With eBay.ph, how does the item get to you if it's coming from China or HK?

Ito kasi perfected na ni Lazada. Regardless of where the seller is, it is delivered to my door, for free.

Usually by regular post, and you have to pick your item up at the post office after it clears customs.

Thought so. Walang pinagkaiba sa eBay.com (along with Amazon.com which I still use in conjunction with a US forwarding address) for items not available anywhere else.

Not meaning for this to become an eBay.ph vs Lazada but, the three things the latter trumps the former is their vast inventory, mostly-reasonable prices, and free door-to-door delivery (except for large items, furniture, appliances, etc.).

For locally-sourced items, I'd judge eBay.ph and Lazada more or less equal.

For China/HK purchases, I'd stick to Lazada for the speed and convenience of its deliveries, plus no more customs-related hassles and delays.

For U.S.-sourced items, Amazon is my go-to (either direct delivered, or sent to a relative abroad for loading to a balikbayan box). eBay.ph is also good for U.S. purchases, as long as the seller specifies "Customs services and international tracking provided" so that I can pay for the shipping+taxes at the point of purchase, and get the item delivered to my doorstep (usually via FedEx or DHL).

There was time, I ordered a few items from ebay ng sabay sabay. Post office sent a notice card, but not for all items I ordered. So I went to the post office, told them about the other items that I ordered. They handed me some log books (I think mga 3-4 logbooks) to look for my name. Hassle pa kasi iba iba ang handwriting, & there were others looking at the logbooks too, so you had to wait your turn. In this day & age, wala daw sila computer.
