A guide for your post office items

Hi, if you've read my previous posting about getting a court clearance, then this post should be handy, too. 

Here's a checklist for you; if you ordered items through these online shops: 

1. Aliexpress.com
2. Amazon.com (in most cases, its vendors don't ship to the Philippines and you'll need another third party shipper)
3. Ebay.com
4. And other international shops. 

I am writing this just in case you feel your items are lost in space or if you get pieces of notification papers from PHILPOST. 

Note: If you ordered items through Lazada, ZALORA and other local shops, you'll have these delivered right to you. 

1. Go to the POST OFFICE if you get a paper from the PHILPOST. 

The lightweight items go directly to your address. 

Experience: My mom ordered a waterproof bluetooth speaker manufactured in Sweden and it arrived earlier than the promised 60 days delivery period. We got a notification paper but no mention of what items are to be claimed. 

2. Go to the PHILPOST location and bring with you Valid IDs and the piece of paper. 

Check this google map for more information. I will be making another blog post about the authorization documents needed, just in case.

This photo below shows the far-end view of the PHILPOST office near the Malacañang of the south (near the famous SRP). More or less, this office is boxed out in the Plaza Independencia (kamo nay bahala label on this dating spot). 

PS: Thank you google for another innovation for everybody. 

This photo below with some guidelines and flowcharts to guide everybody.

3. Go the far-end counter to line up. Make sure you already have a photocopy of your valid IDs at this phase.

Note: the in-charge will ask you to photocopy your ID so be a boy or girl scout. I have a photocopy below FYI. 

4. If it's your turn now, give the letter plus your photocopy of valid ID. You will be asked to write down your name in a series of logbooks and sheets of paper. 

Reminder: You will only photocopy ONCE regardless of the number of items to claim. Patience is a virtue and wait while the guy searches for the parcels. 

5. Pay the needed fees .

Duties: Php 112.00 ($2.50, £1.54)

Postal Stamp Fee: Php 56.00 ($1.24, £0.77)

Total fees: Php 168.00 ($3.73, £2.31) per item(depending on the weight of each item)

After paying these, you get these papers below. 

This is a simple guide to claiming your items. Feel free to share this post to people and don't forget to comment.
