How to buy a Rombus paddle and ship to the Philippine: a step-by-step guide

Shopping from the Ronbus US official website is the best way to get the latest releases or specific pickleball paddle models that may be sold out in Malaysia. Since Ronbus typically ships within the US, you will need a parcel forwarder like Buy&Ship.

1. Choose a Parcel Forwarder

Sign up for a parcel forwarding service that provides a US warehouse address.

• Top Choice: Buy&Ship Philippines. They are highly popular among pickleball players for shipping paddles because they charge by weight, not size (paddles are light but in long boxes).

Once you sign up, go to your Member Center and find your US Warehouse Address and your unique Member ID.

Step 2: Shop on Ronbus US

Ronbus became famous in pickleball for offering high-performance, innovative foam core paddles (like the Quanta series) at surprisingly affordable prices. Go to ronbus.com and add your desired paddle (e.g., the Pulsar, Quanta, Nova, or the latest Ripple series) to your cart.

The Ronbus Ripple R1.14 pickleball paddle costs around ₱7,000 – ₱10,000+ in the Philippines, as seen from recent listings by local sellers; however, you can buy it for US$79.99 (~₱4,690) in the United States.

Step 3: Checkout with US Address

When you reach the shipping info page:

• Full Name: Enter your name + your Buy&Ship Member ID (e.g., John PHXXXXXX). This is the most important part.
• Address: Enter the Buy&Ship US warehouse address (located in Oregon to avoid US Sales Tax).
• Phone Number: Use the warehouse phone number provided by Buy&Ship.

Step 4: Payment

• Credit/Debit Card: Ensure your credit card has “International Transactions” enabled.
• PayPal: Usually the safest and most successful way to pay on US sites if your credit card is declined.

Step 5: Declare Your Shipment

Once Ronbus ships your order, you will receive an email with a Tracking Number (usually via UPS or USPS).

1. Log in to your Buy&Ship account.
2. Visit Member Centre and click “Add Shipment.”
3. Enter the Tracking Number, the product name (e.g., “Ronbus R1 Pulsar Paddle”), and the price you paid.

Step 6: Shipping to the Philippines

1. US to HK: Your paddle will first go to the Buy&Ship US warehouse, then fly to their sorting hub.
2. Consolidate & Pay: Once it arrives in HK, you will be notified to pay the shipping fee.
   • Note: A single paddle usually weighs around 1–1.5 lbs. Buy&Ship charges are as low as PHP380 per pound.
3. Delivery: After payment, it will be flown to Malaysia and delivered to your house via local couriers.
