    Anybody here tried to buy/ship from this site for car accessories, parts, etc? - AliExpress.com - Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles from China.


    * Is it safe?
    * Pag pasok sa pinas nung order mo, magbabayad ka pa ba sa customs?
    * Gaano usually katagal hinihintay bago dumating yung order?


    Kindly share your experiences

    1. Safe naman.
    2. Merong maliit na office ang Bureau of Customs sa PhilPost. Sila nagsasabi kung meron o walang duties or tax na babayaran. Minsan meron din na postal fee na binabayaran kahit free postage ang sabi ni AliExpress.
    3. Kung China, yung postal notice dumarating within 45 days. Then go to the designated Philpost office.

    I only do this kung talagang walang local distributor ng product sa Pinas. Local distributors here normally get volume discounted prices kaya almost same price din kung ikaw nag-import.
    Meron ka pa mas reliable warranty kung sa kanila mo binili.

    imho, may bayad sa customs ang inorder mo, via the post office..... usually, the cost of the customs tax is equal to the value of the item as per my experience.... kaya doble ang cost.

    so you should only do this kung wala na talagang options locally.

    Safe bumili sa AliExpress.com. Ang hindi lang assured ay yung quality ng product. Kung naka tsamba ka ng kupal magbenta, sorry ka na lang.

    Yup. Recently I claimed an item from the post office. The value of the item was GBP 9.16 (PHP667.87) I paid P150 in tax + P100 handling fee. The tax was almost 25% of the value of the item.

    found the receipt here's the breakdown

    P100 for philpost handling fee

    custom duty is 7% of declared/assessed value

    then E-vat

    -declared/assessed value + custom duty of 7% + P15 documentary stamp x 12%

    custom duty + evat= yan ang total na babayran mo sa BOC

    ^ check seller feedbacks by other buyers.
    i bought a lot of stuff there - including phone lcd replacments,
    dashcams and bulk electronic parts (like fuses) - so far never had any problems.
    i have the items shipped to singapore - no tax as long as total values is less then 400 SGD.

    Safe na safe. Meron naman buyer's protection and alipay.

    Meron bayad lahat ng pumasok dito. P100 agad Sa handling fee ng post office then BOC meron sila computation and you need to bring your CC statement or pakita mo na lang Sa aliexpress app yun binayad mo.

    Ang free sa taxes eh less than P10. [emoji23] sobrang luma na yun batas

    I bought an item from Aliexpress (one of several over a span of one year). I chose shipping through registered mail because it's free. In the past, I used the private international carriers like DHL. This item, bought in August, has not arrived. I don't know if it got lost and if so where. I don't want to consider theft in our local post office because my item could have been lost somewhere. But I feel DHL and the like is still safer. But to pay a premium.

    Anyone has recent experience buying items from AliExpress? I find the prices much better than Lazada or Shoppee. It's just a question of how much do you pay local charges (local taxes, customs or handling fess, etc) as AliExpress delivery is free.

    Can you share your experience?
    How much was your item and did you have to pay local post office?
    Was it delivered to your address or did you have to pick it up from post office?

    Would appreciate your guidance before I make my first purchase with AliExpress.

    Thanks.

    There is a 112.00 pesos handling fee ... usually no tax if value is low ... you just have to wait longer for delivery ... sometimes 30 days or more ... if package is small, the postman will probably deliver it depending on your area ...

    It's better to leave some cash to whoever is at home ... in case the postman delivers the package ... otherwise, you'll have to go get it at the post office ...

    Ordered two items separately ... first one was delivered after about 30 days ... the second item only 10 days ... both less than US$10, free shipping ... when first item arrived, was not able to leave payment so the postman left the receipt for the item to be claimed at post office ... the second one, made sure the people at home had 112.00 payment ...

    Requested the postman to re-deliver the first package and he obliged ... but after 10 days of waiting decided to go get it at post office ... turns out the package was set to be delivered already so could've saved time by waiting ...

    Items below 10k from the same merchant are tax-free
    Same as Lazada, item dispatch could be hit or miss depending on the merchant (delays)
    Php112 for every package
    You pick it up in the post office, they do not deliver

    Safe but you should always look at seller rating.
    Customs duty are only for items worth more than Php10,000. Below that, you have to pay Php112 sa post office (kung china mail ang shipping).
    Small items lang naoorder ko at dumadating siya two weeks maximum.

    From facebook:

    Sample Basic Computation on Imported Items (Apparels) - TAKE NOTE MAG-IIBA CUSTOMS DUTY RATE PAG SPARE PARTS NA

    Dutiable Value(L.C.) :P 33,900.00
    X Rate of Duty : .15%
    = Customs Duty : 5,085.00

    Dutiable Value : 33,900.00
    + Customs Duty : 5,085.00
    + CDS : 265.00
    + IPF : 250.00
    = Evat Base : 39,500.00
    X Evat Rate : .12%
    = Evat : 4,740

    Summary:
    Customs Duty :P5,085.00
    Evat : 4,740
    CDS : 265.00
    IPF : 250.00

    Total Tax Due :P10,340

    My experience is anything above $499 may tax na at hahanap na ng importation papers. Usually sinasabi ko sa seller na ibaba yung price sa receipt.

    Hi,

    I would also recommend galleon.ph as an alternative since they sell stuff that are hard to find, even car parts. Plus their prices are all in, you can send them the link of your order from alibaba and they'll get it for you. Easier overseas shopping if you'd ask me.

    You're welcome.
