Acne.org Products
Buying acne.org products if you are from the Philippines is such a pain in the ass. It is true that from the amount you get and for the price you pay, you can actually save if you get the acne.org products. But if you are from the Philippines, the shipping may sometimes be more expensive than the actual price of the treatment you wanna get.
As far as I know, there are three options on how you can have your products shipped to the Philippines.
1. Through acne.org shipping partners where you'll pay them $40-$50. If you have the money to spend that much then go. But that's almost the price of the acne.org kit that may last you a couple of months.
2. There was an old forum I read here posted year 2013. I forgot the person who posted it but for sure, it was a girl. She suggested to order on the website and for the shipping address, you label one of the offices of Johnny Air Cargo in the US. Then you notify Johnny Air Cargo to ship your orders here in the Philippines. She said she only paid around 1500pesos for 16oz AHA, 16oz BP, and 8oz JOJOBA. But that was still during year 2013. I got mine estimated for the acne.org big kit plus 160z AHA and 8oz Jojoba and I have to pay almost 4,500pesos. NEVERMIND. If this was so, I'll choose option 1.
3. The best option is to order via amazon. It is still sold and fulfilled by acne.org but since you bought it from amazon, they have more internatonal shippin partner and for the big kit. They only charged $14. Of course it depends how much it is in peso due to conversion.
So I highly recommend buying in Amazon. The ETA is 2-4 weeks but if you are not in a hurry, it's worth it and not too painful in your pocket.
That was me suggesting the Johnny Air. By the way the PHP1,500 is only for Johnny Air's services....that amount doesn't include the products. But if the 4,500 you are saying is just for JA services...then yes...skip it. Yikes!
Ideally if shipping is an issue...Invest in the acne.org products you can't get in the Philippines. The BP and the AHA. Everything else you can find in drugstores (cleanser, moisturizer) or health stores (jojoba oil).
I just received my 1 tube of AHA from amazon. I paid P650 for shipping then i received a mail saying to pickup the package at Philpost office. I paid them p P350 customs tax plus P112 parcel fee. All in all I paid almost P2,100 for just 1 tube of AHA. I think it's too expensive. Might try something different next time.
Hi good day all,
I recommend that you try[ShippingCart]. It is a shipping service to the Philippines. I ordered the 16 oz. package set and paid around P1700 for the delivery by air [9 days]. It is a lot cheaper if you decide to have it delivered by sea [45 days according to their site]. I'll try the sea shipment next time when my set is about to get empty 1.5 months prior.
Regards!
