Topic: LBC and DHL does not send DVDs even if it's orig?

[akositonton]

I inquired to both DHL and LBC, both had similar answer regarding sending of DVDs even if they are original - they don't. And LBC said there's a fee pa raw to pay.

Something to do with the Piracy Law. Like, what if daw I will send those DVDs to somewhere to be copied?

Any thoughts on this?

I think they are crazy.  I don't think any law is violated by sending orig. DVD.

And pirates would be crazy too, if they send it to where they can be traced.

[RNIverson]

is this a new law? cause I've tried LBC a couple of times last year

bit of OT:

From my experience in LBC Tektike branch, their rates are higher & the personnel are unprofessional & rude.

I remember going to an Aboitiz (before they were known as 2Go) branch in Cubao and they told me that they don't accpet DVDs or CDs. I inquired in another branch and they didn't hassle me with the CDs and DVDs I wanted delivered. I think this is just plain bull$hit. Either they are abiding by an internal rule about delivering optical media or they just want to jack up their prices when DVDs or CDs are involved.

Yeah. Ang sabi nga po sa akin, how could they be sure that I'm NOT sending those dvds to some place to be copied.

And long story short, my word is not good enough daw. 

Maybe they didn't like my face.

go air21 na lang mga dude.....when I sold my collection, thats my carrier of choice, mura pa.

Just make sure to declare the value so you can pursue claims just in case.

I inquired dati sa LBC to ship a single DVD, at mas mahal sa kanila ng at least 150%. So I just shipped it thru Air21

Why discuss this thread then. AIR21! AIR21! AIR21! Wala pa namang palpak sila so far. as long as you guys will securely pack your items in bubble wrapping, and put it in boxes.

Just came from a meeting with 2Go (formerly Aboitiz Express) representatives. Regarding sending DVD's, CD's, optical media, 2Go allows sending of these "even pirated" at regular package rates as long as it is well packed and shouldn't be more the 5 pcs (considered personal effects). More than 5pcs will be subject for investigation by customs.

Usually it is up to the outlets discretion if they accept or not.
