    I want to buy a seat for my bike from Corbin/USA for long rides but it looks like they and their worldwide resellers are not shipping to the Philippines. A mail inquiery is still not answered.
    Can anyone of you recommend "ShippingCart"? They offer a service as a US delivery address, you can order items to their warehouse and than they send it to your overseas address.

    The seat is about 500 USD without shipping, so I am a little bit concerned about the philippine customs and FedEx fees, too...

    ive used shipping cart several times, seems to work ok. I have yet to pay any customs fees using them.

    Supposedly there is no duty on "parts", but there is sales tax of 12%.

    I use Johnny Air. Have it shipped to Bacolod, they have an outlet in the SM Mall. We visit her family from time to time there or I just have a family member pick it up and send it to us via LBC. Never had a problem.

    Can't you get it sent over in a Balikbayan box packed out with other goodies you can't get here.

    Sure, if waiting 10 or so weeks is not a problem for you. The stuff I had sent over through shiping cart I needed sooner than that.
