Shopping online from favorite stores in the US and receiving it here in the Philippines is now possible. Thanks to forwarding companies like Johnny Air Cargo. We used JAC to forward our Casio Protrek watches bought in Amazon.com. We’ve been wanting to buy stuffs from US sites but we’re always hindered because of exorbitant shipping charges aside from the customs duties and taxes we have to pay at the post office. But not anymore with JAC, everybody can shop in the US, have a US address and receive packages here in the Philippines.
Johnny Air Cargo’s rates are very reasonable, they charge $ 7.50 per pound plus $ 5 handling fee for electronic items and other taxable items. I am vouching for JAC’s very efficient and fast service, we ordered the watches from Amazon last Tuesday, June 16, and we already got a text message today, June 24, from JAC Megamall branch that our items are ready for pick-up. We paid around Php 1200 for the two watches, no bribery and no other hidden charges. The communication with their New York correspondent, Analyn Diego, is fast. Another thing is that the people from their New York office is kind enough to consolidate the packages into one, since we ordered two watches coming from two different merchants, I specifically informed them to expect two packages. And here’s what we received today…
Sweet! if you’re wondering how to use Johnny Air Cargo’s services, you can drop by their Megamall branch for the instructions and for your other questions. I hope you find this instruction I found from Chuvaness.com useful:

Wow this is great news. My husband wanted to buy me Kindle from Amazon and have it sent to my relatives in the US and then send it to us. Though I have been hearing about Johnny Air before I didn’t really paid attention to it and didn’t realize you can have US address thru their service. Thanks for this info.

You can send the package first at JAC New York or LA address and they will forward it to the Philippines.

Finally another positive testimony about JAC. My sister wants to buy a watch for my dad, as perhaps a post-Christmas gift, and she’s considering JAC but looking for more information before giving it a try.
So far, their response to her queries is fast that my sister is having more confidence in this company. It’s nice to know a successful shipment story of JAC to a kababayan who is satisfied with their service.

Just a clarification, you purchased 2 watches and you paid JAC Php1,200 for shipping? Please crarify, is the 1,200 pesos the freight for the 2 big boxes in your pictures or it’s just for the 2 casio watches?

Hi.. Did you have other items inside that 2 boxes aside from the watches? Just want to know as i will going to purchase 17 items, it will be too pricy if that Php1,200 was just for the 2 watches only. Thanks

Hi Arcee, that’s for the two watches only. You might want to try Pobox.ph if you have more items, I’ve tried it too. My post: https://www.badudets.com/pobox-ph-experience/

I think you can write an authorization letter if you want somebody to claim your package.
