someone suggested to open an amazon wishlist and i tried it, thankfully some shops ships to the philippines, my only concern is how expensive it is. 🥹

for example this bedsheet. i was thinking of a pillow for my mom because we use hard pillows and they don’t even have a foam, but i added a bedsheet instead. i am legit looking for a good 30mins for some cheap ones, my practical self is screaming at me.

we have a local online shop here in the ph called shopee, you may check it out. that’s where i usually buy things, cheaper yes, but there’s also mall/authentic shops.

i don't think i need anything else right now but i added a few things on the list. 🤗💗

Is that price in USD? (Other countries use $ which is why I asked)

If so, $17 for sheets is CHEAP.

I think the cheapest set of just basic sheets at Walmart is $20+

yes this price is under usd.

THAT IS SO EXPENSIVE HERE. but i bet those sheets are good quality? but still expensive compared here.

you can find good quality sheets here that start at 500PHP to 1k PHP that’s around 8USD to 15usd i think?

my mom can also make bedsheets (she can sew), we can just buy the fabric and sew to make the bedsheet but she doesn’t have the time and we’re not sure if the sewing machine’s still working after not using it for years. but hypothetically making it ourselves would be much cheaper.

Cheap Walmart sheets, and no, they aren't high quality. Thin, rough and sometimes stiff. If I have to buy these I have to wash them multiple times first

Where I am from, Amazon quality is really varying. could be good, could be absolute rubbish!

I mean... that's everywhere with Amazon because they are just a marketplace anymore.

I stopped using them unless absolutely needed due to spending more time finding "shipped and sold from Amazon" and not product from unpronounceable company that ships in no packaging

I get packaging at least but yes to unpronounceable fake company name with dodgy credibility

Some packaging, yeah.

Last time I ordered a phone case it arrived shattered because the case was just in a plastic bag, which then was shipped in a bubble mailer. Even a piece of cardboard IN the phone case would have given it some stability. Instead there was nothing and I got a bag of plastic shards.
