What Is ShippingCart?

ShippingCart is a U.S.-to-Philippines package forwarding service that has been operating since 2013. It gives you a U.S. shipping address — you use that address when purchasing from any American online store, ShippingCart receives the packages at their U.S. warehouse, and then forwards everything to your door in the Philippines.

The primary use case is accessing U.S. retailers — Amazon US, American brand websites, and specialty stores — that either don't ship internationally or charge high international shipping rates. ShippingCart consolidates multiple packages into one shipment, which reduces the per-item shipping cost significantly compared to forwarding each purchase separately.

How It Works

1. Create a free account at ShippingCart.com. You receive a U.S. shipping address immediately — no waiting period or fee to get started.
2. Shop from any U.S. store and enter your ShippingCart address as the shipping destination. You can order from multiple stores in the same consolidation window.
3. Packages arrive at ShippingCart's warehouse. You receive notifications as items arrive. You can request photos of received packages, repackaging, or inspection before shipping.
4. Request consolidation to combine multiple packages into a single shipment. This is the main cost-saving step — one international shipping charge instead of several.
5. Enter the referral code at checkout, choose your carrier and shipping speed, and pay. ShippingCart ships to your Philippine address with full tracking.

How to Apply the Promo Code

The code applies during your first ShippingCart checkout when your shipment meets the 5 lb minimum:

1. Go to your ShippingCart dashboard and initiate a shipment request.
2. On the payment page, locate the promo code or referral code field.
3. Enter the referral code and confirm.
4. The 15% discount applies to the shipping cost of your first order.

The discount is on the shipping fee, not on the value of the products you purchased. For a first-time user with a typical 8–10 lb consolidated shipment, 15% off is a meaningful reduction on what can otherwise be a substantial international freight charge.

What ShippingCart Costs

ShippingCart charges by actual weight or dimensional weight, whichever is higher. Dimensional weight accounts for the size of a package relative to its mass — large, light items (like clothing or toys) often bill higher than their scale weight suggests.

Rates vary by shipping option: economy air is the cheapest but slowest; express options cost more but deliver faster. ShippingCart's website has a shipping calculator — use it before placing orders to estimate your total cost, especially if you're shipping items with large packaging.

Consolidation is where ShippingCart saves the most money. Shipping 10 lbs in one consolidated box costs significantly less than shipping two 5 lb packages separately. For buyers with multiple purchases from different U.S. stores, this is the most impactful cost-reduction tool available on the platform.

When ShippingCart Makes Sense

ShippingCart is most useful when you're buying from U.S. stores that don't ship internationally, or when the retailer's direct international shipping rate is disproportionately high. Common examples for Philippine shoppers: American brand websites, specialty retailers, and Amazon US for items not available through Amazon's direct Philippine delivery.

It's less useful for small, single-item purchases where the weight falls well under 5 lbs and consolidation isn't possible. In those cases, the international forwarding cost can exceed the item's value. The math works best for denser purchases — electronics, books, clothing in volume, or multiple items from different stores shipped together.

Note on customs duties: Items shipped to the Philippines through ShippingCart are subject to Bureau of Customs regulations. Purchases above the de minimis threshold may incur import duties and taxes on arrival. Factor this into your total cost estimate for higher-value shipments.
