Most don’t/ won’t ship to a freight forwarder or overseas. The ones that do, declare the full customs value (and its 20% or more - sometimes 100%) taxes. Plus it’s $60 to $100 for small items in DHL shipping charges.

Amazon ships for only a cheap fee (about $10 per item) direct the Philippines with no customs hassles.

So if I want American-quality goods, and not cheap Communist Chinese junk, it’s Amazon or nothing. (Even stuff made in China is higher quality if bought in the US)
