is online purchases cheaper?

---

if you are willing to wait around 30-45 days...use balikbayan box...cost only $35-$55 for 1 standard BB Box. Daghan pa ka masulod sa box....no weight limit as long as masulod sa box..

it cost $200 shipping kung fedex. plus tax na na.
kung barko mga $100 + tax abut gihapon ug almost $200.

warranty problema gyud. try lang kung maka rma ka dinhi pinas.

Online purchase is almost always cheaper if you know how to do it properly, warranty is the only problem.

Oh, here's a tip. If you really want to buy online.....before you confirm payment....try to check this website... Coupon codes and discounts for 20,000 online stores! RetailMeNot.com you can find hundreds of coupons/discount there. Tried it myself and save almost 20% off the total price.

I don't know what happened but it worked for me...basin nakatiming lang ko..

It looks like this when you are about to pay/confirm payment

huh? Have you tried it?

Bro, just this january pag balik nako gikan US (training), naa ko kuyog nga nipalit ug X38 mobo ug 4850 Vcard. Iya gisulod sa handcarry items to think safe ra sa customs. Pag abot sa cebu kay gi pa ukab ang bag den pag nakita ang duha ka items tawag dayon ang customs sa ilang bosing kunuhay. Didto gipabayad sya 2000 for both items.

Ang sayop ato niya kay ngano gidala pa man niya box.

May gani ang akoang laptop wla naapil .

The last time I went home sa Pinas, I brought 3 laptops. Akoa ang usa, one for my brother and the other for my mom. Wala man ko gipara.

Too sad siya sa customs? Naay resibo?

asa na BB box ni sir? 110 man gud sa ako nahibaw-an... tsk.

[bry_quin]

item will end up costing slightly higher considering the shipping fee etc...also if there is a problem and it needs to be returned to the supplier, u will also handle the shipping cost...for peace of mind buy it locally...if the model is not on display...u can order it from them...

Sakto ni bro.. Lisud i.uli kng naay defect ang item..
