So ano ang difference ngForexworld and PO box?

PO Box
- no consolidation fee
- may tariff sa electronics
- $75 ang big box

Forex
- $10 consolidation fee sa big box (dunno sa smaller box)
- no tariff sa electronics
- $65 lang ang big box
- mura ang quote nila sa 120" fixed PJ screen compared to PO Box, as in $100 ang difference

Wondering lang sa forex, yung 10 $ consolidation is per item or per box? Eg, I have 5 items I want them to consolidate...  do I pay 10 $ o 50 $ consolidation fee?

sir wax, i noticed the charges when i had loaded lots of small items in their $65 box. the $10 charge is for 1 box irregardless of the consolidated items.

check mo nalang si vangie, baka free of charge lang ang 5 items.

Forex user here ever since.  Never encountered any difficulty in any of my shipments regardless of the size.  Delays are the most that I've gotten but I think that's inevitable when crossing the seas.

Recently lang bro one of the tipid pc member nawalan ng hard disk gamit forex. And his box was held for inspection by the US custom. Therefore we can't assure the safeness of our ordered item with any forwarding company. Chambahan lang tlga.

may warning naman sa forex kung ano ang mga bagay na maaring ma confiscate ng US customs. so bakit bibile tayo ng mga items na malaki ang risk na maharang? chambahan lang talaga sa inspection. of all the 7 boxes i had in the past 6 months, iisa lang ang dumaan sa random customs inspection. the box was kinda beat up with green US customs tape all over pero walang nawala kasi walang item sa loob na nasa watchlist nila.

^ FRS lang ang nagpopower on for testing purposes ask xrampage. So ang risk sa Forex and Pobox, pano kung DOA ang unit na nabili mo? In the end, mas mahal pa babayaran mo pati shipping pabalik compared kung bumili ka na lang locally. Also pag Ebay, usually 45 days ang accepted returns ng mga seller lalo pag 2nd hand units. Mag-lapse na yung 45 days minsan(pag dumaan ng customs) wala pa sa kamay mo yung item. If ever 4-5 weeks naman on hand mo na, pano naman yung pabalik ng US kung DOA ang unit mo? These are the risks buying from US, apart from 120V and the warranty. It already happened to me pero buti $30 lang ang price(power tools),sinabay ko lang sa shipment ko wala na kasi ako pampuno ng box ko. Kaya nakakadala din pero enjoy magshopping dun online. :)

+1 on this.

i had 2 PJ's shipped by them (FRS) and sent thru LBC to the province without any hassle. madaling kausap si luis (owner) at pwede nila e power on ang unit before shipping. i've known this courier thru sir xrampage too and the service is top notch.

Some of my concerns exactly, sir taxx007. I already had one bad experience with another eBay seller in the US. That's why I decided against purchasing the receiver abroad.  :(

I am not promoting FRS or discouraging others from ordering from US. Lahat yan may risks, eh pano kung nagpopower on nga may sira naman internally?  >:D

Kaya nga po risk pa din talaga kaya ako bago bili sa US nagtanung muna ako ng service or replacement price of my pj and compare ko ang price locally with the price replacement. In the end nakamura pa dn ako sa PJ ko kasi that time 100k ang price i got it for )0k+ with air shipping add mo lamp replacement or pagaayos nung unit pag nasira nasa sabihin natin 80k lang compare to 120k ng pj ko locally that time. Nabenta ko pa pj ko ng magandang presyo not pag locally purchase baka half the price na benta ko. Sa totoo lang chambahan lang pag nakakuha ka ng not doa pero may sira internally. Both my yamaha amp and pj has no issue until i sold them.

Forexworld is a trusted balikbayan box delivery service according to my relatives in the states. I tried their service myself and had them deliver a 4 feet by 3 feet Barbie House I bought at Amazon.com. It took a while but when it came, the box was in very good condition with just one tear (which was taped over) but the contents were well preserved. Also their email service is very good and you can usually expect a reply within a day or two if not instantly.

Been using Forex for five years now. Shipped lots of small stuff (shoes, clothes) up to big stuff (table saw, bandsaw).  Some electronics I shipped were a keyboard, small audio gear.  Also lots of hard disks.

Never had a single problem.

They used to be very "personal".  I'd email Ging Carino what to expect and they'd keep a bin open for me.  I'd receive emails of arrivals at their warehouse.  When my items are complete, Ging would email me back telling me the size of the box they selected and the amount.  They pack efficiently, never using a big box when a small box would do, so you don't get overcharged.  Used to take just about 4 weeks.  Now, with new US inspection rules, takes 5 to 6 weeks.

On a trip to LA, wife and I even went to their warehouse near Compton just to put a face behind the email.  Met Ging, a very nice lady, who showed us her shop and our boxes.  Encouraged, we went shopping some more then brought our goodies to their warehouse for eventual shipping to Manila.

Nowadays, they have a webpage that allows you to list your items and monitor progress.  Not much personal touch, anymore; I don't get to communicate with Ging but either Vangie or Fhamel or Chai instead.  I guess they expanded.  But still the same efficient service.

I heard some people from this forum as well as others I am a member to lost something they shipped.  But, from my observation, this is a rare occurrence.  Still, when I ship something of relatively high value, I pay the few $ extra for insurance.

Last January, I had a box being shipped which was supposed to include a small book.  The book took forever to arrive, delaying the whole box. I advised them to leave the book behind and they can keep it for themselves then forgot about the book entirely.  I actually have a new box in transit at the moment.  When I checked earlier on their website the contents, I was pleasantly surprised that it contained the book that got left behind. 

I'd recommend Forex anytime.

+1 on their good service.  Never had a problem with any of my stuff shipped through them.  Never considered others after I've tried their service.

just bought a JBL L810 for a friend from amazon and was delivered a couple of weeks ago. the speaker fits their $70 box with extra space for small items. the balikbayan box arrived in tip top condition and as well the contents inside.

Tried once, ok naman no shipping problems both from Emo and Forexworld.
Emo double boxed the amp before sending them out. Sa US customs lang ang problema minsan binubuksan nila yung box.

I read that Forexworld doesn't charge tariff. Does it still apply now? Also, does this include electronic tariff?

I'm thinking of ordering a basic Kindle.

Just a warning for those going the sea freight way; the current port congestion in Manila may result is seriously delayed packages.  The usual 30-45 days will take longer, maybe as much as 60 days.
