HELLO!. Is my layover time enough to avail the Free Singapore Tour? It says in the website that layover must be minimum of 5.30 Hours, my time is fit, HOWEVER, I'm a bit hesitant on MY FLIGHT DEPARTURE TIME From CHANGI and the MUST flight departure time indicated in the website. Is anyone here experience this kind of Flight schedule? I can't find anybody to ask about this matter.
Just saw a bag posting on Facebook, worth 2,799 pesos. I tried to find similar product to see if the listing is authentic, then I accidentally found same pic listing in Mercari and with the third party Buyee.com. So, I compare the price and seems like it’s quite lower compared to the posting in Facebook, so maybe the gamble will be on the international shipping fee later and how long it takes to arrive on my doorstep. I bought the bag listing in Buyee worth 5,000 yen or 2, 014 pesos + forex exchange fee (using my Credit Card), the total cost is 2,237 pesos.
In the other side of the story. After I checked out the bag in Buyee, I contacted the seller who posted the same bag on Facebook and ask if the bag still available and seller said “SOLD”, I was very Happy that it was me whom the Japan seller sold the bag.
Back to Buyee story, here comes the slightly thrilling part, after the Japan seller shipped the bag and arrived in Buyee Warehouse which took 3 days, the app notify me to choose shipping options, in photo # 5 above, I choose Small Pack (AIR) without tracking because I’m trying to cut cost in the shipping fee so that it won’t exceed to the price posted on Facebook. I’m a bit hesitant, doubtful and so many what Ifs but still proceeded with the shipping option. The cost of the shipping will be just 740 yen or 290 pesos + forex exchange fee again, the Grand Total of 302 Pesos. Here’s the test of patience and trust part, July 13, 2026, my order shipped out from Buyee warehouse. July 16, 2026, I received an email saying that my item was dispatched from warehouse (I don’t know which warehouse) it also indicates the Tracking number but reminded me saying that tracking the parcel is unavailable. I’m so excited to receive my order since it’s my first time to buy item directly from Japan and it is an entry level luxury branded bag which definitely a steal. I Keep on searching how can I track my Order and read a lot here in Reddit to check the Philpost website or call them instead if the instinct struck you that your item has already arrived in its destination country which is Philippines.
July 23, 2026, I’m taking the chance to check the tracking in PhilPost Tracking Website, I was verry happy that my order has already arrived at local Philpost and it said it’s for delivery on June 21, 2026, see photo # 8. So, I decided to pick up the parcel on my own on June 24, 2026, and Yes, I got my package, I thought there will be fees I have to pay, good thing I didn’t pay any extra fees though. The Bag is preloved yet seems Like New, just a dot of scratch, Great Buy Experience. About the Bag Authenticity? Yes It is absolutely Authentic.

What works for me might not work for you. So, think before you purchase.
I suggest Not to expect too much If you’re buying bulk, fragile, things you don’t want to be folded and consolidated items.
