im confused, when i called up forexworld before, sabi nila same lang daw sila ng pobox.  but then again, if ever magkaiba sila and walang surcharge sa electronic item, im transferring my shipments to forexworld.

yun ang quote nila sa akin sa shipping ng panasonic pt-ar100 when it was sold at $999 pa. sa forex, shipping lang pero sa pobox may dagdag na $40, tariff ng electronics daw. not sure kung fix ang tariff or depending on item cost

i am ok with po box, my contact there is celine. and she's ok naman, sometimes you need to shoot her a couple of emails before she gets back to you, but im use to it.

what i dont like lately, is it takes around 5 weeks for my packages to arrive from the 3-4 weeks. although celine did explained to me that custom clearance now takes more time than usual since they really scrutinize balikbayan boxes now not like in the past.

but overall, im happy. just gets a little impatient pag excited na sa laman ng padala.  ;D

Brader Iinas,

Which customs clearance are referring to? Dito si Philippines or sa US?

Yung latest package ko sa PoBox, more than one week na na ganito ang status sa Forexworld:

Status    :   HOLD FOR INSPECTION
Current Location    :   U.S CUSTOMS, LOS ANGELES, CA

First time kong nakita eto as status among the packages I sent. Nung in-email ko si Celine, sabi niya this is normal, pero nagtataka lang ako at 1 week na.

Btw, I was charged $60 for tariff, according to her, because it's electronic equipment that they assess to be more than $1200 in value. First time ko na-charge for tariff. All my previous packages wala.

Customs dito sir gaol...

Kung may kamag anak ka sa states mas maganda kung diretso sa Forex mo na papa pick up yung package... Less hassle... Never akong nag ka hassle on my shipment and no additional payments whatsoever. My latest shipment was my Panasonic PJ shipped in it's original box.. Nagtagal lang sa Customs dito nang 5 days pero thats about it..

Regarding sa tariff, nagpaquote ako kanina sa pobox ng onkyo 616 and onkyo 818. Celine told me that for onkyo 616 it's $10 while for the onkyo 818 it's $40. But if it is combine in 1 package the total tariff will be $60. Ang laki ng difference ng tariff between 616 and 818.

Sa forex wala nga tariff unless the eletronic you bought is above $2500 as per the CSR told me. mas cheaper tlga ang forex kaysa sa pobox.

Thanks for the tip bro. Actually my wife's sister lives an hour away from LA. Pero dyahe lang kasi she spends her day looking after her 18 month old daughter halos wala na siyang ibang maatupag. Okay naman din ako sa PoBox, before this latest package, I had some school materials shipped directly to the LA address and na-process ng walang hassle and walang tariff. Less than 1 month after it shipped dumating dito; and  they delivered it a day after  it arrived at their Cainta warehouse. Mabilis.

With the latest package, it's actually two of the same item that they packed into 1 big box. They charged me $70 for the box plus $60 tariff = $130. Parang na charge lang ako separately per box ng $65. Hindi ko na pina-insure. Mas worried ako about the customs inspection sa US since first time ko na-encounter yun.

Unacceptable experience for my first shipment.  It took them 2 weeks (from arrival of the package in Manila) to finally have my package shipped to Davao.  It will take another 5 days for the package to arrive here in Davao.  Not good.. Even assuming that the weather last week was really bad, it should not take them 2 weeks to ship out my package.

that's the problem with provincial shipping. like mine, it took them 2 weeks to ship the box to tacloban then God knows how many days of waiting for the delivery to ormoc. in fact i have not received a direct shipment to ormoc yet because i always collect them from their tacloban warehouse. i would have to drive 2 hrs (one way) and back just to get the box, atat na kasi ;D.

i found a solution to this issue by making their office in manila as the final destination. then i will arrange a local courier (by land or sea) to pick the box. less hassle and cost to me because their provincial shipping fee of $15 is just about the same fee for sea cargo.

Will do this next time...  And reason nila it takes 1 - 2 weeks daw for the customs to inspect the package..  ???

I am using http://www.forexcargouk.com/ for all my shipments from UK. Just like to ask if same company kaya eto with that of the US. I had 3 boxes shipped by them and no problems encountered, 30 days pa bago ko binabayaran invoice by BDO account though they have paypal and you absorb fees.

Prompt naman sila magbigay ng invoice kasi once you agree to pack the box and sched for next shipment meron nako agad invoice. Good handling and ala man lang galos yung boxes nila pag dating dito sa atin so far...

Hi,

How do I fill up the order form of forexworld when ordering from ebay? Since my stuff are coming from different sellers should I click place a new order for each item? Or do I just place one order under Ebay name then add items there? I thought of doing this but then there was only one field for entering estimated time of arrival and tracking number, so I'm not sure what to do as there are many items I've ordered from different ebay sellers.

I emailed them already but haven't gotten a reply yet. Thanks.

Sir Davidson, in my case when I'm using ForeXworld in my purchases via Ebay, I'm using a "drop ship" or meaning I will pay the item then it will be delivered to their Warehouse in LA. Forexworld will consolidate the item. You may need first to create a profile in the WebSite. You may want to read the FAQ section, hope this will help.

I'm planning to buy a Yamaha receiver from an eBay seller through Forex online shopping but I would like to know first if anybody here requested Forexworld to have one of their warehouse staff in L.A. open the box and check if the unit is working or at least turning on? The request seems odd, but is this possible?

you can drop them an email for instructions. they have a $10 fee to consolidate items in a box so for sure they will not do it for free. but who knows, maybe their staff have extra time in their hands and can do it for free.
