unsa man diay arrangement ninyo ana sa parcelforce? after ma clear na sa customs mo notice ang parcelforce nimo, or you have to wait till manawag ang customs telling you about your package...

not sure where is the country of origin but if it's something important and expensive the sender should use FedEx or UPS or DHL.

that's true there's just nothing you can do about it if you'll wait (i hope not for nothing), except to go to customs personally - oh it's in Manila - MAS GRABE ANG CUSTOMS DIDTO!

we used to mail letters and cards using USPS (United States Postal Service) but sad to say our post office will not deliver the mails to our families it will stay with them. They will open the envelop thinking there are dollars inside.

the subject should be changed from Bureau of Customs to Bureau of Corruptions.

FYI....

“The Bureau of Customs is like the wild, wild West.”

These are the words that Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima once used to describe the government’s second largest revenue agency.

For decades, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) has been perceived as a netherworld of corruption with little or no respect for existing rules or laws. It has been seen by many as a world of syndicates which operate in a deeply entrenched system that knows only secret codes and unwritten rules.

Government officials privy to how the BOC works say that corruption is so entrenched it is no small matter to successfully reform it.

Labeled as one of the most corrupt government agencies in the Philippines, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) could hardly escape such tag. This has become the challenge of every head that mans BOC. The new commissioner Napoleon Morales admitted how such label affected his manner of operating the said bureau and in employing tactics and strategies to change its image.

For all we know na bsta ingon ani kay grabeh au ning mga customs mo corrupt.. if u have package to Send, or even to receive... everything will be SUBJECT FOR CUSTOMS CLEARANCE. Sometimes, u will have to pay the "FIRST AND LAST CLEARANCE" before they are goin to release the package. pait au ning BOC oi... ambot lang gyud.. grabeh gyud ni sila.... ga ot lang ni sila sa BIR... maryusep...
