I tried the CITI30 on my Citi Mastercard and it did not work.

There's also a code for Maya users ('MAYACARD' without the quotes); the minimum purchase for this code to work is just $50.

If you're not into any of the Amazon Smile charities and you're not using any existing referral link, you can support my friend by using the affiliate link below before browsing and/or checking out. You can browse or purchase essentially anything in the site and he'd get a small benefit from it as a referrer.

Just checking.  For those who ordered during the Black Friday weekend, na-ship ba agad ang orders niyo?

Hindi. parang tinapos muna ang sale bago naship.

Pero one of the nvidia shield I ordered ay nasa Manila na. Yung microsd cards at flashdrives na ionorder ko same day as the shield, nasa US pa rin.

Yes for some orders, not for others. Normal naman sa Amazon bumabagal during the holiday season kung free shipping option. Prioritized nila ang paid shipping and Prime purchases.

One of my orders was initially set for January 4 delivery. Now it is December 14.

Part of that order (one item) will be delivered separately and still on a January 4 delivery date

I was asking kasi yung order ko last weekend, Dec 23 ang estimated arrival date and hindi pa rin shipped out until today.  In contrast, yung order ko last October, shipped out within 2 days and na receive in 2 weeks lang.

Track Your Package
You can find tracking information in your order details. If an order includes multiple items, each may have separate delivery dates and tracking information.

It sometimes depends on the seller; sometimes they ship it out fast and some a bit slower. Parang lazada/shopee na may mabagal, mabilis, or maybe i-order pa niya sa iba.

Question lang po mga sirs/ma'am.  Binilhan kami ng in-laws ko ng Ipad Pro.  Then pina air freight kay LBC from US, taxable ba dito sa atin pag dumating?  Kasi meron kami baby items last year from SG pinadala through DHL, declared amount ay more than 10k, siningil kami ni DHL ng tax

Taxable, yes. If it will be taxed, swertehan na lang. Try Shipping Cart (also handled by LBC); they claim na if properly declared yung value ng item eh walang additional duties. So far never pa ako nagkaproblem with them when it comes to duties. Mabagal lang processing compared to other forwarders.

Are your packages always arrive opened? The packages I ordered always comes unsealed the closed using packaging tape.
I ordered some SSDs, vinyls, books and postage stamps. all of them only costs less than 10k , per batch.

^^^They sometimes are. That's normal as they're subject to customs inspection. Yung iba binubuklat nila pag duda sila sa contents.

Pag may missing items na asa packing list ng Amazon, report to Amazon. Depende sa courier na ginamit yung iba may change the packaging too. Sagot naman ng Amazon kung may aberya since courier nila ang ginamit.

Masaya ako sa shipping time to PH sa Amazon on my 2 recent purchases. The latest purchase was Dec 21 at dumating kahapon, Jan 2. Not bad for a delivery from US to Leyte.

iba iba eh. sa akin dati madalas UPS. pag less than Php10k, walang tax. pag more than eh kasama sa computation ni Amazon yun, makikita naman breakdown dun kasama yung delivery fee (depende sa item kung may free DF).

mas mura yata Johnny Air pag madami ka items bibilihin yun lang parang mas matagal ma deliver.

I hate Aramex na gamit ng ibang sellers sa Amazon. One of my parcel got stuck sa ParaƱaque for two weeks. Kung di ko pa sila minessage (for 6 days) sa Twitter, di uusad ang delivery.

On a related topic. I was able to save 240 dollars for me and some friends na nakiride sa CC ko. 8 separate purchases of at least 100 dollars. Laking tipid ng CC voucher discount

not related to the $30 discount ... I availed of the $30 discount each from Metrobank and Citibank CC - one package was delivered via UPS, the other via ECMS ... both packages were delivered more than 2 weeks ahead of the estimates, mas maganda lang tracking ng UPS

Credit Card.

Yes. 30$ discount per order of at least 100$

Yup. Just like Lazada and Shopee before they implemented a separate shipping fee per item/merchant.

Other couriers are fine except for this Aramex.
