Amazon.com - shopping, shipping, post office, customs Q&A

[oReOsHaKe]

I can vouch for JAC... very friendly and efficient service.  I suggest you ship your amazon orders to the new york office for faster shipping time.

Happy New Year to all!

I just checked a moment ago.. Packages from Amazon shipped to NY have taxes still.. So NJ pa rin tau..

Yup! That's correct! That's why I always course my orders to JAC NJ, para siguradong walang tax!

I just remebered that, "back in the day," as long as your order was below $50 and you used the cheapest shipping option, Royale Logistics would deliver your Amazon order straight to your door.  So has this changed?

My wife saw that everything is on sale at gap and she had my-shoppingbox.com handle it, madali daw kausap may office kasi sila dito manila. so i tried it with my golf club, it was quick and easy.

Delivery direct to your doorstep rarely happens nowadays. Normally, all items shipped thru Royale Logistics go directly to the Post Office of your Municipality...and depending on the item, you will be charged a customs fee.

I just turned my old BDO savings account into a debit/atm account and will get my card by the end of this month. I was wondering can I use it to shop on Amazon.com. Also is debit and atm mean the same thing? I know I should asked first but had stuff on my mind. Thanks In Advance.

[jojitv]

AFAIK, as long as it's a VISA or MASTERCARD, it should work with amazon. A debit card works just like a credit card. The only difference is that for debit cards, you should have funds in them. You can only charge up to how much you have deposited. And it should also work like an ATM card.

Is Royale Logistics still in business?

Mukha nga ok ito.  Lot cheaper if you're willing to wait.

Nag try na rin ako mag order sa amazon.com and yes Royal Logistics sya at dineliver pa sa house namin. Pero isang order ko sa amazon.de kinuha ko sa post office nagbayad lang ako ng 35 pesos. 

[bpljr2]

im new to this site/forum, i have to questions, una, magkano ba talaga ang dapat ibayad pag nag pick up tayo ng small packet (galing abroad) sa  post office, may nabasa ako dito na atleast 1k, pero sa laguna 35 pesos lang, ano ba ang tama? and can i have the email address of royale logistics

Bro Kung Hindi kasi taxable yun item mo or less than $50 ang value dapat P35 ang bayad storage fee yata yun tawag dun. Bro I suggest you use JAC para less hassle at maka iwas ka sa buwaya sa post office.

Just wondering if you already tried ordering to amazon using your BDO atm card? TIA!

[obelix]

sa mandaluyong basta less than $50 yung package (incl shipping) no customs charges, just the 35 peso storage/processing fee ang bayad mo.

[vinci]

noob question.
im planning to buy an item online.
have it shipped to my relative in california.

are there any add on expenses i need to be prepared of?like sales tax, etc.

[TOY 01]

[vinci]

Hi guys, question lang
First time ko kasi mag-Amazon, yung previous orders ko kasi were from Alibris, Tower, DVDasian, ebay. Never ako nagbayad ng tax sa post office for those orders and they were delivered directly to my house. Never ako naka-receive ng notice na I have to pick my items sa post office. Kapag amazon ba mas "takaw-pansin" ang packages (if you know what I mean) kaya napag-iinitan ng mga tao sa post office (based sa previous posts I read from this thread)?  I ordered two items (1 Blu and 1 CD).

sir ang pagkaalam ko pag more than $50 yung package don lang magkakaron ng tax. Then Php 35 babayaran for handling fee.

wow, nakaligtas ako, $48.95 

[edgarryan]

Bumili din ako sa e-bay dati ng complete set ng West Wing, worth around P4,000 yata.  Nung pagkuha ko sa Post Office sa Manila, pinagbabayad ako ng more than P1,000 in tax.  Nabigla ako sa laki.  Pinakita pa sa akin yung computation.  Noong nakita nilang government employee din ako, bigyan ko na lang daw ng pang-meryenda yung mga tao.  Hehehe.

Medyo may inconsistency din pag sa internet nag-order.  Minsan, pinapakuha pa sa akin sa PO, minsan, deretso na sa akin.

Hey guys,

I noticed Amazon is finally shipping Electronics, Video games and other selected items internationally. But as you would have guessed, it's expensive. I tried placing Final Fantasy XIII on my cart just to check how much the total shipping cost would be and here's the breakdown:

Items:         $59.99
Shipping & Handling:    $35.98
Pre-order Guarantee:    -$0.00
Promotion Applied:    -$0.00
Promotion Applied:    -$0.00
    
Total Before Tax:      $95.97
Estimated Tax:*      $0.00
Import Fees Deposit    $16.89

Order Total: $112.86

I don't think anyone will switch from JAC yet. 

Anyway, you can read more about it here: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=230659011

Why are concert blu-rays more expensive to ship? Normal movie blurays, EVEN the big special edition ones, costs only an additional 4$, concert blurays are up to another 8$.

[reinerr]

I love amazon.com! I chose the cheapest shipping option and had my blu and cd shipped by February 2. Guess what? They arrived last Friday, February 12. Ten days lang! And they were not supposed to arrive until the 3rd of March as amazon has estimated.  They were also delivered directly to our house without me having to pay for any additional fees. 

Pero sa amazon ko lang naexperience na nakalagay sa labas ng box kung ano ang items sa loob pati yung prices nila. kaya pala hindi nakakatakas yung mga beyond $50.

Standard procedure na yata ang pagde-declare ng items sa Amazon sir,
but yes, you are correct, Amazon has some of the best deals,
and you are always secured when buying and ordering from them.

Kind regards,
ABC
