Galleon.PH Online Store Offers Items Not Available in the Philippines

 

Galleon.PH is a new local e-commerce website that offers a new online shopping experience.  The website only showcases products that are not available in the Philippines, making it different from the usual online stores.  All products are sourced directly from US suppliers and shipped to your address.

Have you seen exciting products on Pinterest but you know it’s not available in the Philippines? Chances are, it is available on Galleon.PH. Try to visit the site and you’ll be amazed at the available products.  The site has a selection of unique and exciting items ranging from clothing, food, electronics, books and jewelry, among others.

If the product you want is in Galleon.PH’s database, you can buy it immediately using the ‘buy now‘ button.  If it’s not in the database, you just search for it using the search tool of the site and Galleon.PH will source the product and email you once the price has been provided.  This concept is a method of crowd-sourcing which allows users to discover and buy new products.

Galleon.PH capitalizes on the popularity of Facebook, that’s why it also calls the shopping experience on Galleon.PH “social shopping”.  Before you can buy anything or save an item to your collections, you are prompted to log on to Facebook.  You can also share your purchase on popular social networking sites like Twitter, Google + and Pinterest.

Deliveries on Galleon.PH take about 10 to 15 days if you are located in Metro Manila and about 15 to 20 days if you are located outside Metro Manila. Payments can be made using credit card, Gcash, Smart Money or bank deposit.

  1. ErwinBriones I apologize for the delay in shipping your items last year. There are times that our shipments are offloaded because of volume of shipments within the same period. We only had 2 incidents that this happened last year. Although this is still our fault, the best we can do is inform customers such as yourself as early as possible. We hope that you can try our service again in the future.

  2. @Jeff I apologize if you feel that way. Do note though that we focus mainly on items not available locally. Our prices include shipping and custom fees which means the bigger the item, the more expensive it is

  3. @bryl Sorry for the late response just now. Was someone able to followup with you last year? Our customer service is now much better and faster because of the new tools we use.

  4. Sinasabi nila from US yung items nila and 10 to 15 business days ang ETA. So here’s the truth. Most of his items can be found in ebay.com, free shipping galing China! OO! Galing China.. Trust me.. See if for yourself.. You just need the talent in searching in ebay.. Namimili ako mismo sa ebay kaya alam ko.. Shipping fee at customs fee.. Shipping fee, karamihan ng items nya pwede kong bilhin ng FREE SHIPPING via China post, then dadating na yun sa post office at magbabayad ako ng 50 pesos na customs fee at dumadating after 2 to 3 weeks, same lang sa kanya.. So kapag sinabi nila na mahal yung babayaran na customs fee, umasa ka maliit lang yun kasi the more na maliit ang item, the more madaling pakawalan sa post office.. Minsan nga mga mailman lang ang kumukuha nun at dinadala sa mga boss nila ng hindi bukas ang package.. AT! Pwedeng ipa under declare ang items! For example, ang bili mo talaga online is $20, pwede mo ipadeclare ng $2 lang, unless super common na sya na may idea na mga tiga customs magkano talaga ang worth nun.. PERO! May alam akong lugar, dadalhin pa ng mailman sa bahay nyo ang package, hindi nabubuksan! 50 pesos lang ang babayaran! Kaya sa mga pumapatol sa presyo nya, sasabihin ko na lang na they are after the convenience na lang siguro, o kaya sadyang wala silang alam sa SRP ng bagay na yun.. pero usapang presyo.. Grabe.. Tubong balde balde ng lugaw itong si kuya.. Sana bago kayo mag post ng presyo nyo, mag check muna kayo, at sana bago nyo sabihing wala sa Pilipinas ng item na yun, siguraduhin nyo muna.. Napapahiya kayo.. Maka presyo kayo sobra sobra pero makita kita ko sa tabi tabi.. Sa palengke.. O sa mga tyange magkano lang.. Isipin nyo rin nagiging image nyo galleon.. Baka sa halip na gumanda image nyo.. Mapahiya lang kayo sa huli..

  5. honestly, galleon. ph is an over priced store (most items are, even 400%!) and if you compare shipment time to int’l ordering, its thesame as waiting for galleon. i dont know why people keep on buying overpriced items. its their own choice but actually if youre a keen minded and smart spender, it would be nice to think twice before buying from them. fyi: suppliers they have also are also sellers from ebay. why not try banggood, aliexpress and buyincoinns r some stores like them. they, galleon.ph just abuse the “unvailability” of products locally. yes, theyre doing business but they really spoil our online market. well its up to you folks to decide carefully. its your choice
