Buying from Indonesia? Here's How Pasabuy Makes Shipping to the Philippines Easy
by Zia Fadhilla Thantry Luthan on Aug 11, 2026
Do you want to buy Indonesian products and have them delivered to the Philippines? You no longer have to worry about complicated international shipping, local payment methods, or customs procedures.
From viral Indonesian snacks and skincare to local fashion brands and coffee, more Filipinos are discovering products that aren't always available locally. That's where ZendEase Indonesia Pasabuy comes in. Instead of worrying about overseas payments, international shipping, or customs procedures, a trusted pasabuy service handles everything — from purchasing your items to delivering them straight to your doorstep.
If you're buying from Indonesia for the first time, here's everything you need to know about how pasabuy works and why it's one of the easiest ways to shop across borders.
What Is Pasabuy?
Pasabuy, short for "buy on behalf," is a shopping service that allows someone in another country to purchase products for you and arrange international shipping. For shoppers in the Philippines, this means you can order products from Indonesian stores, even if they don't offer international delivery. Once you send the product details, the pasabuy provider purchases the items, checks them upon arrival, and ships them safely to your address in the Philippines.
Using a pasabuy service offers more than just convenience. It removes many of the common challenges of shopping internationally, especially when buying from sellers that only deliver within Indonesia. Whether you're shopping for personal use or sourcing products for resale, pasabuy simplifies the entire buying process.
How Does ZendEase Pasabuy from Indonesia to the Philippines Work?
Step 1: Send Your Order
The first step is to share the details of the product you'd like to purchase. You can send us a DM on our Facebook or Instagram account @zendease.id with the product link, photo, or description, along with important information such as the size, color, quantity, or preferred variation. Providing complete and accurate details helps ensure the correct item is purchased and avoids unnecessary delays.
Step 2: Receive Your Quotation
Once your request has been reviewed, you'll receive a quotation outlining the estimated costs. This usually includes the product price, any local delivery fees within Indonesia, and applicable service charges.
Step 3: Complete Your Payment
After approving the quotation, you'll be asked to complete the payment. Once the payment has been confirmed, the ZendEase team will purchase the items from the Indonesian seller on your behalf. Making payment promptly also helps secure products that may be in limited stock or available for a promotional period.
Step 4: Order Verification
When your items arrive at our office, they will go through a verification process before they are shipped internationally. We will check whether the correct products have been received and may also provide photos for confirmation. If there's an issue and the seller allows returns or exchanges, it can often be resolved before the shipment leaves Indonesia. This additional quality check gives buyers greater confidence that they're receiving exactly what they ordered.
Step 5: Choose Your Shipping Method
Once your order has been verified, you can choose the shipping option that best fits your budget and delivery timeline:
- Sea Freight: The most economical option for larger or heavier shipments. It is ideal for customers who are not in a rush and want to save on shipping costs. Estimated delivery: 21–30 days after departure at a Shipping Rate of IDR 125,000/kg (approximately PHP 430/kg).
- Air Freight: The faster option for those who need their orders sooner. It is well-suited for smaller packages, urgent purchases, or higher-value items. Estimated delivery: 5–7 days after departure at a Shipping Rate of IDR 377,000/kg (approximately PHP 1,330/kg).
Choosing the right shipping method depends on your budget, shipment size, and how quickly you need your order.
Step 6: Receive Your Package
After your shipment arrives in the Philippines, it will go through customs clearance before being handed over for final delivery. Once the customs process is complete, your package is delivered directly to your address. Delivery times may vary depending on the shipping method selected and your location within the Philippines.
