Time to worry is when they actually steal the ladder otself

They will have a hard fall!

I sent a boxed Christmas card to my wife when she was still in Phils and they said there was duty of P450 to pay on it. It had the Royal mail sticker on it which clearly stated it was a "greetings card" but they still had the cheek to ask for duty before she could have it.

HI Iain, So did you still pay? They said if you declare the goods as gift then you are safe, no more fees to be paid. My fault was..... i didn't put any note in there saying those are just gifts..and didn't notify them i had sent something.
anyway next time i was told to call them first before sending the parcels so not to repeat the same hassles. The person who will receive in the office will have a sure gift from me. He will make sure it won't go to greedy custom people anymore.

My wife did pay, but she only told me about after she had paid.

hi my sister had a same experience before..she received a notification card to claim the package so she went there to claim it but the post office staff told her to pay 1000 so she can have it. my sister said " i have only p500 here" and then the guy said " thats ok, give me p500 i give u the package".

many corrupt personnel there in las piñas can i tell you
they asked me to pay p2000 + 200 for advanced endorsement of marriage certificate..
that p2000 will just only go to their pocket
