Online shopping

^Yeah, I am lucky to have a sibling who works at home 

Ako naman I stay clear of our local postal service. Naku andami ko na na-encounter na mga horror stories dun from the duties/tax computation to lost and pilfered items. I used to work in the airline cargo industry and we used to deal with PH post office and customs people  I still feel comfortable with couriers either air or sea.

^ so far, once pa lang ako nasingil ng tax for ASOS purchase and that was when I bought over £50 worth. Nasa php1k din yung in-assess na tax sa akin sa QC Post Office. First time order ko kasi yun. Sa succeeding orders ko, I only order around £30 or less at a time na lang, and di pa ako nasisingil ng tax pag ganung worth lang.. I choose from the sale/discounted stuff para mura. Hehe..

Thanks for the info! I guess swertehan lang if you get taxed or not but i guess if i really really like something from ASOS, would make sure na mura lang

How I wish there was a European version of JAC. Sabi nga ni hubby that would be a good business.

Share ko lang, a few years ago, we got a 3D camera and a 3D viewer from Amazon ans it was sent through the post office of Makati. The camera was more expensive and it arrived with no taxes or duties pero yung viewer na hold sa customs and we had to pay php3500 for taxes. Asked someone to pick it up and haggle for us, we ended up paying php3000 pero php2500 lang sa receipt.

I got my package form nordstrom na. Ang ironic lang kasi mas nauna pa dumating yung package from us kesa hk. Haha, pero di ako natutuwa. Patay lang talaga sa taxes and shipping fee. Saka di sila nagshiship ng EL, Chanel, Clinique.. Pero okay naman sya overall. Happy na rin.

Ok naman ba sa Johnny Air? Yung parcel ba dedeliver na ba agad yan at home without paying taxes and custom fees anymore?

Hi sisses, nag aaccept ba Target ng phil issued (BPI) cc?

sorry i know this answer is too late but i will reply na din for info.

yes, target accepts PH-issued cards. but the thing is, they don't ship to forwarders like po box because there have been cases of fraudulent transactions daw being shipped to such. so when i order from target, i have them shipped to a friend's house and don't use a forwarder.

Hi sis, for walmart dapat pagkasyahin mo yung whole billing address sa line 1 and 2.. yung city, state and zip same lang as shipping address. Worked for me.

sadly, this did not work for me. but i will try again nga.

[little_princess]

^^ Happy with JAC naman, no additional taxes and you can ask your contact person there to do a quote for you before you order.

Anyone tried ordering from net-a-porter? its free shipping worldwide na

I got my package from strawberrynet na. Yung akala kong masstuck sa customs. hehe. Kanina my local post office texted me tapos nakuha ko na. I paid 100 lang kasi 2 boxes yun, yung isa from Benefit u.s. Happyyyy! Although di ko namalayan dalawa pala na-order ko nung isang item.

[owstalaga]

anyone tried myus.com? Okay ba yun kesa my-shoppingbox.com? Or parehas lang na maganda service nila?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ lucky you, di ka in-assess ng tax.. sang city ka sis? Mukhang ok jan ah..

[budzwhiz]

^ Onga e sis! Pero may 2 package pa ko from strawberry so sana wala rin. Nasa province ako ngayon sis, kaya siguro wala. haha! Buti nalang.

a friend of mine from states wants to buy from the apple store po. apple store asia .. ok lang po ba yung regular home address yung ilalagay nya ? do they deliver straight door to door?  at totoo bang 24 hrs yung shipmnt anywhere sa philippines? sana may sumagot..

[keilovescookies]

question lang to the other sisses na nakapag purchase na from amazon, did you notice if medyo mataas ang conversion rate nila compared to other online sites??

[clueless]

^ mataas nga that's why i opt to make my purchases in USD.

[kwang sun]

anyone tried lazada here??? naiinis ako sa service nila ha.. ang higpit lalo na't iba yung billing address at recipient's address.. parang ayaw nila irelease yung item eh nabayaran na yun gamit ang paypal argh

[little_princess]

I got na my package from JAC, super happy with my purchase from Saks. Paid 3200+ for a bag and a shirt in a big box. there are a lot of shipment that came in yesterday and overflowing na yung place nila in Megamall plus a lot of customers with short temper

[budzwhiz]

^^ Naka two transactions na ko from Lazada sis, so far no prob naman. Magkaiba din ginagamit kong add.

[kwang sun]

Sa Beauty Bay naman ako badtrip na badtrip ngayon. My first order before, last month, only took 13 days to arrive. Ngayon, it's been 20 days na, wala pa! bad thing is, walang tracking. Waiting for my 2nd, 3rd and 4th packages. Hay. BT talaga magc-Christmas na. Kaasar! Wala pang kwenta customer service nila.
