    There are 2 major appliance centers in Dumaguete City, the cheapest of them is Centrum Appliances, and even they are quite a lot more expensive than their Manila couter parts, so if you are moving from Manila to Dumaguete then you should consider bringing as much of your appliances as possible.

    Computer parts were priced well in Acelogic I mentioned in another post, I will send the owner a message to join us on this board as we had a few computer related questions here already...

    I bought a 320gig HD for around the same price as my friend just bought one for in US :smile:

    Imagine.. a 320GIG HD in Dumaguete... weeeeeee

    my wife did a lot of comparison shopping for air-cons and small refrigerators and the best deals we found were at Po's (a block or 2 south of lee sp)

    You can have stuff you buy in Cebu shipped to Dgte really cheap via Matio Trucking in Cebu and Dgte. Most Cebu stores know of the firm. We had all of our stuff shipped from Cebu after buying it there.

    I used Zentrum, Holidasy Appliances and LEE plaza and whilst the choice wasn't trhat great and it seemd a little overpriced the service was exceptional from all. They all delivered free of charge same day
    and Holiday Appliances installed the AC for free and installation was very
    good so it was all hassle free so i doin't mind spending a bit extra but even so a tv, two ac's , 2 beds and a fridge/freezer, large fan came to about 70,000
    so not bad really

    Bandit's right...stores in Cebu will usually box up your furniture or appliance purchase and have Matio pick it up right from the store.

    I had a big 35" off-road tire that'd been mounted on a rim shipped from Cebu to Dgte, and the shipping via Matio was less than P100 as I recall.
