Cheap shipping from PH to UK

[cheesewiz]

I did that before thru DHL in Phils I bought a few things in the Phils then send it to my self here in UK. I asked the agent in the Phils if there's no problem getting it to UK she said NO I put $100 worth on items in the box and cost me Php 5500 to send it here. After a week it arrives after I get back here no problem. To make the story short after 7 months the custom rang me to say I have to pay custom duty tax on it worth £120 morethan what I pay for it and morethan what's inside the box.

So I will never do that again ever.

sometimes it does not pay to ship things over here, when i went here 15 years ago all i had was money and a few clothes.

my sister in law gave me a present of filipino dvds last year posted it via dhl i got the present signed then he tells me i have to pay tax even it was a present. you have to be careful what you ship here, the tax might be more than what ur sending.
