FOREX is a Filipino door-to-door company. Meron din ito dito sa HK at Macao. Pag maraming Pilipino tiyak ko merong FOREx dyan.

AFAIK, bawal po maglagay ng alahas...at pag dumating yung balikbayan box.(door to door).(wag niyo muna paalisin yung nag-deliver, naka-lista lahat ang laman ng box "itemized" sa resibo) check mo muna yung mga mamahalin or importante na items kung kumpleto..bago mo paalisin yung delivery guys...

basta thru sea cargo (mahigpit sa air cargo)..walang problema sa Taxes.(well,siyempre depende rin kasi sa cargo company ito).

wag nga lang yung buong box na puno ng dvds...hehehe

DO SEND IT BY small door-to-door services. walang tax. ako nuon when i was in the US dami ko pinadala walang tax. pero minsan my mom requested for a very small item so na-send ko by USPS, ayun bayad na ko ng tax sa US nagbayad pa din ng tax sa Pinas.

UPS/FEDEX/DHL/USPS! Wala na yata akong choice.

How much ang pinatong nila na tax diyan at dito sa pinas? Sobra talaga. What is that small door-to-door service you mentioned? Give me contact numbers so I can relay it to my cousin.

Thanks.

san ba sa US cousin mo? dapat kasi nasa city siya na maraming pinoy. Forex nga din un ginamit ko sa san diego. ang alam kong price dati pa $65/balikbayan box ang freight charges. may smaller boxes din sila. wala na bayad ang tax.

why not ask your cousin to look in the yellow pages dun sa city nya, i'm sure kung meron door-to-door service dun catering to pinoys definitely nasa yellow pages yun.

nung nagpadala ako sa ermats ko via USPS, wala pa worth $150 yung pinadala ko e nagbayad ako tax sa postal office nasa $30, then bago nakuha ng ermats ko nagbayad ulit siya ng tax sa philippine postal office nasa P2000.

pwede ba gun parts sa balik bayan forex? like say slide barrel assembly? reloading machine?

**mikaztro** · April 13th, 2005 12:20 PM

I dont think so unless you have a firearm importation license.

**shadow** · April 13th, 2005 04:01 PM

yes tama si yebo $60-65/box nga door to door deliver wala silang pakialam sa wieght ng box.... saan ba sa US cousin mo? pumunta siya sa mga filipino store usually meron number doon....

**shadow** · April 13th, 2005 04:06 PM

$60 lang binayaran ko last march, at least yun lang ang iniwan ko sa cousin ko sa US kasi pick din nila yun sa bahay niyo sa orange county cousin ko nakatira....so pag around CA lang din yun cuz mo ganun din ang price....

So Forex is the best service and not Fedex or UPS? Yun nga lang, it will take 45 days. Unlike the other two you can have it within a week but with tax?

Right? BTW, my cousin lives in NJ.
