I love to shop online, so much so that I’ve even been featured because of it! I had a very short but sweet feature in Working Mom Magazine discussing the benefits and sharing some tips on making online purchases.
I find that I can get pretty unique gifts and also hard to find products. The one thing I have been looking for that I haven’t found or just haven’t had the time to scrounge for in malls is a sleepcover for my beloved Kobo Glo so you can imagine how thrilled I was to have found one on Galleon, an online shopping site.
Galleon has so many products which you won’t find in the Philippines. It turns out that they started as wanting to be the Amazon of the Philippines.
I wanted an authentic Kobo Glo sleepcover for my ereader and not just any cover. It was surprisingly easy to navigate the site. I searched for Kobo Glo and got back quite a few results though there some other ereader products in the mix I easily found what I was looking for. The best thing about it was that it was discounted!
I immediately added it to my cart. You can browse and purchase as a guest but I recommend signing up for an account because they keep you up to date on the progress of your order.
I love the emails I get from them it feels like I’m talking to a pirate!
An international shipping fee is added on to your amount and delivery can be expected in 10-15 business days (Metro Manila). I made my order on Jan 7 and received it on Jan 26 exactly 15 days.
Payment options are many and can be found here.
Here it is! I was so thrilled to receive it! The Kobo Glo Sleepcover not only protects my ereader but it also opens up to the last page I was on automatically but more about that on my next post.
If you’re looking for specific products not available in the Philippines then you have to try Galleon.

I’ve been wanting to get a Kobo for the longest time … I love online shopping too 😀
How is Kobo different from Kindle? I’m interested to learn more about it. 🙂 I’ll be checking Galleon if they have kindle protective cover as well.
Hi May! I haven’t used a Kindle yet so I’m not sure of the difference. I love my Kobo though and it’s everything I thought it would be for an ereader.
I love your cover! I’ll try Galleon one of these days!
I do love browsing Galleon.ph’s website to look for hard-to-find items! Reminds me, I need to buy a cover for my tablet, too.
This store looks awesome! Can’t wait to purchase my first product from Galleon!
Thanks for sharing!
I’m browsing the site now and finally I found the ninja turtle toy that I am looking for since last year. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve tried Galleon also when I was looking for a child seat for my bike. 🙂 My search yielded results but I eventually bought it from a surplus shop. Good to hear about it here. 🙂
Checking this out now. There are lots of products I want for my kids which we don’t have here. Thanks for sharing!
We used to partner with Galleon for running items years back. I hope they added more hard-to-find items like gadgets for running and fitness.
I’m not really fond of online shopping, but my husband is. I’ll recommend this website to him tonight. He might find something that he likes for himself or for us (wife and son).
