9 hard-to-find items Filipinos are shipping from the U.S. right now

Presented by SHIPPING CART

PRESENTED BY

So the secret’s out. The savviest shoppers know that Shipping Cart is the key to getting their favorite U.S. products delivered to their doorstep in the Philippines. We’ve already unearthed the coolest American products making their way to the Philippines, and we’ve recently revealed the weirdest items too. (No judgment here!) The random items on our latest list have two things in common: they’re super hard to find, and you can get them delivered to your home via Shipping Cart.

 

Michael Jackson’s “Off The Wall” on vinyl

Ask any Michael Jackson enthusiast and they’ll tell you that his critically acclaimed 1979 album Off The Wall is best listened to on vinyl. We’d have to agree—if we were cool enough to own a record player, and apparently many people still do. That’s why obtaining MJ’s record-breaking record is quite a challenge.

 

Black Kyliner Kit

You’d know Kylie Jenner’s signature booty carefully contoured face anywhere, but not only is she the new undisputed queen of selfies (sorry, Kim K), breaker of Snapchat records and mother of marketing ploys, she’s also a newly minted cosmetics guru with a ginormous following. And that huge horde of Kylovers lives to snap up her products as soon as they go online, making these cosmetics some of hardest to buy in the whole world, and we Filipinos are not ones to be left behind. Discerning citizens of Metro Manila ensure their faces are Ky-ified by shipping Kyliner, Lip Kits, and other forms of makeup we’re pretty sure didn’t exist a decade ago, directly to their doors via Shipping Cart.

 

Z- joyee Unisex USB Rechargeable LED Sport Shoes

This product gives a whole new meaning to the term “flashy footwear.” Something about these shiny, metallic, unisex sneakers, complete with flashing lights, have ignited people around the world to a shopping frenzy. The soles light up with seven static colors and four color changing modes. Don’t be surprised if people think you’re starting a flash mob when you rock these babies in downtown Manila. The best part is you can charge these shoes with your phone charger. We can imagine the awkwardness now, “Sorry can’t make it, have to charge my shoes” or “Ahh, my shoes are at one percent battery—gotta powerwalk!”

 

Werewolf

Although real werewolves would also make sense on this list, we’re talking about the hip card game that people everywhere are scrambling to buy. Sadly, it’s almost always sold out online. The role-playing game uses minimalist cards to enact a seriously addictive game of villagers vs. werewolves. Next time you meet your friends for drinks after work, pull out this portable game from its chic felt case for a howlin’ good time, or bring it to your office and get in a few rounds during lunchtime—if you can get your hands on it that is.

 

Aliens 30th Anniversary: The Original Comics Series

As avid sci-fi fans ourselves, we’re not too surprised to see some Aliens merch on this list. This original comic book series by Dark Horse Comics came out in 1988, two years after the film. Fans went wild and bought hundreds of thousands of copies. Now for the 30th anniversary of the film, the comic series is being re-launched in all its gory glory. This dramatic hardcover edition features each page in its original black and white form—a work of art that any nerd, us included, would love to own.

 

Solar-powered wall-mounted LED lights

Ok, we know what you’re thinking. LED lights aren’t exactly the most exciting item on our list (how could we top those sneakers?!), but we’re pretty sure that the 2,900 people “watching” this item on Amazon would disagree. LED lights are in huge demand now – they don’t heat up and they last pretty much forever – or 100,000 hours, if you’d really like to know. Use these solar-powered bad boys to light up your front yard, or if you’re an apartment-dweller like us, use them on your balcony for a stylish industrial look.

 

Western-style leather horse saddle stirrups

Whoa, there cowboy! Settle down, because we’ve found the stirrups of your dreams. These high-quality stirrups in real leather are guaranteed to match any saddle. Not that we know anything about saddles, but at under USD30 that seems like a sweet deal. That might be why they’re so darn hard to find.

 

Power quarterback/wide receiver shoulder pads

The opposing team better watch out when you come charging in with these sleek matte black pads complete with stainless steel hardware and fully-integrated RipKord technology. To a layperson, these shoulder pads might look more “Transformer” than football star, but real American football players (and fans) know just how intense the game gets. When your opponent is barreling down on you, intent on stopping your forward motion with every inch of their body, you’ll be happy Shipping Cart delivered this armor to your doorstep.

 

An affordable version of Kim Kardashian’s emerald cut diamond engagement ring

We couldn’t end this list without the appearance of at least one more Kardashian-related product. They’re flying off the shelves, people! This top seller is an affordable replica of Kim’s engagement ring. Made of sterling silver and cubic zirconia, this enormous ring will have your friends wondering which billionaire you snagged over the weekend. Either that or it’s the icing on the top of a great Halloween costume.

To score all this rare swag, and virtually anything else from the U.S., all you need to do is sign up for a Shipping Cart account and start shopping.
