Am supposed to be happy today. Got my HD-DVDs (from Amazon's Buy 2 Take 1), but it was tainted with something I really regret. Shame on me!
Have stopped buying from Amazon for quite some time (last purchase was Oct06) and as far as I remember, all my orders then were through Royal Logistics, delivered straight to the office and no tax. Today, however (yup, haven't reading this thread too), I received a notice from Makati CPO so I immediately went there to pick up my stuff. But, as somehow expected, I have to pay a considerable amount, Php 1,200++, as tax/duty for the DVDs. Cost of DVDs is about Php 2,700++. Haven't had enough strength, I immediately fell into their trap to just pay them a certain amount, without OR, in short grease money. As I was walking back to the office, I really felt bad, especially when I remember the custom guy boasting about his collections (unofficial) for the day, thanks to "us"
Well, as suggested by another, maybe I should consider other option, like JAC.
Well (again), enough of that.
Here's my package, my HD-DVDs came inside an envelope with interior bubble wrap. Is this how they package the DVDs now?
My last purchase (Oct2006) came in a very secured box.
Cheers!!!
