post office

[eljean]

i totally agree with you. take ages before i receive parcels, letters, cards my husband sends and u have to pay certain pesos before u can get it at there office not door to door plus not totally sealed opposite way (from phil to uk) takes days or a week only. Phil post is so slow if its important docs like eljean said better use other courier so ur gf can get it quick, safe and sound

and another thing is that if it's a parcel from abroad they are about to open it first up and check if there is any valuable things in there and if there is they charge you morei mean ehhhh????? not to be so proud of

I have had things going AWOL on parcels sent to Pinas,and have sent birthday cards etc which were opened at that end Bad postal service with an equally bad rep

I once sent a dvd player to my vimvie in philippines..(it was me wooing her, haha!) we waited one month I think and it didn't arrive! Feeling miffed I sent her a second one right away... 'Cause I knew my Vimvie loved her movies and I so wanted her to have a dvd player...and....you know how this story is going to end don't you? Two weeks later she recieved 2 dvd players! I've actually sent loads of stuff to Philippines...it's nothing unusual for it to be late, but nothing I ever sent got stolen...

A country that has a bad reputation for having mail stolen, from what I gather, is Greece!

yes i agree i had experienced it before, the first time i received my husbands parcel they open it first see if all the items listed was there nothing valuable really just it has to arrive in my own hands not to others

So far i received all things he sending me will take ages though
