BTW. Amazon has figured out how to ship to the Philippines. I ordered some new sandals (size 13) KEEN Men's Newport Sandal,Bison,13 M US I placed the order on Jan 13 and got the package on Jan 27. The cost was $105 for the sandals and $35.43 for the shipping.
Amazon has been able to do this, for certain products/sellers, for a long time. I see the shipping costs haven't went down any.
