The Mechanics for Philippine-based web surfer

Internet shopping is suppose to be for everyone. However, most international internet stores does not deliver to overseas addresses due to various reasons. Some of the companies do but the prohibitive cost of shipping discourages this method.

Some Pinoys go to the extend of asking their overseas friends and relatives to do the shopping, packaging, and shipping for them. But who would like to bother your busy friends and relatives while there is a bonded-professional company that could do it for you.

This is how it works:

You may aslo instruct us to consolidate your shipment into one of our balikbayan boxes. A minimal charge based on the work involved will be added to cover the cost of packaging materials and labor.
E-BALIKBAYAN BOX RATES

For electronics and taxable items, please email us ahead of time. As a general rule, items should not be more than 12 of a kind. Items that require AC Power to operate have a 10% tariff based on commercial invoice.

Ocean Cargo takes about 25-30 days to Metro-Manila. Add a few more days for provincial deliveries. If this is a RUSH Shipment. Air Cargo takes 3-5 days. Cut Off is Friday mornings.

AIR CARGO RATES

Please see the air cargo notations. Personnal goods are rated differently with taxable items. The weight and measure must also be taken into account.

III. PACKAGING: Whatever type of box you use, be assured that all your shipment will be checked for integrity and durability. All internet boxes are sealed, wrapped, and strapped by our reliable staff prior to being loaded to our ocean going containers.

Remember that you pay us for the size of the box and not the weigh for Ocean Cargo. However, make a note that if you will send the package via UPS or FedEx Ground using the e-balikbayan box shipping, their maximum weight is 150 lbs ( that's a lot of corned beef! ). This would give you an average of $20-$35 shipping cost from your place to our Los Angeles, CA hub. Write the ZIP Code down 90065.

For bulky items, we offer trucking services, please email us the details for bulk trucking rates.
