LBC Shipping Cart: Experience and Review

I have received a request on my IG account (@qspeaks) to share my experience for this service. Shout out to @stef_ch ! :)

I have received a newsletter from my email on BPI months ago, They are giving away a discount to their BPI cardholders on this service called "LBC Shipping Cart". Out of curiosity, I checked their website: https://lbcshippingcart.ph. Amidst the battle and scandals on the BOC's policy and ridiculously big taxes as well as the missing items on the balikbayan boxes from different cargo/courier services, I thought to myself, why not try this with a US subscription box.

SS from LBCshippingcart website
LBC Shipping cart enables the local customers to purchase items in the US online stores to be delivered in their doorsteps. Using your free LBC US address and account number, US online store will ship your item to that address and once the LBC US warehouse received it, you will be notified via email that they have received your item will be added on your account under "My Storage".

If you are new to their website, you have to first create an account. You can either register via email address, link your facebook account or use your TheShop.ph account. Once this is done, you will be given an address together with an account number for you to keep and use as your US shipping address. Be sure to go to your "My Account" and add your PH Address so they will know where to deliver it. Now you're ready to shop.


Just add your LBC US address on to your Online Store account as Shipping Address and Your PH address as billing details that will match to your credit card details. Some Online shop doesn't accept cards addressed in the Philippines nor PayPal. So I think you should avoid this stores to prevent disappointment. lol 

Personal Experience:

I personally did not encounter issues with their service. I was able to receive a tracking number from the online store and once LBC received my package, they were able to send me a notification on my email that they indeed received it and will be added on my account to be selected for shipping in the PH. and once it is added, I am able to see a picture of the Items inside. YES. They will open the package and will send you a picture of the content inside. 

They have 2 types of shipping, via Air Cargo and Sea Cargo. I choose the Air Cargo since I will be able to receive it within 10-15 days (of course, higher rate than Sea Cargo which would take 45-60 days). I was able to use the BPI promo code and was able to save 15% off my payment for the shipping. Once the payment was made, I was informed that I will be able to receive it by Sept.12-17 and I received it on the 12th. 

added stickers to hide infos :D

All the items were intact, nothing was broken or missing.

Here are the 2 boxes I bought and shipped via LBC Shipping cart. Be sure to check them as well.

1. There are certain items that LBC Shipping cart cannot ship to the Philippines, be sure to check their "PROHIBITED ITEMS" section for further information.
2. When adding your LBC US address on the online stores, Be sure to put your Full name, your US address and most important the account Number. You can add this on "Address 2" field or to the "APT/Suite" section.

Update:
Recently, LBC Shipping are experiencing problem with updating the account systems.. If you encountered this, be sure to inform them. I had email them and they said that this is due to a backlog of received items in their warehouse. They are sorting this out now and hopefully all of my orders will be visible soon.
