Wired internet connection

hello we are currently moving in to a townhouse in Santa Ana Manila. We are planning to get another wired internet provider besides PLDT. Does anyone here have a experience in the said area and also the times when there's no internet and how long it takes for the interbet to resolve.

I'm currently eyeing on;
CONVERGE

Tiktok growing business

For those selling on TikTok Shop, I’d really appreciate your advice! 🙏

Our business recently grew from around 10–20 orders per day to 70–150 orders per day, and we’re having a hard time keeping up with the increased volume.
We already have packers/staff, but we still occasionally encounter wrong items, missing items, misplaced orders, and packages that become overdue for shipment.

For those who are experienced with handling 100+ orders per day, how do you manage your workflow to make sure orders are packed and handed over to the courier within the required timeframe?

A few things I’d especially like advice on:
• How do you organize your orders from picking → checking → packing → labeling → dispatch?
• How many staff do you normally assign for 70–150 orders/day?
• What system do you use to prevent wrong, missing, or misplaced items?
• How do you train new staff to pack accurately while still being fast?
• How do you prioritize orders when the courier pickup deadline is approaching?
• Do you use any scanning, inventory, batching, or tracking system to minimize mistakes?
• How do you make sure everything is packed before the courier arrives?

We want to improve our process rather than simply adding more manpower. Any tips, SOPs, workflow systems, or lessons from your own experience would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Especially interested in hearing from sellers who went through the same transition from 20 orders/day → 100+ orders/day.

Thank you

First Time Selling on TikTok Live and Already Getting Violations – Need Advice from Experienced Sellers

Hi everyone,

We recently started doing TikTok Live to sell and to be honest, we’re feeling a bit overwhelmed.

On our very first few live sessions, we already received violations, even though we were trying our best to follow TikTok’s guidelines. Some of the violations were confusing, and we’re worried that repeated violations could affect our account, reach, or ability to go live in the future.

For those who have been selling through TikTok Live for years:

What are the most common mistakes new sellers make?
What types of content or phrases should we avoid during live selling?
How do you ensure that your live streams remain compliant with TikTok’s policies?
products?
How do you handle situations when you believe a violation was issued incorrectly?
Any tips for growing a TikTok Live business while minimizing the risk of violations?

We’re hoping to learn from those who have already gone through the challenges of building a successful TikTok Live business. Any advice, experiences, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and helping newcomers navigate the platform! 🙏

First Time Going Live on TikTok – Got Hit With Violations. Looking for Advice From Experienced Sellers/Creators

Hi everyone,

We're new to TikTok Live and recently started going live for our business. Unfortunately, we've already run into a few violations, and we're trying to better understand what we're doing wrong and how to avoid future issues.

TikTok Live is completely new territory for us. Some of the violations seem unclear, and we're concerned about accidentally affecting our account standing as we continue to grow on the platform.

For those of you who have experience with TikTok Live:

  • What are the most common mistakes new hosts make?
  • Are there specific words, topics, or actions that frequently trigger violations?
  • How do you stay compliant while still keeping your live streams engaging?
  • Do you review TikTok's policies regularly, and if so, which sections are most important for live sellers/creators?
  • Any tips for preventing violations before they happen?

We're eager to learn and do things the right way from the beginning. Any advice, best practices, or lessons you've learned over the years would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Business owners selling from Philippines to USA

Hello. I would like to seek advice from business owners and sellers who have been shipping products internationally for many years, particularly from the Philippines to the USA. I usually ship collectible toys within Philippines and would like a courier that offers reliable delivery, reasonable rates, and a tracking system that allows the recipient in the United States to monitor the shipment status.

I have considered DHL, but the shipping cost is quite expensive plus tariffs and taxes upon delivery of the item to the US. Could you please suggest other courier options that provide good service and tracking capabilities?

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your recommendations.
