Feature: Shop US Products online with HalpU!

Saturday, February 06, 2016

     Filipinos now enjoy online shopping. This kind of buying online is already a part of Filipino culture. I'm one of those Filipinos who find online shopping the easiest way to buy things that I need and want because it's hassle-free. All I have to do is go online, browse my favorite online shops, select the things that I want, pay thru my preferred payment method, and voila- wait for my package to arrive.

     It's so convenient to shop online BUT not all the time because there are things that I also need to consider like the selections of products and items available, the payment method, and shipping. I know some individuals veer away from online shopping because they don't have a credit card and they worry about the shipping rates. Another problem that I myself encountered while shopping online last year was the availability of items, as most of the items I want are available overseas like in the US and only thru Amazon. Well, looks like my dilemma of shopping US products online will be a breeze with the launch of HalpU! I'm sure you are very excited to know more of HalpU, scroll down below to see what's in store for you with HalpU!

     So what is HalpU? HalpU is an ordering tool for items available on Amazon.com. Basically you will shop US products online, send thru balikbayan box, kahit walang credit card!

1. HalpU provides an easier way for Filipinos to shop online, even without a credit card. Pinoys can now shop US products online, kahit walang credit card.

2. Your OFW relatives can shop for you and your loved ones on the HalpU website. HalpU will consolidate all orders, put it in a balikbayan box, and ship to their families in the Philippines. HalpU box content, as long as they contain personal effects, don't get taxed when it lands in the Philippines. Can I hear a resounding YES for this?!? We always worry about the taxes that we will pay once we receive products from our relatives abroad, now HalpU will make it easier for you if your products are personal effects, guaranteed no taxes, baby!

     I'm sure you're all wondering about the rates of Halpu balikbayan boxes. Cost/Rates for the standard balikbayan boxes are as follows:

RED- $55
BLUE- $65
GREEN- $75

     Because my balikbayan box is still in transit, I will share the photo of my RED balikbayan box once it arrives on my doorsteps. I'm so excited to share with you my haul! Anyhoo, shopping online with halpu.com is fun and easy. I made an account at HalpU's website and I was tasked to start filling my box. That signals to start shopping online! It's still on beta version so I was very luck to have the first dibs on their website.

     HalpU is an ordering tool for items available on Amazon.com. The site is directly connected to Amazon and displays search results real time. You can find everything on Amazon in HalpU However, since there are limitations to the interface Amazon provides, they cannot (and do not intend to) replicate the Amazon shopping experience.

     And because shopping online with US products in HalpU is like a walk in the park, I've ordered the products that are not available in local online shops. These products are my lemmings and on my son's wish list last Christmas that I was not able to buy because I don't have a credit card and I worry about the shipping fees as the products I ordered came from different seller. So with HalpU, my orders will be consolidated in one box. No need to pay for separate shipping fees and all I have to do is fill my box with goodies that I want! Sharing with you what I ordered for my son below :)

     Yay! I'm really excited to share with you what's inside my HalpU box. I'll update you more on my Instagram account so stay tuned. I'm very satisfied with my shopping experience at halpu.com! Now I can truly say that we can “Shop US products online. Send thru balikbayan box. Kahit walang credit card” with the help of HalpU!

Shop Your Favorite Stores Online

     Many of your favorite brick and mortar stores, from makeup shops and department stores to discount pharmacies, have online stores that allow customers to shop and make purchases on the internet. Take advantage of this convenient feature, but also make sure that you check a site for exclusive online deals that will allow you to save even more money. You may even be able to purchase you products online and pick them up in the store so you can have them right away without having to wait for them to ship to you. 

Sign Up for Private Sale Websites

     Private sale websites are becoming increasingly popular because they offer some really deep discounts on your favorite products every day. All you have to do to gain access to the deals is sign up for a membership with the website, which is typically free. Once you're a member, you'll then start receiving emails with exclusive offers and deals. You may be surprised by how many offers you get and how they great they are. 

Shop Web-Only Drugstores

     Drugstores that are only found online also offer some really great discounts on your favorite beauty products every day. Rather than driving to go to the store, walking through the aisles to find what you're looking for, and waiting on a long line to get to the cash register, you can instead sit comfortably at home, surf to your favorite online drugstore's website, and make your purchases. 

     Oftentimes, these websites will even have free shipping offers, especially when you spend over a certain amount of money, so this is a good reason to stock up on your favorite products so you won't have to buy them again for a long time. And, of course, sign up for mailing lists to gain access to exclusive offers and sales to save even more money.

Stock Up by Buying More Now

     The great thing about online shopping is the fact that you can buy many of the same product in order to save money. By purchasing in bulk in this manner, you can really save a lot of money in the long run, especially if you purchase during a sale or you have a really good discount code to apply to your order. 

     Again, many people choose to purchase more in order to save money on shipping costs, but purchasing in bulk ultimately allows you to make fewer purchases over time, which will also save you more money. The key is to make your purchases when the prices are at their lowest. After all, there aren't any restrictions set upon how many of a single item you can buy online. 

Shop on Amazon

     Amazon is the biggest and most popular online retailer, and you can find just about anything, including a vast array of beauty products, on there. The great thing about Amazon is the fact that you can get free shipping after you spend a certain amount of money. Plus, there are many third party sellers available that have their own products for sale, so you have a lot more options than first meets the eye. This allows you to compare prices and get the lowest priced deal on any item that you're searching for. And at these low prices, you can definitely stock up so you can save even more money in the long run. 

     If you want to, you can even start selling beauty products yourself online. Click here to learn about how you can start your very own ecommerce website quickly and easily. However, even if you don't want to sell the products yourself, rest assured that there are plenty of websites out there where you can purchase you favorite beauty items at the lowest prices so you never have to break the bank just to look great.
