagastusan mo ng pera, hindi ka yung disappointed pag dating nung items mo dahil hindi pala ganun kaganda sa personal, hindi pala ganun katingkad yung kulay, hindi pala kasya and such problems. It's more gratifying din, nakagala ka pa!

hello sis clueless,

I would like to ask if how long would it take delivery from warehouse to Philippines yung PObox? If andun na yung items sa warehouse, then ipapadala na dito sa Pinas? aabot ba ng 2 months? Sulit ba mag PObox if for example 10 items lang yung napurchase?

thanks sis,

carla

[clueless]

^ 5-6 weeks for the box to get here.

Kung sulit if 10 items lang, it depends on the size of the items. Kung 10pcs feeding bottles, hindi! kasi the smallest box is $30, dimensions must not exceed total of 43", that's length + width + height.
