[Limited time offer] Proxy buy from Philippines, Japan, items to be handcarried to Japan then to the US
Please read :
A friend will be flying from the Philippines in July, I will be flying to the US on the 26th.
BUYING FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND HAND-CARRYING TO JAPAN
I wanted to offer this because shipping fees from the Philippines is astronomical (https://teresastoystore.com/pages/shipping-from-the-philippines) ; In addition, if shipping luxury items via DHL or UPS , the items need to be authenticated.
For the first leg of hand carrying the items from the Philippines to Japan, I will charge 1500 yen for every 500 g or a fraction thereof. If you are a current customer shipping to an address already in my database; or if you have already messaged as of June 27th JP time, the rate for you is 1000 yen for every 500 g or a fraction thereof (max volume of 80cm).
I can carry your items from Japan to the US which I will refer to as the second leg. This is not mandatory. You can opt to ship from Japan via EMS or Fedex . The comparison chart is here : https://teresastoystore.com/pages/fedex-vs-ems-vs-yamato-vs-dhl) .
Why is this a good deal?
1) Japan post has better rates than Phil Post
2) If in a box, Phil post automatically charges by volumetric weight
3) Japan Post's minimum billable weight is 500 g whereas Phil Post's is 1000g.
4) In addition, Japan has services to more countries (Ukraine, Romania). Phil Post doesn't serve a lot of countries.
This is chance for you to buy something form the Philippines and have it shipped from Japan.
5) Luxury items don't need to be authenticated.
6) We can hand-carry limited quantities of hazmat
CONDITIONS :
1) No bulky items like stadiums
The item must be received by the Philippines proxy by July 15th to be able to hand-carry to Japan.
1) No bulky items like stadiums . The max total dimensions will be 80 cm .
2) I don't want to ship breakable items except for alcohol bottles/ perfume bottles.
3) Space is on a first come first served basis.
2) If I don't receive your items on time, it will have to be shipped from Japan in September .
4) I will charge a total of 1500 yen to hand-carry the item from the Philippines to Japan for every 500 g (max dimension of 80 cm) . If you are a current customer shipping to an address already in my database or have requested July 27th 2024 JP time, I will bill you 1000 yen.
The second leg, which is hand carrying items from Japan to the US, is not mandatory.
You can avail of the first leg without availing of the second leg.
5) Hazmat cannot be shipped internationally so it has to reach me by a certain date
6) Shipping from Japan to you will be billed separately.
7) If you are buying an item worth 30,000 PHP / 82 000 JPY before our fees, the first leg and the second leg are free.
