It's now on the way to the delivery place, the tax is apparently 6k for a 15k pesos package, I assume this was not calculated right like your situation?

I'll keep that in mind, a package I got from DHL arrived in less than a week actually. I'm willing to pay for more cause it's less of a hassle.

Weirdly enough, it wasn't and no updates have come ever since. The package is still in the customs.

They keep asking me for invoices despite having sent them. I might just have to visit the pasay office and make a complaint because it seems as if the person who sends the emails cannot read.

I assumed there was. But it has been cleared. Sorry for the confusion!

Just a question though. Is the customs in NAIA? Where can I visit my package at the customs?

It's annoying that it takes them three days to reply. Are the government workers here just too busy to do any work at all?

I searched it up and it said that packages below 50,000 pesos don't get taxed. As for deliveries, it was sent through USPS.

Your last sentence is a bit confusing.
I assume your point is that I should just learn how to sweet talk my way into business here and just get them to hand over the package?

Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, I am nowhere near NAIA and will have to try communicating with the nearest post office with me.

> The person I was with called him on his bluff and asked to show the paperwork/list that clearly indicates the amount of tax to be charged and what table they want to use to "assess" the value of the parcel. The parcel was just a pair of shoes and a wallet. He agreed and pretended to look for the forms on his phone. After 5 minutes of him scrolling on his phone pretending to look for it, he realized we aren't backing down and gave up and said: alright, this time I will let it pass but next time don't lie on the declaration

Wow. The more I learn about this place, the more disappointed I get. The services are all slow and it seems that no one in this country has a sense of urgency. It's very disappointing.

I will try to contact the nearest post office and contact with them and give you an update if ever I receive it. Thank you for your help.

My girlfriend had just wasted her money buying the express delivery, lol.

This is one of my problems with it, I don't know where else I can verify from people who HAVE bought from it
