Anong magandang courier for international shipping? Any suggestions? TIA!

Sis the fastest and reliable courier that you can get is via DHL Express! I love that courier ♥

[Nikimo]

usually when it comes to tracking.. nawowork siya doon sa destination na padadalhan mo.. let's say nagpadala ka sa canada.. dun sa website nila ilalagay mo yung tracking #

Pa join po 

my brother - in-law sent us a small package as christmas presents. As per the tracking number, as of Dec 13, 2013, item is for custom examination. Until now we have not received it yet and the tracking still shows for custom examination.  Would it be better and faster, if i just go to ems in pasay? thanks!

^ pag ganyan usually for pick up.matagal talaga ang ems

[smoothie]

^^Just read that since nagpalit ang leadership ng BOC. Maraming packages ang na-stuck sa customs. That's why may delay. Up to 5 months daw yung delay nila.

Natawagan mo na ba yung EMS main office? Check mo agad. Baka kasi need pa lang ikaw magpickup (may mga ganung cases) dahil nagkaprob sa customs, baka magbayad ka pa ng storage fees kapag matagal na palang naka-tengga dun.

[sushiandshoes]

Sis mas okay pa rin yung free shipping via registered airmail. Dapat pag $45 and below yung package mo, PHP 50 lang yung tax. Pag $46 and up naman yung value ng package, aabot sa hundreds to thousands yung ipepay mo na tax.

Baka siningil ka pa ng storage fees. Depende rin kasi sa item. Yes, mas simple lang kasi ang process pag EMS.

from DHL ba ang package mo?
Registered mail, normal mail na arrival time is 15-30 working days.
Its not always free, depende sa pagbibilhan mo.
Registered meaning trackable siya.

yung 50 sa local PO yun.. sa EMS may 50 pesos din na fee aside from the tax.

Sa ems, medyo swerte lang din minsan lalo na kahit na below 50USD ang declared value.
pero eto yung proven ko na once the item is not marked as gift then chance na taxable siya is 80%.
for items na marked as gift then hindi USD ang value, (like yen, rmb, baht etc..) then more than 50USD siya pag naconvert, its 50% chance na ma-tax.
pag less than 50USD and marked as gift (regardless kung iba yung currency at hindi fragile/electronics), chance na matax is 20% lang.

eto based from experience lang ha, every year I have at least 10 boxes from EMS.. 2x pa lang ako na-tax.. I know someone from the inside pero not advisable kasi they take advantage.

wow, ang swerte mo! ako kasi laging may customs fee. okay lang naman sana, kaso ang mahal eh.. di pa consistent. tapos doble pa maningil nung, I forgot kung anong tawag, pero worth 250 pesos na fee. So nagiging 500 sinisingil (same name of fee lang). Depende din ba sa weight yun? 4kg of goods narereceive ko eh
