philpost

[shadow]

I wanted to order something online and merchant is located in hongkong. they are shipping items thru HK post office eventually philpost will handle it here. they said it will take 10 days to arrive but diba sobrang tagal pag dating na dito sa philpost?

usually gaano katagal dumarating parcel sa philpost?

[sirkosero]

sobra laki aabutin ng taxes. my brother got a cellphone case online that was delivered to the philippines. pick up point was post office.

binili nya yung item ng 2k. bayad sya taxes 2k+ din.

same item, when bought sa mall cost around 3k lang.

malupet ang taxes dyan sa philpost.
yung utol ko one time nagpadala ng package.... puro canned goods, chocolate and some shirts lang.... philpost is charging me 4k para ma release ang package.

one time, nag order din ako sa amazon ng hard to find cd.... cd costs around 1k, binayaran ko na tax sa philpost is 1k din. napamahal pa.

I'm actually ok with the taxes what I'm more worried about is kung hinde mawawala and kung gaano kabilis makadating

shadow, kung ayaw mo mawala gamit, kailangan EMS gamitin mo para may tracking number.

[_Cathy_]

DON'T. Either you will taxed more or the same cost cost of the item or your item will get lost.

My boss sent me a package of chocolates before from Europe through post which I never received. But when he sent a package to another person using courier it arrived on time naman.

Ako madalas mag import ng items from US by USPS priority mail international. Items arrive in a week to the Central Post Office (CPO). Ang matagal yung sorting at delivery to your city PO, usually takes 2 weeks sa metro manila & more if provincial. Also, if you are importing items that are being sold in the country, mahal ang duties nun kasi available naman dito yun.

More convenient to just send thru JAC.

I ordered a book from Japan. Unfortunately, the vendor does not support delivery via Courier. The best they could do was via EMS.

Okay so fulfilled na yung order.
And I was able to track my item's Japan continent journey via EMS.
In less than a week, I was able to track my book's journey from the vendor, to their local post office, to the main Tokyo post, to Narita Airport, then to NAIA.
Then things went dark. Ayun, wala nang tracking tracking.

For one month walang nangyari.

I did not get any notification of parcel from Philpost. (aka we are holding your book ransom and you need to come over and pay)

I had to ask help from our office admin to call up the Taguig PO to see if they had my book hostage.
Ayun nakita nila. Malapit nang mag expire delivery ko at maging free for all for the Taguig PO.

I drove over to the Taguig PO to retrieve my book. 50php lang naman yung ransom na binayad ko.
Pero SOBRANG HASSLE!

Never again.

EMS or express mail is more expensive than economy mail. It arrives faster & you get the postal notice in 2 weeks. Your item gets delivered to the CPO near Domestic airport. What I don't like is the process of getting your parcel. You have to bring the postal notice & payment receipt. You wait to be called, may take more than an hour. After your name is called, they scrutinize & question you on the item. Assessment is a secret. When your name is called again, you pay the duties. Yun ang shocking part & you can't haggle anymore. That's why I'd rather go for the regular post office.

sa japan yung japan post(the japanese public heavily invest in japanese mailing bonds-it's the most secure investment for them) ata ang pinaka mayaman na public corporation na gusto iprivitize ni idol junichiro koizumi kaya matini ang mailing system nilla eh same with train.

ako sa ebay lang ako nabili and thru paypal para pag di dumating refund lang ng refund sa credit card

Not true. My mother and sister in the states sent me last Oct. 2014 a parcel containing legal documents through EMS but until now I have not received the mail. I communicated with PhilPost through email and they replied that the mail is still in transit and they have not yet received the same from US Postal authorities. PhilPost also advised me to inquire with the US Postal authorities. My sister inquired from the US Postal authorities and she was informed that the mail is no longer in US territory. I am confused as to what happened to the mail sent to me. Perhaps, it is still flying above the Pacific Ocean and has not reached the Philippines. Seriously though, I think the mail is lost.

Mabilis na 10 days, wife ko regular nagpapadala pero sa Australia, mga 12-14 days average.

BTW, I ebayed from Hong Kong on 3 occasions. Items were really cheap & shipping was free. It just took a month for me to get it.

[machine.pistol]

I buy from AliExpress. I ship via DHL. Cheaper than Fedex.

Hayop mag assess ang customs sa EMS. Laki tax tapos sobrang bagal. Ubos isang araw mo doon.

Been using PhilPost when getting Ebay purchases. But use Johnny Air for Amazon orders. Never try FedEx, EMS or DHL. They'll screw you with whatever fees they can think of and stupid custom charges. At least w/ PhilPost, you can "haggle" with them... Also depends which post office. I heard required pa daw yung PayPal reciept pag galing EBay yung order sa Makati PO...

Tip: Always undervalue your declaration. If possible, declare it as a gift. And always ask for a tracking number.

How can I undervalue my declaration sa Paypal? They always ask for the Paypal receipt at kung di ko dala, the receipt is in the package. May ibang officers kasi mabait, may iba sobrang strict.

[Monseratto]

Ask the sender to underdeclare it, usually they'll oblige unless the parcel is insured and of value. As for the PayPal reciept, since the PO has no way of confirming it...

May pinaship ako from US via USPS with tracking number. Nasa customs clearance pa rin since Feb 14.
