Forum Support scott h Posted July 17, 2017 Forum Support Posted July 17, 2017 As I have mentioned we will be visiting Australia soon. When I return to the states for a visit I usually order a bunch of books and such via Amazon. Question: What E shopping is best used in Australia, want to buy books online and have them delivered to my niece if possible. Thanks Gents 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clermont Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Most cities have second hand book stores, $ 1, $ 2 a piece, you can fill a cardboard box up of good books for the price of a couple of new books and send them by Balikbayan courier. Search on line for the courier or pull a PI up in the street, they all send parcels home, they'll steer you in the rite direction. I know PI children like to own books, we've two of my wife's cousins staying here doing schooling. The first thing they did was buy a new book, but when they saw the second hand books, it was like kids in a lolly shop for the first time. Good luck, I hope this will help and tape the box up with duck tape, rite around and up and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clermont Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Also, parcels tend to get lost by parcel post in PI, plus your niece will be the talk of the school if you donate a few books. Your wife and mine might be relations, mine can talk the leg of a wood stove, ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hounddriver Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 13 hours ago, Clermont said: parcels tend to get lost by parcel post in PI Have you had them lose one? I've had several dozen shipped to me in Philippines and never lost one so I'm wondering if this is one of those "the way things used to be" anecdotes instead of the way things are now. But to be fair, I always use the shipping method that leaves a tracking trail (Yes PhilPost has tracking) and I have to sign for it on arrival and pay 112 pesos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
