Yup. May premium talaga yung nandito na kaagad. Kaya lang ang dami rin nilang nalulumang stock tapos ibebenta din nila ng sale. Tapos di rin naman ganun kamura sale nila. So naninilaw na, di pa rin mabenta.

I always buy where it is cheaper. It does not matter if it will take me months to get it

In this case I might order sa US na lang, just because they have samples. Although, I have bought an accessory that costs P850 here pero $70 sa US

Sabi nga ng Kuya ko I should try online selling. I don't buy imported clothes, bags, shoes or makeup items from online sellers, syempre may patong sa sila (ako na lang bibili abroad hehe) and I am never sure that it is 100% authentic.

Naku wala akong alam sa makeup. ☺

Why don't you try online selling? The ones that a relative sells are region limited releases kaya nabebenta nya at a premium. And not much pressure to lower pricing because there aren't a lot of those around.

It really depends on the supplier at Shoppee. It just so happens that there is a supplier that sells it for a much lower price. Maybe, it's already their last stock. If they have the same price as Lazada, then, I'll go for Lazada anytime because you get to pay by CC.

They have Meguiars product at true value? I haven't seen any of their product line in Makati. What I see mostly are Mother's and Turtle Wax.

yes they do.

they've got a whole slew of meguiar's product line at true value. i've been buying meguiar's paraphernalia from their atc branch for quite some time now.

you can also purchase meguiar's stuff at blade stores too

Main difference I think is scale.

The Civic sold almost 400,000 units in 2017. The entire philippines didn't even do that well.

So car manufacturers in the USA can afford to lower their prices since sagot sa sheer numbers yung overhead, admin and some of their logistical costs.

Lack of scale, and yung ridiculous excise tax naten is what I think contributes to the higher car prices here.

Also possibly applies to the price of general merchandise you see sa ibang bansa.

Thanks for the info bro! I'll try ATC as I don't think they have this at their Makati branch.
