Dont fall foul of Philippine Customs...they are a bunch of crooks.


I just a got a message from Gina today that the Sharp Video Camera Kit I sent her via Feex yesterday has arrived in Subic Bay. ...... and those crooks over at Philippine Customs want to charge her 8149.00 pesos tax to release the goods.

The joke of this is.....that it belongs to me and I have owned it for 2 years...the invoice clearly shows that the goods are transfer from me to my fiancee.

What a joke....well not actually.

There you go...its the Philippines..someone has to rip you off dont they.

You should have listed it as used camera parts. They'll rip you off for anything, but then again the goverment does it 'legally' over here.

Order something online over £18 from abroad, and pay around 27% customs duty.
