Hi can i go directly to your store and pick up my order?
Galleon is a load of BS. Ridiculous pricing that will have you end up paying > double the item’s cost. The other people who commented are correct. Most of these items are available from Amazon or eBay so it’s rather easy to compare prices. The service is really for people who are desperate or don’t know any of the workarounds like JAC, pobox.ph, etc. The simple fact is, services like this enjoy the economies of sale as far as shipping because they ship by volume, so there’s really no excuse to charge these exorbitant prices.
The best choice at the moment is still to ship to freight forwarders that provide you a US shipping address (e.g. JAC). The wait is definitely longer but at least you won’t be charged an arm and a leg. Unfortunately, this is the sad state when ordering overseas from the Philippines. In Singapore, the government postal system actually offers the same service (virtual US shipping address), and the service is impeccable and rates are reasonable. Dito sa pinas, the government exists para pahirapan ang tao imbis na padiliin ang buhay natin.

@Mimi Yes everything comes from the USA but some items are manufactured from China which means it gets delivered from China to USA then to Philippines via Galleon.ph. You can definitely ship items directly to you but you may experience some bumps along the road like surprise charges and fees. It really depends. We hope you can try our service one day. We won’t let you down.
@anonymous I’m sorry you feel that way. We try to be fair and honest with our prices as much as possible. If there is a way you can get the item here or from another source at a cheaper rate then by all means do purchase there. What we offer is convenience and superb service. We even have a 1 day warranty in case your item is broken, incorrect or lacking. We hope you can try our service some day so we can change your view towards us.
