any feedback on Makati PO? especially the one near ayala avenue?

Makati PO Customs people charges TAX for DVD/CD orders containing more than 1 item.

If your order will go through Royal Ligistics, it will be delivered straight to your office without fees.  But if unfortunately it goes through makati p.o., you'll be charged around 800 pesos plus 30 pesos handling fee.  :)

Got my LOTR ROTK Collector's Gift set last Tuesday via the QC PO.
It was shipped last Dec 18th. It arrived in a gigantic box that they placed in a mail bag.
The mail bag charge is now P100.00. No taxes paid!

my ROTK EE was shipped dec 9 via standard shipping and i got the arrival notice last thursday.  picked it up friday afternoon at the QC PO and didn't have to pay a thing.  just wondering, though.  had an order from koreandvds that arrived just before christmas and i picked it up at the araneta center PO.  i used the same mailing address.  weren't both orders supposed to arrive in one PO only?

I think the package/box used for these items will look really BIG, which could attract the eyes of the crocs there in our local post office. If its sent out thru Royal Logistics, for sure its been "picked up"(worse case scenario) by the crocs either at the main post office or the postal branch where you usually pick your packages up.

Let me share with you and other members about my experience regarding with the crocs in Caloocan. Its really funny these crocs, how their eyes will suddenly light up from its usual dopey state at the mere utterance of the words "Amazon" or "Royal Logistics". One time last year near december, my package from amazon via royal logistics arrived at their desks at Nov 27, but I did not get it until dec 14, after I called them up several times. They did not even bother sending a postal notice and they demanded that they be gifted with something (money, of course and that's separate from the "hostage" fees applicable to the package). Imagine, I have to pay these dopey "crocs" extras just so they can operate in their most mindless and mediocre state (doing their job).     

So, Hemi, I really surmise with you. Godspeed, your package arrives soon in good condition.

keep it cool man! My last package from Amazon arrived at the PO the very last day of the estimate Amazon gave me based on the stamp on the box. Of course it took 3 more days for me to receive the PO notice after that....  ;D
