online shopping

can some help with shipping costs from the states
from my experience a pair of shoes (size of normal nike box) can costs from $40 - $50
what about a cap? (and how many more caps can be included untill it exceeds the cost of the first cap)?
also the same question with tees.

thanks
 
^^^ Hello Addter. The shipping cost will depend on what courier service is used. Normally, USPS is the most cost-effective way to have stuff shipped to thePhilippines. If a merchant or ebay seller is a FEDEX/UPS/DHL employee, they can actually send stuff to you for a rate almost the same or cheaper than USPS andthe transit time is faster but that is very rare.

For me, the best USPS international shipping method is USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL since it has the following advantages versus it's cheapercounterpart, USPS PRIORITY MAIL :

1. Tracking is up to the point it is delivered if you are in the Greater Manila Area and up to the point it arrives in the Philippines if you are outside GMA
2. The transit time is 7-10 days (vs. 3-6 weeks for Priority Mail) depending on where the item is shipped from. Stuff from the West Coast normally arrivesearlier than those from the East Coast.

The ACTUAL shipping cost via USPS will depend on the actual weight of the box if shipped via Express Mail and there is another service, Priority MailInternational Flat Rate Box which allows a maximum weight for a package so you can basically load up a box with as many items as you want and pay the same flatrate as long as it does not exceed the maximum weight allowed.

Hope this helps. You can PM me if you have any other questions, I will try my best to answer you to the best of my knowledge. God bless

i agree that usps express mail is the best option when you buy stuff online. they usually arrive in a week and it gets delivered straight to your house.
 
thanks rev!
if its not too much trouble , you think you can post an answer to my question for both using USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL & priority mail...
 
Question/Help mga peeps regarding paypal... I was about to buy the Nike Zoom flight V from pickyourshoes.com but when i've entered my paypal account itdoesn't show that i've already purchased the shoe! Talaga bang pinapa confirm pa ang card? Where can i get the code... Here is the e-mail that i'vegot from Paypal....

This steps is for confiming my credit card...
1. Your card ending in xxx2 has been charged $1.95 USD on Jun. 18, 2008.
2. Check your card statement in 2-3 days and find the 4-digit PayPal code for the charge.
3. Return to PayPal and enter the 4-digit code to confirm your credit card.

The charge will be refunded to your PayPal account after you confirm your card. When you confirm your card, your Sending, Receiving and Withdrawal limits willbe lifted and you will be a Verified member. If you access your card statement online, you will see the number within 2-3 business days. If you don't haveonline access to your statement, please wait for your printed statement to arrive by mail.

Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team

PayPal strongly discourages users from calling their credit card companies in order to obtain their PayPal code before receiving their monthly statements inthe mail. If PayPal receives a complaint from Visa, MasterCard, or your card issuer regarding your account, your PayPal account may be permanently closed.

Have you done this?
Nangangati na me kasing mabili yung Flight V...

Hope you can help me on this.... Thanks in advance!
 
^^^^ The reason you will have to confirm your card is so that the purchase limit that is initially set at $100 can be lifted and you can purchase more than$100 and up to what's available in your credit card's credit limit. Just confirm your card. You will get the confirmation number in the paypalconfirmation transaction on your credit card billing statement or online statement, if that's available with your credit card company. It's the last 4digits in the paypal transaction that comes out in the statement. It's secure so no worries.

Paypal will charge your card $1.95 for confirmation which you will eventually get back thru a credit in like a month or less. When you have done that, SHOPAWAY!!!

Hope this helps
 
Hi experts...

Is the Air Force 1 white sold here in the philippines already cheap or meron mabibili mas mura abroad?
 
^^thanks Rev... I hope Eastwest Bank will give the CODE to me once i got the statement from them and Sana nde pa paso yung markdown price nila sa Flight V!Sana nde sila low-tech or sana nag eentertain sila ng mga ganung transaction katulad sa Paypal na mabigay sa akin yung CODE! Another Question mga peeps... Doesthe limit of Paypal goes high 'coz the shoes cost $120 (including shipment)? Mabibili ko ba through My Paypal Account? Thanks in advance....
 
@ i3asuncion:
You'll receive the 4 digit code 2-3 days after you've applied for the paypal account. You can check it online, if you have online access in yourbilling statement or you can wait for your billing statement.

Regarding your Paypal Limit... initially $100 is set when you apply but once you receive your 4 digit code, the limit goes high. (can't remember exactly)

Hope that helps. Anyway bro, give me news when you receive your Flight 5's, been wanting to cop one up on PYS too. Are you getting the black/black/coolgrey?
 
^Yes, i'll be gettin' the Flight V Black/Black/Cool Grey at Pickyourshoes once my paypal account is ready (sana bilisan ng Paypal at Citibank sapagbigay ng CODE sa akin, dalawang card na kinonfirm ko para mabilis - baka maubusan ng Flight V or mawala na yung Mark Down sa Flight V - SCIENCE naman)...Thanks for the help! I'll update you once it arrive here in the Philippines...
 
after you confirm your paypal account using the 4 digit code, the limit becomes $500.

also, if you can access your credit card bill online, you should see the 4 digit code there.
 
Quick Question: Does PYS.com sends directly to you or do you have to get it at the post office pa? Any more additional charges aside from the $40 charge of PYSfor shipping?
 
if PYS ships via USPS express mail, it should go directly to your house. have them marked as a gift with low value. if they use usps priority mail, you'llget a notice card from the post office and you have to pick it up there. just make sure you leave 35 pesos for delivery fee or you'll have to pick it upfrom the EMS office in Pasay.

I've already uploaded and sent my Scanned Citibank bill... How many days will paypal evaluate my file and lift the restriction? Thanks in advance...
 
^^^ You should call them up if you want it expedited. I did that before and they confirmed and lifted the restriction on my account the same day I faxed thedocuments.
 
^Thanks rev... pero if i wouldn't call them, how long it will take for the restriction to be lifted? International call...
 
Dude baka limited pa ang account mo to $100. Once you enter a credit card, you're spending limit is up to $100 for Personal Account. You should enroll saExpanded Use Program. After enrolling, they will charge your card $1.95. Wait mo sa billing statement yung 4 digit confirmation code. If you have online accesson your billing statement, it will appear 2-3 banking days. Enter the 4 digit code sa credit card sa Profile. Then mali-lift na yung limit na $100. Unlimitedna sya or depending sa Credit Card Limit mo.
