Country-specific thread is moved from the Current Events forum to the Philippines regional subforum.

This is why as stated earlier numerous times in the Philippines forum you DO NOT SHIP THROUGH THE USPS.

Better yet, NEVER use any service that involves PHILPOST.

Why do you say not to ship through USPS. If you steel from USPS then you go to jail. You steel in the Philippines you are awarded with a high five!

Once the package arrives in the Phil using USPS, it is no longer the responsibility of USPS and says so in the paperwork that you sign at USPS when shipping your package. Thievery is rampant in the Phil and until the government puts some TEETH into the law, it will only continue.

I say that knowing that the USPS is not the problem but the Phil Post it gets turned over to in Manila. That is where the problems arise from which are many. But for the life of me I do not know why people still use the USPS knowing that they turn it over to the corrupt and unreliable Phil Post. You might as well spend alittle extra and use DHL/Fedex.

i honestly dont think that someone from usps stole that BUT from post office, customs, public employees in the philippines, YES there is a higher chance they took the item

If you want to be more secure with the package that you will send, invest in spending more. #justsaying

I have used the USPS every-time I have shipped something, and guess I am lucky nothing has gone missing. If you use DHL, I am guessing like Fedex, the person receving the items must pay import fees or taxes? I believe this happened when I shipped a bunch of items using FEDEX and the fee she paid to get the box was worth more than the contents of the box.
