anyone can give estimates how much is it to ship a laptop from the USA to here in Pinas??? am planning to bid at ebay...

 

What about custom charges and other miscellaneous??

 

first timer here

 

Lastly, Whats the best and cheapest delivery method?

 

I have used ebay and amazon almost every week from electronics to jewelries medicines, car parts, toys, and some groceries. No issues so far for the last 8 years since I started purchasing items online. (big ticket items purchased at ebay and amazon include Plasma, LCD monitors, laptop, PC, jewelry, watch and even DSLR camera and lenses. ALL head-ache free transactions so far :D)

 

Like some folks here mentioned, look at the seller ratings and DO NOT pay cash or money order. If disputes arise and likewise security is a major concern, the credit card companies can help.

 

The best shipping method (not necessarily cheapest) is UPS or Fedex since you can track the progress of your item. US Postal Service Priority Mail is also reliable (cheper than UPS and Fedex) and has tracking the US but once it gets outside the country then you are at the mercy of the local shipper.

 

For shipping items like laptop (The seller can best provide the quote as shipping is dependent on size and weight) and insurance!

thanks for the info..

 

I'm aware of all the scams in ebay... I'll sign up with paypal just to be sure.... What delivery method do sellers or buyers usually prefer??

 

How much is the shipping charges of your laptop? IS it door-to-door delivery or you have to pick up at customs? what about custom charges for a laptop? .. Sorry for asking a lot of questions but I'm serious at bidding for a laptop at ebay. Just wanna make sure... :):)
