I do know they consolidate and wait for your boxes to fill up. But, I'm not so familiar with how they handle designer bags and jelwelry. I've only shipped gadets and books through them. :) You should call or email them to get all the information you need before availing of their service. :) Hi Emy, thanks for dropping by.

JAC can actually consolidate your items into one package before they ship it to the Philippines. You just pay $20 if I recall correctly. That way you don't incur a huge total shipping cost. 2. When you checkout and pay your orders in Amazon, you have the option to have items get shipped together or as they become available. But take note that this option only applies to items that Amazon actually has in their warehouses. If the item doesnt come from Amazon's directly you can't consolidate them. Another thing to note is that when you consolidate your orders from Amazon, the shipping date estimate can get skewed to a later date since Amazon has to wait for all items to arrive in their warehouses. This happened to me before causing to cancel one of my orders. Hope that helps. :-) Hi Justin, here are my responses to your questions:

Have you called the JAC office in Manila to check if your items have arrived? Hi John,based on my experience items arrive within two weeks.
