after the last order I had with Shipping Cart which took close to 2 months to get here, I tried another consolidator.
the thing with Shipping Cart is they're based in California, so whatever you buy, may 9 or 10% sales tax pa yata. I tried out Kango kasi their warehouse is in Delaware and walang sales tax. Panalo itong Kango... their fees is lower than shipping cart. I used them to ship the Lenovo Duet I ordered. Dumating sa warehouse nila ng July 14 or 15 yata, dumating sa PHL July 25, released a few days later kasi they were disinfecting their office pa daw.
I'm trying Kango as well. Maganda nga yung tax-free status nila lalo na kung walang tax refund facility yung seller.
Yung package ko, within 3-days lumabas na sa cart. After entering the declared value of the item, pwedeng i-select ang ship-out date depending on the next available date tapos within a day or two, nakatanggap ako ng invoice tapos shipped-out na yung package kahit hindi ko pa nababayaran yung shipping fee. Basta bayaran ko dapat before final delivery para walang delay. $18.50 ang minimum charge nila para sa consolidated packages. Ngayon in-transit na yung package.
Anyway, ang concern ko lang ngayon, nakatanggap ako ng email sa kanila:

Mukhang suspended ang door-to-door delivery nila. Hopefully by the time dumating yung akin, meron na ulit. Buti na lang, small item worth $25 lang muna pinaship ko sa Kango para subukan sila.
