I remember when my Audio Note amp was shipped, it took only overnight (with tracking) for the shipping from originating country to PH. The tracking was by the hour via email or SMS. When it reached customs, it took almost 3-weeks...their reason/s include "random" checking, assessment by customs (which takes about 4-days)...etc...I felt helpless because customs was in Manila...I am in Davao...I burned the lines everyday to ask for updates...they were sending feelers that this can be settled "offline"....BUT I was firm with my decision not to give in to them...in the end, they still charged me almost P12,000 for taxes...
