piglett Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Metric. send both from the flea markets... cheap. Electric 220 volt. will he get nicked up if he sends new?i think good used craftsman wrenches would do the trick & customs are less apt to ask for a pile of cashthanks piglett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art2ro Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Try "Metrinch", was advertised long ago in the U.S. and will work on U.S. standard and metric nuts and bolts, no fumbling between standard or metric tools! Maybe expensive, but worth it! I plan to buy them in the near future! http://www.metrinch....6/category/259/eBay has them! http://www.ebay.com/...etwrench&_rdc=1 USD Priceshttp://www.ebay.ph/s...-All-Categories PhP Prices Edited December 10, 2011 by Art2ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Art, what has been your experience in dealing with ebay.com and ebay.ph for shipment to Phils and dispute issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art2ro Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Art, what has been your experience in dealing with ebay.com and ebay.ph for shipment to Phils and dispute issues? I've only ordered from eBay USA and Philippines twice and didn't have any problems! Just select the type of payment that suits your needs or comfortable with via C.O.D. if available, PayPal, credit cards or person to person meet ups! With one order in the Philippines, I got with the seller and paid via his Gcash account and after the money was posted to his account, they then shipped me the merchandise or did a person to person meet up. Just be careful with those person to person meet ups, because you'll never know when it's a scam or just out to rob you in person! Purchases from the U.S., you have to pay the shipping and custom tax when it arrives in the Philippines! With eBay, you get what you pay for new or used if that's what you choose, but sometimes the seller doesn't even know some of the minor defects he's selling until you receive the item! Returning merchandise is so much a pain in the ass. Delivery to the provinces maybe a different story too and may take a few weeks for delivery or none at all! Good luck!

piglett Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 what about inport fees at customs? that is why i said used craftsman wrenches i think used stuff is duty free ( as long as you don't have 9 truck loads of it)piglett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
