hi mark you can forget about sending the car or pick up truck,,,it would cost far to much money to bring it into the philippines ,,,ie,,tax and re registering it,,,as the will charge you what they think the car or truck was valued when new ,,i was going to send my superbike back to the philippines but after a few people we met in mamila in the transport agencies told me it was not worth it as i would be heavily tax on it,,,as for the rest of the items you have mention karen and i just sent back 110volt sds drills and 9inch and 4inch grinders plus 1010 watt 230volt steel drill also light fittings and taps and dies ,,but we sent these back by box,,,,also go to ace hardware and you will find bosch drills grinders and a lot of millwakee power tools ,,,hope this helps you ,,,john and karen

hi thanks for your prompt reply
usefull how do you know the tax a registering is high by experience ?
id love to take my bike i have a triumph rocket three but thats not very practical tools would all be 220/40 volts as ive no desire to use 11o infact i isolated the 11ov supply into the house and made everything inside 220 now it took some working out
i did see fake makita stuff then eventually the real stuff and few dewalt bits too but at hell of a price as over yrs of dealings here in uk i could start a shop with the clobber ive got so as i would get little here for it if feasable i would love to send it
how can they value you at its new price surely they use a similar type of system here referance its value obv its uk docs would show its age
its not that i dont believe you it would not suprise me one bit little does the philippines never ceases to amaze me
i was told that if i rented a house on the local ex usa base {subic bay freeport as a resident there the allowance is two vehicles can be imported obv thats a one off thing but i have yet to find out if reality or not
but maybe thats why the cars there hold a big value im amazed they do anyone else have any knowledge of this???
ive not seen ace hardware stores is it a common chain there ive only used the local places which was interesting if not frustrating at times
everything was such low quality as im an oldie the best bit is they seem to have adopted the american af measurement and inches
lastly sending a box did the items attract any charges eg import duties etc ???

hi mark yes i got my brother inlaw to inquire about me sending my yamaha thundercat back to the philippines and he inquired with a few people (lets just say high in the transport office) who said it would cost me to much,,plus the red tape and papers to register the bike there with new plates,,,,,type into google about bringing a car or bike to the philippines ,,the answers are bad ,,,i like you mark would love to have my bike there even for holidays,,,plus as my brother inlaw said although my bike would be worth 1800 pounds here in the uk it would be worth about 4000 pounds back in the philippines,,,,,,,,as for the balikbayan boxes we have sent computers tools,,deep fat fryers just about everything you can think of in them with no problems at all and we have been sending boxes back from jan 2006,,,,,,mark you will find the ace hardware in the Shoe mart shopping centers also the sell car parts as well,,,i bought a bosch 9 inch angle grinder there 220 volt think it cost 8'000 peso thats about 85 pounds brother inlaw is still using it,,,yes mark ace hardware is something like B&Q here but you will only get it in the shopping centers,,,,,we have our own house in antipolo city and there is loads of small hardware shops but we only use them for tiles wood and angle iron and bathroom fittings anything else we go to,ace hardware ,,,,,,,,,,,mark type ace hardware philippines into goole and you will see their outlets hope this helps you ,,,,,john and karen
