All about INTERNATIONAL Shipping / Express Mail Service (EMS) Service

[cheskacruz]

I'm going to buy some items from China, ano ba pwede ko gamitin to have them shipped here aside from EMS? The items are just clothes lang naman, nagtrial order muna ako.

any suggestion naman kung anong cheapest courier going to Dubai? May mga nag oorder kasi ng clothes sa akin. Ayoko naman via post office napaka inconvenient for me na magpunta pa ng post office para magpadala. Yun sanang nagpipick up din sa bahay

EMS is the cheapest. pero you can try DHL, FedEx. Goodluck with taxes though.

[_AiaH_]

for EMS, san kayo bumibili ng box to put your stuff in? I'm planning on getting my mom ship some stuff to me kasi and may ibang liquids... so papawrap ko na lang ng bubble wrap then towel yun liquids...

di ko lang sure san makakuha ng box... meron bang box na pwede na bilhin sa post office? Or sa national bookstore? Sorry wala talaga akong idea

Yes sis. EMS is a service run by government postal corporation. Kahit saang bansa, kapag EMS, it means sa gov't post nila yun. Like in Korea, EMS is by Korea Post. In China, EMS is by china post, in Ireland, by Anpost.

@[-c-h-a-],

they will supply the box. babayaran mo lang, 60php ata. i'm not sure if depende sa laki or standard na yun. they do the packing also. when you bring the items dun, dapat hindi nakabalot pa sa box or something dahil iinspect nila at papabuksan.

[[-c-h-a-]]

^ah cool! Thanks! Kelangan ba sa pasay office pumunta pag magshi-ship using EMS or local PO lang pwde na?

[_AiaH_]

^ Local PO sis..

Oo nga sis, yan ang problem ko yung tax, baka mas mahal pa sa babayaran ko... Hehe

hi mga sis. Kamusta na ang Manila Phil Post? I stopped buying from US mga a year or two na, usually pinapa-coload ko nalang sa balikbayan boxes. Pero now may gusto ako bilin ulet. Ano na ba yun max amount bago ma-charge? cosmetic items lang naman, 1 of each.

[cheskacruz]

Question po, pwede rin ba natin matrack ang EMS package kapag dumating na dito sa Phils? Aside from the ems tracking nung country na pinanggalingan.

[_AiaH_]

^ yung country na pinaggalingan sis will update the tracking until delivery. Unfortunately, yung EMS natin dito, doesn't have a website where you can track items
So far, I've tried USPS EMS, China EMS, Korea EMS, until delivery sakin updated.

Thanks sis. EMS Japan nga ginamit ko natrack ko nga until madeliver sa akin. Chaka mabilis lang [textspeak!] pagupdate nila.

^naku don't use DHL mga sisses.. grabe yung tax nila.. mas mahal pa sa item. Before we ordered 1 book kasi hindi available locally and matagal kapag irequest sa powerbooks.. worth P1500+ yung book plus SF of DHL around P2K+... pagdating dito ayaw irelease ng DHL until we pay P1800+ na tax. DHL kasi yung courier gamit nung bookstore kapag international so no choice that time and kailangan talaga yung book. 

[kim_trasher07]

^ parang ganyan din nangyari sa amin before pero sa fedex naman. we were charge P3700 sa
tax for a small box like sa box ng gamot.

Is there anyone who tried importing from China? Can you tell me which website did you ordered from? (Alibaba, Aliexpress etc.) Thanks.

[_AiaH_]

^ hirap nyan sis, aliexpress seems okay. may makikita ka pa feedback from other buyers. yung alibaba parang kahit sino pwede magregister eh.

Here is my personal opinion:

I highly do not suggest alibaba to newbies. You are better off with Aliexpress due to the fact that you can review feedbacks, how many times a particular item has been sold etc.

With Alibaba, there is no "middle person" during the transaction. It is you and the merchant. The positive: you get great deals. The negative: no chance of telling if the merchant is fraudulent or not until the merchant runs off with your money.
