On a recent trip to Manila, I went out for dinner with friends and we talked about how fascinating it was that everything can be done from your own house now because of the internet. Need new shoes? Click, click,click. Hmmm. New dress with shoes? Click, click. Oh, look! Bag to go with shoes. Click, click. Uh-oh. Feeling guilty. Get gift for someone else to alleviate guilty feeling. Search, search. White-like-an-angel Ipod. Perfect. Click, click. Heehee. All done. Remember when we actually had to go to the States to get that Double RL pair of jeans in the early 90s? Heehee. Click click. Happy, happy.
But then, there is the wet blanket - expensive international shipping! I was really excited to tell my friends that it was actually my job to make it a non-issue. You can actually shop-'til-you-drop online and have it shipped to Johnny Air in New York. There are sites that will give you free shipping or charge really, really low - less than $10 for a mountain of stuff, if shipped within the United States. Then, when we receive your package, we send it to our office in Makati, Megamall, Cebu, Davao, etc. (we're kinda all over) for really cheap ($7.50/lb for electronics and $6/lb for everything else - email me for detailed costs) . Shipment takes 4 to 5 days, so expect a call from our Philippine office around this time frame after we confirm with you that we have received your package. You can either pick it up from our office nearest you or we can deliver to your place. You can also monitor your package by getting in touch with us in New York or in Manila.
Imagine, getting good bargains online for gadgets, clothes, shoes, baby stuff, home stuff, kitchen stuff, books, movies, music, etc. and have them at the end of your fingertips for much less than actually driving to Serendra and buying it there. I feel like....like your fairy godmother.
