They sent me some documents via Fedex on 20 August, arrived in the Philippines on 26 August (scheduled delivery date), was held at customs for a day, then Fedex said would deliver by 6 pm on 27 August.  Now Fedex is saying delivery date is not scheduled at this time.  Glad I don't need the documents anytime soon.  

I have had bad luck with Fedex here. Delays, request for further information, need to pay more money etc. all after arrival in PH. Complaints to Fedex went unanswered. No problems with DHL except an occasional Covid delay.

I got my Fedex today, a week after it arrived in the Philippines.  Cost P578, called Filipino delivery service.

You had to pay p578 here, in addition to what was paid in the U.S?  It was just documents?

What did they say the p578 was for?  That is BS.  I was in the business for almost 30 years .

Philpost is a whole nuther animal.  Fedex document shipments are prepaid door to door.  Even if it is an outlying area, it is included in the price paid at origin.

Dutiable packages might incur duties and taxes at destination, but not documents.

Yeah but the day after you left they decided it was a good time to revamp the system so since you have not worked for sometime things changed. :whistling:
