Tantiyado

Simula nang magsara ang SecondSpin sa US, naghagilap na ako ng ibang online store na mabibilhan ng CDs at DVDs. Karamihan sa mga nakita ko ay hindi nagshi-ship internationally kaya I decided to look for a shipping service na magkakaroon ako ng address for that country, then they will consolidate my items at sila na ang bahalang magpadala sa Pilipinas. Todo research ako kung ano ba ang best for my needs and budget. Some are very expensive dahil depende sa bigay ang presyuhan, lalo na kung by air ang mode of shipment. Kaya matapos ang ilang linggong pagbabasa ng feedback at pagkukumpara ng iba't ibang shipping companies, I decided to use Pinoyboxdelivery.

Linawin ko lang na hindi sponsored post ito. I rarely get that so this is all based on my experience with them. 

Una, sign up on their website, open a box and you can start shopping! Don't forget to use their warehouse address as your shipping address. For example: I shopped in eBay UK, ang ginamit kong address ay ang UK address ng Pinoyboxdelivery. Please note that if you are paying using a bank card, the billing address should be the address that you have with your bank. Magkaiba ang shipping address sa billing address huh! Baka magkaaberya eh. 

After paying for the item/s, just list it on their website para alam nila na may parating na package under your name. Provide the Item Name, Courier Name, Tracking Number (if available) and Description. Magiging Pending ang status ng item hangga't hindi nila natatanggap. Kung may extra budget ka pa, go, shop pa more and list pa more.

My box when it arrived last month

One of the best features of their site is the Box Fullness. Sa tuwing natatanggap nila ang items mo, updated ka kung how much space pa ang available for your other orders. In case na hindi magkasya, pwede kang mag-upgrade ng box. You can even request for pictures. Ang bait ng customer service nila!

Customers have 30 days from the date of the first item received to fill the box. After that, may fee na babayaran. Kaya bago ka pa mag-open ng box sa kanila, dapat tantiyado mo na kung ilang araw ang shipment ng items. At eto pa, no weight limit. AS IN! But ideally, dapat kaya ng dalawang tao na buhatin ang box for proper handling.

Kapag satisfied na sa pinamili, you can pay for the box and request for shipment. All you need to do is wait for the arrival! May tracking number na ibibigay sa'yo to monitor the package.

Since hindi ito by air, may katagalan ang paghihintay. I waited 2 months for my box to arrive. Pero kung hindi ka naman atat, Pinoyboxdelivery is for you.

Heto ang tips ko kung gagamit kayo ng kahit anong third-party shipping services - read their FAQs and terms & conditions carefully. Kung may hindi naintindihan, send a message on their social media pages. You also need to know if the item you will buy is allowed by law. May limit sa number of quantity at para iwas tax, dapat hindi lalagpas sa 10 kiyaw. Baka tagain tayo ng Customs. 'YUN NA!
