Does anybody have any experiences dealing with bulk orders from the Philippines?

[Mr. Tasty Vapor]

We have been experiencing quite a large number of very large orders stemming from the Philippines lately. This could be a blessing OR a serious curse.

We recently had one customer from Quezon City place a couple of considerably large orders, then once they got their merchandise, they initiated chargebacks.

Since that time, we've been getting an increasing number of huge orders from the Philippines and particularly from Quezon City.

Now either a craze for our products has started there, OR the news of how easy this scam happened has sparked the attention of some shady characters in Quezon City. We're not sure which or what we can do about it yet. Having had this happen, we're pretty paranoid about large orders coming in from this country.

Do any other vendors have any experience in dealing with the Philippines? Reply here or IM me.

sounds shady. IDK how chargebacks work as far as banks go but i would think that once the charge has cleared it would take some undeniable circumstance to reverse payment.

personally....i'd just stay away. international ordering is hard already with customs esp. e-liquid.

(p.s. im filipino)

I try and stay away from the less reputable countries when selling and buying stuff in the classys, no duh, right?

Maybe the answer is an escrow type delivery service.
