What is Buying Service?
- This is a service where Palabasalibro will buy the goods on your behalf from your chosen online store in the US/UK.
How to avail of the buying service?
- PM us the link to the item you want to buy
- We will send you a quotation which will include the price of your item and its conversion rate, international shipping cost and our service fee.
- Once we send you the quotation – this is good for 7 days only as prices, and exchange rates may change. Also this is to ensure that stock of item can still be bought with the given price quote.
- Down payment (total price cost of the item you want) must be made within 7 days. The rest of the balance (international shipping cost and service fee) can be made when items are in the Philippines and are ready to ship to you.
- We will give you an estimated time of arrival of the items also before you complete your order. This will depend on when you make your orders also. Please refer to our pre-order batch cut offs to have an idea when the next arrivals will be.
We can buy items on your behalf from sites like amazon, thriftbooks, bookoutlet, barnes and noble and the like. Books, Toys, and other merchandise can be bought, however, high ticket items like jewelry, branded bags and etc will not be accommodated. Thriftbooks and Bookoutlet limitations
- Please take note that items from sites like thriftbooks and bookoutlet are limited only. So once you get price quotes from these websites – they are only good for 3 days as the stocks on those websites might be gone by the time you make down payment. So if you really want the items from this websites – we recommend that you make down payments immediately so we can check out items as soon as possible.
- Items from these websites are usually cheap. Thriftbooks deals with preloved books and the actual condition of the books might vary. Bookoutlet books are mainly remaindered books, which is why they are discounted. They are also scratch or dented copies. So when buying from these websites – please do not expect mint condition books.
