Hello,

I asked someone from UK to buy 2 t-shirts from an online shop. The shop doesn't ship to the Philippines, so I asked someone to buy them, have them shipped to his address in UK, then once he gets it, he would ship them to me here in the Philippines.

So, I asked him to send them through fedex. He said the cheapest he found was £40, so I send that amount to his paypal along with the payment for the 2 tshirts and shipping to his place.

He has shipped the items to me now, but I noticed he used Royal mail. I'm not really knowledgeable with shipping methods. But I believe, royal mail is not fedex right? If so, how much does the royal mail actually cost? By the way, he also sent me a picture of the package and on one part there, it states an amount of £11.91. Is that the amount that cost him?

Here is the picture of the package:


To make this post short, did he actually scam me? He used royal mail instead of fedex which we agreed upon that he would use in shipping the items.

By the way, he has shipped the items on October 5th, on the tracking number, it says it has arrived here in Manila, Philippines. But I haven't received a notice from my post office yet. I'm really frustrated, because that's the reason I want to use fedex, so that I can receive the item much faster. I think the post office is causing the delay..
