post office charges for online orders
diesel:
i've ordered dvds from online international sources like amazon and cdwow. the post office used to charge me P30 (parcel fee ba tawag dun?). until recently they were trying to charge me 10% of the estimated value of the merchandise + delivery.
my order was US$63 (P3,500) and the post office was charging me at least P1,200 (33%) parcel fee + P30 pa. now if my math is correct, i should pay for P380 only.
does anybody know here the standard charges and computation? di ko alam kung kinukuwartahan lang ako ng post office. i tried checking the website of bureau of customs but i didn't find anything. wala din silang contact number so that i can check if tama yung patakaran dun.
help!
mods, if there's an existing thread paki-merge na lang.

where do you live diesel? and when did they start asking for that accursed parcel fee?

san juan. i've done it before, with the same lady on that desk. she used to charge me P30 lang. ang excuse nya this time, wala daw yung magko-compute kaya siya na lang. so dahil nga nagmamadali ako, sabi ko ok lang. she told me na 10% daw of the estimated cost of the package (P3,500) including delivery charge. ang tagal nya mag-compute for the 10% until she came up with a figure na P1,200 daw. gusto ko nga sabihin, ano ka hilo? 1,200 does not make 10% of P3,500. nakiusap na lang ako na i'd give her P400 na lang. pumayag naman. wala lang daw OR.

diesel,
i don't think that is the correct fee that should be collected from you. the fact that the lady agreed for P400 without a receipt means namemera lang sya. Wag mo patulan, takutin mo na isusumbong mo sya sa post master dyan o kaya ipa-Imbestigador mo.
