In an increasingly inter-connected world, the borders and barriers to global shopping are now non-existent. The e-commerce revolution has brought tremendous power to consumers to access online stores across the globe, and buy items from there with a click of a button.
According to a 2023 think piece by Spiralytics on Filipino Online Shopping Behavior, Filipinos have embraced online shopping with so much dynamism and energy. In that study, 92% of Filipino online shoppers use their smartphones when buying, with promotional sale days shaping their behavior to try out new products. Spiralytics also notes that electronics are the most spent goods, followed by personal and household care items.
However, for Filipino shoppers, global online shopping seems to be a difficult maze. From expensive shipping rates up to the hassle of figuring out international deliveries, the journey from check-out to seeing their cargo in their doorstep is challenging.
This is where Jinio.com is revolutionizing global e-commerce. By offering an easy, cost-effective, and dependable shipping solution for U.S. purchases to be delivered to the Philippines, Jinio has become an ever-relevant companion for the discerning Filipino online shoppers.
Beyond being an international U.S.-to-PHL shipping service, Jinio is a bridge for Filipinos to take advantage of the quality and affordability of U.S. items from the likes of Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and other large retailers.
So what sets Jinio apart and how is it a shipping service that really has the Filipino online shopper in mind?
Affordable Shipping Rates
International shipping can be expensive. Jinio addresses this problem by offering the best-in-market rates that makes shipping purchased U.S. items to the Philippines within reach by every Filipino. Whether you are looking for the on-sale gadgets from Walmart, supplements from Walgreens, cosmetics from Sephora, or other hard-to-find items, Jinio ensures that delivery fees are not barriers for you to shop in the U.S. Plus, it is partnered with the country’s largest banks so you get shipping discounts when you pay shipping fees using their credit cards.
Free U.S. Address at Your Fingertips
Upon signing up at Jinio, everybody gets a free U.S. personal mailing address. That feature is particularly valuable to Filipino shoppers for two reasons: first, they can take advantage of U.S. retailers who deliver fast and for free within the U.S – for instance, if you are an Amazon Prime member; and secondly, it gives you the chance to shop from multiple stores, consolidate your multiple shipments first in your U.S. address, before having them shipped to the Philippines. For savvy shoppers, multiple purchases bundled in a single shipment means reduction in your overall shipping costs!
Mini-fication for Bigger Savings
This is a feature that is unique to Jinio and one of its strongest selling points. How many times did you experience buying a pair of shoes whose box is just way too big and space-consuming? Or cosmetics and apparel with way too thick of a packaging? The thing with shipping, you get charged by how heavy or space-consuming your cargo is. Jinio takes that extra free step of “minifying” your cargo by taking out non-essential packaging, decreases your cargo size and weight, and therefore gives you lower fees to pay.
Easy-to-use Platform and Transparent Pricing
Shop and ship through your fingertips, just with your mobile phone, and within the comfort of your homes. The Jinio website is designed to be intuitive, helping you through every single step: from sign-up, to getting your free U.S. address, monitoring whether your items arrived in that address, and tracking your shipment to the Philippines. Even your savings from the “mini-fication” process are shown. Moreover, Jinio is committed to transparency so shipping fees for published in the website, and even has an online shipping fee calculator so you can budget accordingly!
Personal Shopper Option
Apart from its core shipping services, Jinio also offers a concierge service for a fee where the Jinio staff can head over to physical stores in the U.S. and purchase your preferred items on your behalf. This is advantageous for shoppers whose item list has hard-to-find ones. Remember sale days where items on display are not up for grabs in their online stores, but are only available in their physical branches? This is the way to go.
Indeed, the world is your shopping mall. So why limit yourself to just local offerings? With Jinio, your shopping experience knows no boundaries. Sign-up today at Jinio.com and indulge in a hassle-free global shopping experience. Because you deserve to have your wishes delivered right to your door.
