I think they even have some sort of a promo on their rates if you intend to buy Ipads.

Alternatives to Johnny Cargo

I was given a Free Account by BDO with My-ShoppingBox.com

Basically they give you a unique Address in Mainland USA, that identifies your Account at their Address, as well as a Contact Phone No. This is what you can Quote as the Ship to Address when Ordering items On-Line in USA,

I am not that impressed with their Service however, for the following reasons:-

1. I asked if they Considered 'Mobil1 Racing 10W-40' a Hazardous Material, and could not ship it. I got an e-mail reply advising that they would ship this product and direct to my BDO Account Address in Cebu. So I went ahead and ordered 2 x Cases of 6 x Quart bottles, as Mobil1RacingStore.com. Then when My-ShippingBox.com received the shipment they changed their minds and said it can't be shipped as hazardous material! I produced the 'MSDS' from Mobil 1 that shows this Oil has Flash Point >200 Degrees C. so not classed as Hazardous and has no restrictions regarding Shipping. So they changed again and did Ship after 6 weeks delay and said this was a 'One off' and would not ship such product in Future.
   
   I did not have to pay any Customs Duty or VAT on that Engine Oil Shipment and in Total it worked out Php705/liter against Php900/Liter that a friend advised having paid for this ame oil but no longer available from his supplier in Dumagute.
   
2. My-Shopping Box sent Advisory stating they will no longer accept any product containing Lithium Batteries.

However BDO also gave me an Account with USA2Pilipinas.com

Again this gives a USA 'Ship To' Address to use for on-line Internet Orders.

This is whom I used to ship Garmin Nuvi 255 ($55) and a Garmin Nuvi 265W ($87) plus Water-resistant handlebar Cases x 2, Waterproof 12V Power Outlet and Dual USB Power Adapter. Order totaled $202 and Shipping was about $33. Had to pay Php2,200 for Customs and VAT.

NB: USA2pilipinas.com advise 'No Restrictions on Products containing Lithium Battery, currently".
