The Benefits of Buying Electronics Overseas

Savings

Electronics are cheaper overseas than they are in the Philippines, mainly because the prices spike up after adding local tax rates and shipping fees. Gadgets are sold at a much cheaper price and have a lesser expected profit margin in countries like the United States, Japan, and Malaysia. 

If you purchase your electronics from overseas, you don’t have to worry about the added costs. You will just have to pay for the product’s SRP, plus Johnny Air Plus’ very affordable shipping fees. Get a free quotation when you visit our website. 

No more waiting for local release

Electronic brands always release their products in their home markets first. That’s why we often get the last dibs when it comes to the latest gadgets. Take for example the fact that the iPhone 12 was already released in the U.S., but it can take a few more months before they arrive in the Philippines. 

If you’re a hardcore tech fan, you can get the latest electronics before they’re even released in the Philippines if you purchase overseas. Check out our list of shopping websites to score great deals for the upcoming Cyber Monday sale!

Things to Consider Before Buying Electronics Overseas

Buying gadgets and tech overseas does come with its benefits. But before you add items to your cart and make a purchase, take a step back and consider a few things:

Warranty

While most electronic brands have international warranties, it’s good practice to check the terms before purchasing overseas. 

Check to see if the warranty is accepted by local manufacturers in your area. Also, take note of the period of the warranty, as some electronics can offer, for instance, a 5-year warranty in the place where they were purchased, but only a 1-year international warranty. 

Accessories

Also worth considering are the accessories that you would likely be purchasing for your electronic device. Some overseas gadgets sell accessories exclusively, so they may not be available in the Philippines. 

Shipping

Probably the biggest concern people have about purchasing overseas is how they’re going to ship the product from the US to the Philippines. But you can enjoy stress-free shipping with Johnny Air Plus. 

Shipping from US to Philippines is as easy as shopping from any US website, setting the shipping address to the Johnny Air US hub, wait, and receive your package in any Johnny Air Plus branches.
