To my knowing, when you send a certain electronic gadget to the Philippines, it is advisable to send it through a courier since the stuffs doesn't go through customs. But if you really want to save some bucks you can go through USPS and once its here in the Philippine customs, your sister has to deal with all those crocodiles. I went through customs and they would like me to pay Php 8,400 + for the tax of my engagement ring and others stuffs. I stand to my point that give me the computation why it arrived to like that kind of amount. I was with my aunt that time and she is so much aggressive than me so she talked to those people while me sobbing already, We were just expecting for at least a decent amount of tax, Rar! we we're wrong. we didn't give them the satisfaction to take advantage to us.

Advise, if you will send it through USPS, don't declare the actual amount of the phone,*it may sound ridiculous, but this is the only way to save money, but nothing's stopping us abide the law) they will base the tax from the original amount, well it's in $$$, so they will compute it in dollars too, once it's in PESO, D*#n, You'll gonna cry like me...

Either way, the recipient will be paying taxes based on the value of the stuff you sent.

My fiance sent me $200 worth of IT stuff. I had to pay PhP2400+ for the tax. It was sent thru fed-ex.

Balikbayan boxes are cheaper.

Balikbayan Boxes always works great for us but it can take up to 3 months to get to the outlying islands like Mindanao.

True . We cant have everything . Its one of the disadvantages. But we bear with it coz its cheaper.

I so hate this kind of people!!! I ended up not sending stuffs to the Philippines cause it either I lost it or pay higher tax with so much hassle.

Yup. it is unlocked. we have 3 iphones here, all unlocked. they were all locked when my husband got them and he made them unlocked.

My sister told me that I should unlocked it here first before I send the phone because it costs Php2000 to unlock the iphone in the Philippines
