Jomarr/Caleb! Thanks for recommending FRS.  Just got my package today, and they're very customer-friendly and accommodating. Like, seriously. Although I was so scared for life when I realized that our package weighed 3 LBS. I mean, we only had 9 CDs.  Pero we had that coupon or whatever that is called, and they still approved that.  Finally got a hold of these CDs!
CDs

*two copies of Ellie's album (for me and my  )
(M.I.A. is not included)
I got MDNA for $2.89 and Femme Fatale for $3.50 smthn. That's like Around P350 for two CDs.

Nice! May I ask how much did the Mayday Parade album cost? did you also buy that online?
Also, aren't some of those cds like the Madonna album available here locally?

The Mayday Parade album costs around $7, and yes. All of them were from Amazon US.
And yup! But I really dislike the tacky Philippine Edition logo on those.  I also do not like the quality of the booklet. Di pantay ang edges ng booklet, minsan malabo ang printing (I can be very OC with stuff). And besides, nakamura ako kay Madonna and Britney.

I just found out that "Night Visions" is already available here  . But I'm still waiting for my copy which comes from the US, because the ones here have the "Philippine Edition" logos on them

You're welcome! May I ask if you bought the CDs from Amazon directly or from third party sellers? I transacted with them twice. The first time wasn't that good but it was my fault. The second was flawless. The third time, me and caleb are buying from third party sellers and are very keen on the shipping costs. It's tricky. Please answer me, thanks

I know  if only I knew they were releasing it here, I would have asked a different cd that's not available here. But oh well, at least I have my copy already..

On Amazon, you can buy directly from them or third party sellers.
It's complicated with the Third Party Sellers. Well not really but shipping fee is tricky. The first time I bought CDs there my Shipping Fees doubled.

I think we bought MDNA and Femme Fatale from third party sellers (because they aren't "sold by Amazon"). Although they were sold by third party sellers, they have that "Fulfilled by Amazon" thingy, and are eligible for Super Saver Shipping.
It was tricky indeed. It's a good thing we used the cardless option. We gave the links to FRS, then they gave us a Purchase Order which includes all the description of the fees. At first, we had been charged $10 shipping free from Amazon to their office, so what we did was ask them what was that for when we ordered stuff that are eligible for free shipping. They changed that ASAP, so we didn't pay that amount, but only the cost of our items + $4 for stuff I don't know.
There was a problem yesterday, though. But it wasn't much of a hassle for us because it wasn't our fault. Nahiwalay kasi si Britney sa main box, so we were actually bound to pay two packages. Pero a personnel said na one Purchase Order lang kasi so it wasn't our fault.

FRS is a freight service that allows people to buy stuff from US stores without a credit card. We bought all the CDs from Amazon, but we used FRS' service for that since we don't have a credit card.  It's hassle-free, and fast.

I took around less than 3 weeks to arrive. We ordered last Jan. 29, and we got it yesterday. (It's not door-to-door tho. We had to claim it from the FRS office)

We placed an order, then they're going to print out a Purchase Order containing all the information about your order. We paid for it in Peso equivalent of how much our overall order costs (somewhere around $65, so $65 x P41 = our fee)

So you only get a purchase order first then pay it at their office when your package arrives?
where is their office?

Why are shaina and maja even considered the dance floor divas? I mean...  theyre not even good dancers, they can follow the choreography but it takes so much more to be considered "dance floor divas". They have no rhythm and passion imo.

Yes. But you need to be keen on some price-deducted CDs on Amazon. Some prices are fluctuating.
You need to have a purchase order, then pay for the full price first. Once you paid the full price, that's the time they will buy your orders for you. Then you'll have to wait for the package to reach their US office, and then once it arrives there, it will be shipped here in the Philippine office.
Once it arrives here, all you are now to pay is the shipping fee/handling fee.
And their office is along Quezon Avenue, paglagpas ng West Ave.
If you are looking to try their order, tell me. They have this promo that if I recommend their service, I'll get $5 off the freight service fee. The same goes to the one I'll recommend.
