For local shipping they are up to their promise. Shipment from other countries may causes problem due to assessment of custom for proper taxes and tariffs. hindi nila kasalanan yun. From my experience, most customs official give excessive taxes and tariffs on our small packages, while big time smugglers are having good time.

 

This is what I do,(so far so good) for small packages. First tell the shipper he/she should declare it as a gift or used item or less than $50 value and indicate your CP number. What DHL /FedEx do is they will contact you, and tell you how much you have to pay according to customs crocs. Then say "NO" to those excessive amount and Challenge the custom crocs to debates, for gift's ,used items or less than $50 value eh 35.00 lang ang babayaran mo, why pay more? nasa batas yan. So far all my packages eh 35.00 lang thru DHL. :cool:

Over the years, we have used the following : DHL, UPS, USPS, and FEDEX.

 

all of them will adhere to the unneccesary shenanigans by philippine customs duties , taxes and storage fees ( both by carrier and customs) we somehow have learned to deal with these carriers with all kinds of compromises. With FEDEX, the following have been our growing pains before:

 

1. wrong declaration, or wrong items declared by shipper, specially electronic stuff.

2. traffic.

3. was not labelled EXPRESS or URGENT so it was late.

4. We have a new driver and got lost.

5. Held at customs. ( but shows on scanner held by FEDEX)

6. The amount paid by shipper is short.

7. It was sent to the wrong address, sorry.

8. The delivery van broke down.

9. The shipment has no scan because there is failure by the radio frequency.

10. sent to wrong country.

 

there are more that I cannot think of at this time.
