US stores ~ buying and shipping to the Philippines

Might be, but it just ain't Canadian milk!

 

If you had lived here 10 years with only boxed UHT milk available, you would LOVE Norient!

I am from Oklahoma, and it is pretty darn close to our milk!! And Oklahoma is farm country!!

 

lol, first time I found norient I bought the litre bottle and chugged it in one sitting.
It's definitely good enough.

aaanyways, sorry to derail so bad....I once got my friend to send me a package of Lush products, since Lush isn't in the Philippines yet apparently, and they're the only bath products I swear by......it took NINE MONTHS to get to me, I was amazed when it finally came, and d*mn glad too, it was expensive!

Why on earth does it take so darn long??

 

Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore.

 

So you know...The U S Postal Service will ship a box ...... About 16 inches wide by 14 inches deep more or less.. for $65.00 weight does not make a difference....arrives here in 9 days they have a bigger box also.... I believe it's $85.00 ... check that out ...

 

Lenny I have used the USPS for shipping "If it fits it ships" multiple times from FL. No way in hell it ever arrived in 9 days. My Asawa knows the Postmaster in Quezon City personally and has him hold the package and text her when it arrives. I have mailed, left the States several weeks later and then I have gone with her to retrieve a week or two after I arrive in Quezon City. Just my experience.

 

shipping from the Philippines to the USA

Anybody have suggestions (besides DHL) for shipping large heavy boxes back to the USA (around 100lb/ 50kg). It can take up to 2 months... just looking for the cheapest options from Dumaguete to get to the East Coast. Thanks for any help.

 

two months would be quick these days.. six years ago getting a bbbox here made the trip.. from the east coast to here in the *outbacks* in 4 weeks..then 4 weeks and half.. then price raise..and six weeks..price raise and eight weeks. I shipped 3 boxes from Baltimore to me here in Dumaguete on July 1.. it landed in Manila 3 weeks ago.. still not here..Sept 18..and counting Sept 1 was approx 2 months over 2 weeks ago.

As for the reason I started this thread.. I asked them to ship 2 glasses.. only 2.. very light..I started and they ended the shipment saying that I cancelled it. no way.. I asked to know who said and got a run around.. I did try it 3 times..maybe it was glass..but I lost hope and didnt order it a fourth time.. sounded and looked good but if you dig into it the international shipper they use is famous for f*ckin up almost all the time.

 

Good thing it wasn't a bushel of steamed crabs.
