    But nothing is more convenient than my Aunt doing it for me It takes me months to fill up a large box kasi.

    Don't they charge depending on the size and weight of the item?

    Convenient for you, yes. But you did say she is 80 yrs old.

    Yes - they charge by volumetric weight.

    She's a healthy 80+ year old. No maintenance meds whatsoever She just doesn't have the patience to comply with all the new requirements. Even I don't want to list down all the items and the price Too fcking tedious and they'd probably tax it when all those are personal use naman

    I buy heavy items

    They are trying to discourage technical smuggling ... a lot of online stores that sell items from abroad, specifically US, use Balikbayan boxes to ship their goods ... there's a reason why it's called a Balikbayan box ... it's a benefit for OFWs ...

    Many cargo forwarding companies give you about 30 days to fill up your box ... plus they also have a smaller box so you won't need 30 days to fill them up ... anyway, you did say you save about 50% by purchasing your items abroad so why not pay a small convenience fee to a shipping company? ...

    Bakit mas modern and convinient? Ilan days dumating pinadala mo? May nababasa kasi ako nawala daw items.

    Tama ba per pound $7+$10. So para mamaximize kaya ba isang eneloop charger, dalawa supplements, isang flashlight.

    hindi available locally lahat gusto ko.

    - yung eneloop charger kasi na model na gusto ko eh kahit 1battery slot eh 300mah lang. Sobrang bagal pero mas matagal buhay battery.

    - dalawa liquid supplements. Wala sa healthy options, wala sa cash and carry.

    - isang fenix flashlight.

    Kung pwede ko sana dagdagan loafer.

    Kaya hirap pag hindi makausap.

    Buy Eneloop charger here ... same price or small difference only ... check olx ... sometimes Photo stores sell Eneloop batteries cheaper ...

    shippingcart is more convenient because you can check the status of your shipment on their website ... have sent several items even during Dec peak season ...

    Ano ba ginagmit ng mga resellers?

    Iyong medyo marami ang padala. Kung By sea pero gaano maman katagal ang paglalayag at anong shipper ang preference nila?

    do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

    Amazon charges 99 USD for prime for free shipping and to access other items in their catalog. Walmart doesn't charge anything but you need buy a minimum amount before you get free shipping.
