New thread na tayo mga sis!

Just an update, I went to PHLPOST Pasay, the package contains 2 shoulder bag and a shirt, all were individual gift wrapped.  I thought if the items were declared gift it would be exempted from tax, unfortunately, they charged me P3,067 pesos for tax, sabi ng matandang babae nag compute kahit daw gifts eh, may tax pa rin, nasa batas daw yun.  haisst!!!

nangyari samen yan sis doble pa yung singil sa halaga ng gift so what we did pinadala namen yung resibo dito sa PH from JP then yun naging 500 nalang yata yung binayaran.

kilala namen ng sister ko yang matandang babae na yan, mahirap kausap at talagang ang bilis magkwenta!

anong ginawa mo sis? binayaran mo???

Babayaran pa lang, mga 1k lang kasi ang dala kong pera nung time na yun.  Binase nung old lady yung tax sa nakalagay na presyo sa resibo na nakakabit sa box 120 AUD nakalagay, pinaliwanag nya  yung computation di ko rin naman naintindihan, kesyo discounted pa raw yun.  Next week ko babalikan, anyway sabi nya i have 30 days daw para kuhanin.

^Kilala ko din siya. Close kami....Pero takot ako sa kanya....Haha. Lalo na pag nagco-compute. Haha

[aicute12]

copied and pasted sa old thread. baka sakali may makasagot.

mga sis question!

thanks msnovelty!:)

Hindi ko pa naman nababayaran pero i already talked sa isang supplier sa Alibaba about the item.

Ang qoute kasi sakin is $385.99 all in na yan included na yung 68.12USD na shipping fee sa UPS. Saka yung paypal charge na 17.65USD.

Sa tingin niyo, how much yung tax na babayaran ko? 50 pcs ng item po yan.
Ang mahal pala ng UPS. Hayahay!

[glacy_rein]

^sa declared value sis titignan yan… kasi diba may sinusulat sa parcel information about dun? sabihin mo babaan lang… hindi ko nabasa kung anong items pero from laguna ka right? mataas ang chance mo na dederecho sa bahay mo yan.

just yesterday I went to San Juan Post Office to get my brother's shipment from JP hindi naman sya binuksan at mababa ang declared value pero may computation na agad amounting to 1,826. upon checking sabe ko ang mahal naman kuya?? then aun sinabe na "pwede naman mam bawasan wala nga lang resibo" ayon nauwi kame sa 700

[aicute12]

sis, manila po ako!

For UPS ba, door to door or kunin ko yun sa Pasay?
And for customs tax, si UPS na ba magcocompute?

new thread na pala, dun ko sa isa napost tanong ko

sis calin
I've been tracking my package since I received my tracking #. The first and last update was Jan14 (in transit), eh JAn22 na. Nagemail na din ako sa EMS Phils, pero wala daw silang narereceive na package na may ganung number. Anong dapat kong gawin? Hiyang hiya na ko sa mga umorder sakin, bayad na yun.. Alam niyo ba contact number/email sa customs? Ang dami ng nasa website, di ko alam kung alin dun.. tapos yung helpdesk email, waley naman.. binalik lang email ko..

[calin22]

^priority mail sis ang EMS dapat nakapost na agad yan. baka sis registered mail lang yung parcel mo..

Sis, same format naman yung tracking number natin. Starts with "EE" and ends in "CN" Pero eto lang yung update simula nung naship daw. Grabe, yung sayo three days lang PH na. Ano masusuggest mo? Naemail ko na customs at EMS PH. Sabi ng EMS dito, wala pa daw ganung tracking num. Sabi ng customs, wala din sa kanila dahil EMS dapat daw magbibigay ng notice sakin kung nasa customs [textspeak!] parcel.

Di ko na macontact yung supplier ko kasi Chinese New Year holiday na sobrang nakakainis na..

[calin22]

^antayka lang muna sis baka nga dahil sa chinese new year kaya nadelay. wala magagawa yung EMS or customs dito sa pinas kung di pa lumalabas sa China ang parcel. 

[missynoveltyshop]

^ ay grabe! kaya nga Jan 13 ko inorder, para di na ko umabot sa holidays... tapos ganun din.. anyway, thanks sis ha!

I'll update you girls kapag nareceive ko na (pero sana naman di abutin ng FEB. hiyang hiya na ko sa buyers ko).


UPDATE:
As of Jan 24, meron ng bagong update yung package ko from EMS (China). Guess where it is? It's in SWITZERLAND. How it got there, I will never know until magreply sakin yung supplier. Grabeeee!! Baka merong may alam dito kung ilang days bago makakarating yung package sakin kung galing Switzerland so frustrating

[missynoveltyshop]

Anybody knows kung ilang days bago mareceive ang package from Swiss Post (Switzerland) to Philippines? Di ko talaga alam kung pano nangyari pero yung package ko from China using EMS eh napuntang Switzerland. Based from my research, nangyayari lang toh kapag lighters/flammable(?) yung items. Pero usb lang naman laman ng package ko. Wala pang 1kg.

[calin22]

^baka the seller gave you the wrong tracking number or just a random tracking number.
legit ba sis ang supplier mo?

[missynoveltyshop]

He's actually legit, based from his star ratings (hundreds of feedback). Ang sabi sakin ng seller, ang reason daw eh kelangan daw talagang i-route papuntang Switzerland yung package pagpapuntang PH (which I know is really a joke). He said either that or nagkamali daw talaga ng delivery ang EMS at ayaw lang umamin para hindi irefund yung shipping fee so frustrating. Wala pa ring update since Jan24

[smoothie]

Either Mali siya ng pinag-ship na address or pinadala niya via registered mail.

Sis, EE ang start ng tracking # ko and ends with CN. Ano ba format pagregistered mail? Same din ba?

[calin22]

^is he/she from ebay? and did you pay via paypal? kahit na marami ratings ang seller, di pa din tayo 100% sure dun, and some sellers buys rating and reviews

most of the ems parcel are insured, so if you lost the parcel.. the seller can refund the whole amount you paid, if its not and your seller is from ebay, may return policy sila dun basta you paid via paypal.

More info:
Registered Mail tracking number should starts with "R".
Air Parcel tracking = "C" (optional tracking)
EMS Tracking = "E" (optional insured or not)

anywhoo, sana sis makuha mo na yung parcel.. i really think mali lang yung tracking number na naprovide or check din the address na binigay mo.

[missynoveltyshop]

mga sis na mababait  as of yesterday nakalagay "Arrival at Sorting Area, Manila PH" na yung status. Siguro ilang days nalang hawak ko na yung package.. nag-ask na din ako ng shipping refund dun sa seller at pumayag naman siya kaya okay na siguro

we will really never know kung bakit napunta sa Switzerlang yung package. Siguro lesson learned na rin sakin. Lagi na lang TNT gagamitin ko if I immediately need my goods. thanks sa lahat ng nagreply

[Pinkunicorn]

Hi mga sis!

I sent a package theough EMS yesterday to the USA sa SM San Lazaro, they gave me a tracking number kaso I can't track it on the Philpost site. It says that there is no record of it kaya I'm getting paranoid, given the philpost's reputation. Eh I have no other choice but to send it through philpost kasi it's gonna be sent to a military address, which requires my package to go through USPS. for those who has sent through EMS kelan niyo nastart i-track yung sinend niyong items? Thank you!

[smoothie]

give it a couple of days sis then track it again. If you cannot track it via Philpost, use the USPS website.
