nice review, any chance you can post the details on your second experience just like the first one? yung may price ng total shipping cost nong 4 items? and yung weight nila?

thanks

Hi. Any idea if LBC would leave packages at your home? Cos what would happen if they deliever and no one answers the doorbell?

Thanks.

Hey, nice write-up. I'm curious about the discounts you mentioned. Are these from random sites, or are they from LBC?

THANK YOU for this review! Two thumbs up!!!.. I have been wanting to try LBC Shipping Cart, but was a little apprehensive about it. Now I have more confidence to use their service. Also thanks for the discount tips!

Hi, I plan to buy a barbell and bumper plate set from Rogue Fitness in the US so I can start making a home gym. I want to use LBC Shipping Cart's Sea Cargo for it. Do you think LBC will accept my items?

1 x 45lbs Barbell 84" x 3" x 3"
10 x 45lbs Bumper plates 3.25" x 18" x 18"
2 x 35lbs Bumper plates 2.75" x 18" x 18"
2 x 25lbs Bumper plates 2" x 18" x 18"
2 x 15lbs Bumper plates 1.375" x 18" x 18"
2 x 10lbs Bumper plates 1" x 18" x 18"

That's a total of 665lbs. I read in their FAQ's that they don't ship items in commercial quantities which is more than 12 pcs. of the same item. As you can see I have 18 pcs of Bumper plates but of different weight variations. I don't think they will allow shipment my items in 1 box. But do you think they'll allow me to ship my items in separate boxes to adhere to the commercial quantity rule? I've been emailing them for the longest time and they don't reply at all. I'd appreciate it if you can help me.

Thanks.

Hi!

I'm buying everything from Rogue Fitness USA since the equipment I've found locally just doesn't cut it for me. I did a few calculations on shipping cart's calculator, and it comes out to around 9500 PHP - 10000 PHP if I do 3 sea cargo shipments.

1 x shipment for the Barbell
45lbs 84x3x3
PHP 2000 give or take a few hundred

2 x shipment for the weights
310lbs 24x18x18
PHP 4028

This is what I came up with and the fee seems reasonable and I have a BDO card so I can avail of the 15% shipping fee discount haha! I just hope shipping cart allows multiple shipments from 1 person. As far as I can understand my plan adheres to all their rules. What do you think? Suggestions are appreciated. :)

Thanks

Hi! May I know how did you pay for you item? Yung total ba na nasa LBC shipping cart is the item price + shipping in PH? :)

Hello! I read their FAQ and it states that I need to file form 1583 if USPS will deliver my package. I bought something from Amazon and it will be delivered by USPS. Seeing from your post what seems like USPS has delivered your package, did you file any form 1583?

I'm glad that your experience was good. I wish my latest one went as well as yours.

I hope you don't mind but I'm posting this here so that other consumers can see both sides of the LBC Shipping Cart experience.

The Shipping Cart--unfortunately--doesn't live up to its claim because it's neither fast nor reliable. Super sad with my latest experience (my sixth package in three months, mind you.) They always say they "attempt" delivery (three days in a row) but claim I'm always "out" or that the "house was closed"--making it my fault. First off, the delivery address isn't a house (they would've known that if they had actually gone there). The delivery address is open 24/7--even on holidays. It never closes. Second, I left an authorization letter, which means that--technically--it shouldn't matter if I'm there or not (but I was there, btw). Third, guard/receptionist said that there were actually no delivery attempts made. As a die-hard eBayer, finding out that LBC Shipping Cart lies and is generally unreliable is heartbreaking. LBC Shipping Cart has lost a fan. I hope they at least get that package to me before Chrissy *like they promised they would* (Remember that "ship on or before December 10 and get it before Christmas e-mail" they sent?). Everybody else, be warned. Don't use this service if you have a time frame you'd like to stick to.

Hi.. Nagbayad ka pa ba ng inbound charges nung dineliver ung package mo? Kc my husband payed all the shipping fees and insurance fee then DHL contacted may tax daw ung items ko from the bureau of customs. My orders are 2 bags, 1 wallet, 1 watch all from Kate Spade. Thanks

Hi I would just like to ask if I need to put the US address that LBC provided on my pay pal account or if I just need to put it on ebay..? I'm sorry kinda new at this..

Hi....Kung bibili ba kao ng Iphone sa us, safe bayun

Hello. Where can I find promo codes for shipping cart? :(

Do you happen to know if it's possible to just pick up my package on an LBC branch..? or is it just for door to door only..? thank you

hello po,., i just paid the shipping fee of my items last january 22 ,.,until now there are no updates regarding the shipment process of items ,. until now hndi pa sya consolidated nor transit tsaka hndi nagrereflect doon sa shipping cart yung tracking number ko., i tried to called the lbc customer care service about this but dont have any good answers/solution. darating pa ba items ko or hindi na ?

Hello po,

Pagnagshop po ako sa amazon.com tapos ibang address ang ginamit ko tapos yung friend ko ang magppadala massabi pabang lbc shipping cart yun? Magkkaroon ba kya ng tax yun dto sa pinas?

Thanks!

Will the US address work on any online outlet stores from the US? say, i want a shirt from a website other that amazon or ebay. Will it affect my payment or whatsoever? First time online shopping lol forgive me.

How long does it take for the item to arrive at your chosen pick up location if the item is coming from USA via sea cargo thru lbc?tnx

hi again sir..I already payed my shipping fees and the status of my package is now consolidated..but there's no tracking number available on my account..if the package is consolidated does that mean that it's already on its way here in the Philippines..?thanks in advance

Hello Admin, have you tried purchasing items from US and shipping them thru Sea Cargo here in the Philippines? If you have please post samples with screenshots of the charges in your lbcshipping dashboard.. Thanks.. I'm planning to buy items from the US but thru Sea Cargo..

And second most important question, how to add this storage address

"26517 DANTI CT
ACCOUNT # 75-643979
HAYWARD, CA 94545-3917
United States
Phone: 1-800-241-1312"

as my eBay postage address? I find it hard to add this toll free number in eBay form field.
Thanks

Hi. I made the US-provided address as my primary for e-bay purchases. I just bought a desktop and a laptop and plans to ship them via sea cargo due to the cost of shipping. I hope it would turn out well.
By the way, your account number should be private! One more thing, I didn't add the toll-free number as LBC shipping cart didn't provide me one.

Hello. Im planning to buy toys in amazon for my son's first birthday. It's quite bulky but lightweight. I tried to check at the mall but they don't have it. I will choose sea cargo since it's cheaper and I can wait for a month or two. Question ko lng po. Paano po computation sa sea cargo? By weight or by volume? Thank you.

Hi there! My friend sent me a package thru LBC March 22, 2016 from California, it's a small package with planners and planner covers... I tried tracking the package it only says "RECEIVED" on the tracking site... When can I expect its delivery?
Safe naman po sa LBC right? May mga bad reviews kasi akong nababasa... Looking forwaed to your reply... Thanks so much po!!! :)

Hi there! how much will be added if you go by water or air cargo? example: the item im going to ship here in the Philippines costs 300 dollars and the weight is less than .4 kilograms what do you think is the total price if i go by air cargo or probably by boat?

Hi! I would like to ask if I can also use my LBC Shipping Cart Address, if a friend of mine from US wants to send some package for me (so she can save some for the shipping fee)? or is it just for online shopping use only? Thank you!

Hi sir
Are they giving us just one same virtual address when registering to lbc shipcart?

On the book you ordered how much did you pay total cost including shipping

In your post above where you ordered from different sellers & consolidated them in one box for LBC to ship to the Philippines, may I ask if they included all of the invoices they received from the sellers inside your one big package?

I'm asking this because in one of the packages I shipped to their warehouse, 1 out of the 3 items was missing in the picture they took but the weight indicated was definitely for 3 items, only two was accounted for in my account. Hope their warehouse employee handling my account did not take it =( My worry is they might point fingers and say na kulang ang nilagay na items ng seller when there is an invoice provided for when they receive packages shipped to their warehouse kung ilan talaga to double check.

I mentioned this because in my previous package they received in their warehouse, their employee who takes the photograph & weighs the item, inputted "62.00 lbs" instead of "0.62 lbs" for two pieces of shirt, hassle pa ayosin. Don't they double check with what their eyes are seeing? Lumaki mata ko nung nakita ko na Php 19,069 ang shipping charge for two pieces of shirt! *sigh*

i didn't have problems back then, until now...it's been a long time, a year to be exact since i made transaction with them. ngayon lang ako nagkaproblema..bumili ako lego technic, yep, malaking box, according to amazon and other sites, ang dimension ng box is 23x19x5, with a weight of 10 pounds. but the item was processed in the warehouse, the declared box dimension was 28x25x8 with a weight of 13 pounds!! di ko sya napansin agad, pero nung magcompute na ako ng shipping via air, nagulat ako halos $200 ang shipping fee. so tiningnan ko lahat ng details ng box, and tried to compare it to other sites. i then tried to email them, within an hour or two i got my reply, and was the box dimensions and weight were corrected.. payo ko lang, dapat alamin nyo dimensions and weight ng mga items nyo, and double check them before shipping. hopefully hindi na mauulit to, sana nagkamali lang sila...

if I were to buy an item from amazon weighing almost 5lbs, can you tell the difference of cost if I choose to put an address of a friend from US and he will send it to me here in Mindanao via LBC.

did you have to deal with customs and/or pay taxes

Hi i just ordered graco crib stroller and carsear to amazon, and im worried about the shipping fee? Can you give me idea for the shipment fee for the items that i was ordered. Thanks.

Unfortunately their address is California, we know there is a sales tax for california for items from ebay and amazon :-(

Hi! I just want to ask, where do I put my account number when buying in Amazon? Thanks!

Hello, I ordered something in Amazon and when LBC shipping cart got it, the only photo I received in "My storage" is the Amazon receipt.. is this normal?

Hello, I ordered something in Amazon and when LBC shipping cart got it, the only photo I received in "My storage" is the Amazon receipt.. is this normal? shouldn't it be the actual photo of the item? oh my god I'm getting nervous maybe my item got lost and they will only ship me the box...

Hello, what do you do if USPS came on a weekend to the LBC office? They delivered my order on a Friday night but of course business hours were wee past that. I contacted both LBC shipping cart and the online store I bought the items from. In this case, where will the responsibility for delivery lie and how much leeway do they give to deliver the package?

Also, I had an eBay order that came in last July 13th but up until now, it hasn't been tracked and I'm worried that my Amazon order was first put in Storage first over the item from eBay. How do I manage to help them consolidate my items for shipment then?

Thanks!

to be honest I use USPS and it shipped my item in the Philipines fast but the problem is in the custom, custom clearing is 6 weeks that is insane and something i Notice they open my item and did not secure it properly when they return in the box they also open the DVD bay so they broke the lock of the bay. Im planning to buy an item again in the US and i dont want to experience this again so im asking this question humble & kindly"
1, Does the LBC is very reliable?
2, Does it shipped very quickly?
3, Do they carefully handle my item?
4, Will they be cleared fast in the custom?

Thank you i want to here the answer of those who tried it.

Hi, good day, is there by any chance I can contact LBC SHIPPING CART thru hotline? I have not indicated of filled up the account number in the address using amazon. help pls?

Hi! In filling out the details in your Amazon account, what do you click in the question, "Is this address also your billing address (the address that appears on your credit card or bank statement)?" It would be really helpful! Thanks so much! :)

Hi Alexis,

How do you pay your orders from Amazon? I don't have any CC. I only have a debit card and funds from Paypal. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm disappointed with LBC's service, I have received a samsung galaxy tab and a gopro hero from amazon, things were alright and 3 days after it was delivered to their warehouse It appeared in my account. I paid for the shipments via air cargo in august 3 and the Estimated time of arrival is August 18 , LBC is too slow to reply to inquiries and August 15 came and I received an email that they lost my samsung galaxy tablet ( Strange that their are alot of complaints regarding lost electronics ) , It sucks to wait and end up being told they just lost it. I will never use LBC shipping cart ever again.

Shipping Cart used to be excellent (circa 2015). They used to consolidate all your items by removing all excess packaging and putting it in the smallest box possible then weighs it. Now they measure the box that the US courier used and use that as basis for charging you even though they discard it when consolidating (higher fees to you, more profit for them). It's not fraud since they disclose it in the FAQ. That came out earlier this year.

Sometimes they photograph the receipt only instead of the actual item/s so there is no way of knowing if the US courier box is really that big. You just have to trust Shipping Cart to not screw you. I was charged 16lbs for 4 pieces of shirt while a week earlier I was only charge 2.7lbs. Go figure.

Contacting their customer service will test your patience. It took 7 days for them to respond only to tell me they cannot accommodate my request of using a smaller box. I figure to just use sea cargo instead of trying to contact them and risk getting charged storage fee. Even though they are claiming to waive storage fees until further notice you still see the countdown in your account. Use at your own peril.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It helped a lot! I decided to try it and I hope it goes all well.

Hi Alex do you think it still reliable to use Shipping Cart even there are a lot of complaints posted on their FB Page?

Hi Sell,
It's up to you if you want to use their service, but I would suggest not for now as they have a large number of complaints recently due to lost packages, missent items or incorrect items on customer's dashboard. I'm one of the affected customers and in my case, my item was delivered in the warehouse, they were able to photographed it - I paid the shipping. Then after two weeks with no updates and a couple of follow-ups, they e-mailed me that they weren't able to locate my items and offered me for a claim. Despite for the claim they would try to search for it for the next 30 days. I've read a comment on FB that the team in the US would conduct another check starting on the 5th until the 7th of Sep to identify and match items on the bins. Awaiting for some results mid week and hopefully this would shed some light.

^hoping my dasgboard gets updated soon, its just been a couple of hours since the shippingcart warehouse received my item from USPS. I will update you guys soon

Hi good day..i just want to ask,how can i register in lbcshippingcart..the security pass kept on telling me to drag the triangle in circle and i kept in doing that but nothing happens..and i cant click the register button..please help..thank you

Hi, LBCX is a joke, Three times more expensive for small packages (under 1 Ilb)then MSB They lost my laptop for 10 days until I raised a fuss.. Send me a email on the 12th telling me they are suspending operations on the 9th??? Who does that? Their only grace is that they will ship Lithium Batteries. But from now on I will have the battery removed and shipped by MSB..Easier and cheaper to buy new battery here in the PI then have equipment go missing..Thomas May

I hope my first experience with LBC Shipping Cart won't be bad. I've ordered items from 4 different sites and reading some experiences here with LBC Shipping Cart makes me nervous. This is was helpful though. May I ask, approximately how many days before the items were posted to the storage? And will they still take actual photos of my items?

How long does it take for the item to arrive at your chosen pick up location if the item is coming from singapore via sea cargo thru lbc?tnx

Hi, what if I did not receive an email that they received my items? My items arrived to their warehouse yesterday and until now, I have no email.

Hi. Same thing here. They got mine last October 5 and I have not received any email notification yet. I am now hesitant to place an order on Amazon. I won't be buying the items in my shopping cart until I see the item I bought from eBay on my Shipping Cart dashboard.

Btw, thank you for this post. This is actually one of those which convinced me to try Shipping Cart's service. I hope everything turns out well.

Hello mr alex pwde magtanong pwede hnd ko sa shipping cart address ipadala pagbumili ako sa amazon sa friend ko nlng ippadala sa las vgas? Tapos sya nlng magpadala dto sa pinas.. Thank you!

Good day!
I just want to ask on how to sign up with LBC Shipping Cart? I'm trying to search for the site but i can't find it. Thank you

Na-stress ako sa comment dito na may Tax sa California kaya pala lahat ng items na bilhin ko eh may Tax. Sumakit bigla yung ulo ko. Sayang yung Tax ko. $20 din yun. Fudge.

Ang tip ko lang sa mga bet talaga mag Online Shopping through ShippingCart, Patience is a virtue. Kung mainipin kang tao at nagmamadali ka makuha items mo huwag mo na itry to tapos mahahighblood ka at aawayin mo din yung mga nagpost ng reviews o exp nila sa ShippingCart. Ako talaga nung una kinabahan ako kasi delayed talaga yung pag post nila ng items sa Cart mo. Pero dahil di naman ako nagmamadali at sadyang addict lang ako mag online shopping at gusto ko lang yung binili ko pero di ko naman kailangan, pinabayaan ko na. (Sa loob loob ko pa nga kung ma scam ako netong shippingcart na to, bahala na sila naman yung masama at manloloko hindi ako.) Pero OK naman eventually nailagay sa Cart naishipped dito sa Pinas. Then now nagtry ako ulit kaya ako andito sa Blog ni Sir kasi tinignan ko ang size ang package niya kasi nagmahal yata yung rates ni ShippingCart. Tapos yun nga nabasa ko sa comment na may Tax sa California na nawala sa loob ko. Kaya pala lagi may Tax pag mag ccheckout na ko. Olay. Sana lumipat sa Vegas yung Office ng Shipping Cart para pag mag Checkout ka na sa mga Online Shop wala nang Tax! (Ewan ko lang sa Amazon kung may Tax ha) more on ibang Online Store ako eh Direct like Fatboy, Lokai, etc. pag nagccheckout ako lagi may Tax yun pala kasi sa California nga yung office nila. Hayyy. Yun lang.

I recently got my package last Friday with the supposed 4 items only to find out two were missing. I've constantly emailed, called, but they cannot find the whereabouts of my items. Very stressful experience with them. I'm actually fine with all the delays last September... but this one beats out all the trouble I've encountered with them. As of posting, I'm still waiting for their reply.

How long does it usually takes to process a package for shipping, I paid last November 7, 2016 for sea cargo. It’s been a week now and and the status of my package is still being processed for shipping. Thanks

Hi, is there any promo code available?? if so, where can we obtain it?? -thanks in advance

Hey there!
I would like to clarify if they will ship lithium batteries because i have read sources that says they dont and other sources that says its ok. Pls. Enlighten me

Hi po. Ano po dapat ilagay dun sa "insured value per item"?

Good day po. Nag pleased din ako ng order from Amazon kanina lang and malaki laki din yung nabayaran ko considering 5 items yun. Pina deliver ko sa Shipping Cart and analala ko lang kc may mini speaker un na may lithium battery at isang cradle na may battery din, ang alam ko pag may battery automatic via sea cargo un.. Sana ma process ng maayos ni Shipping Cart.

hi thanks for shring this. nagkaerror ung page nung i tried to pay na the shipment. i chose visa cc. pero di ko na pede balikan, i didnt have the chance to enter my credit card info tapos nakapending na lang items.

Hi Alexis :) my newly built house has no street address -- none yet assigned, where once was a palay field. How can I use Shipping Cart?
Thank you for your time :)

Hi Alex,
Good idea, Thanks. ..
Will I need to assign an authorized representative that can sign for receipt of packages?
I hope that's allowed. ..

Hey...
Can you please tell me about the door to door delivery and its rate...
of lbc shipping cart...

Hi! It is very relevant to me and I need to solve this problem ASAP as my billing address is in a country they do not ship to:(

Hi, how was your ShippingCart's shipping fee expressed in PHP? I've been trying to checkout an item but it is in USD everytime with no option of being changed.
