Signed For...as in the recepient will have to sign a piece of paper that the post man will provide to verify that the parcel has been received. The only thing I can't understand is why can't they deliver the parcel straight -- why do they have to ask the recepient to collect it from the post office! It defeats the purpose of having postmen.

I have not heard of any laws allowing any staff of the post office to open any parcels unless perhaps if they suspect it contain illegal goods. But normally this is executed by Customs. It is not for them to charge any additional cost on postage as it has been prepaid by you.

Geezz..only in the Philippines!
