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!
The reason they can't (won't) deliver the parcel direct to the door is that they know it came from the UK and the ££££ signs have already started rolling around in their eyeballs.
