#philpost

Unless its explicitly delivered through Fedex or DHL or literally any other courier service, any parcel delivered to the Philippines goes through this thing called Philpost

And unlike any other courier service

Philpost doesn’t do deliveries; you gotta conduct a ritual, scry which branch your parcel got sent to, go to that branch, prove You Are Who You Are, pay a fee, and MAYBE you’ll get your parcel, HARD maybe

How did I find this out you may ask? Well i’m waiting on some merch, and it’s been likeeeee 6 days since its estimated arrival time give or take? So i did some digging and uhhh yeah!

Hehe, no im not seething at my own country! What makes you say that?

Unboxing the Silicone Toe Pad I bought at AliExpress last July 2018.

These are also available at Lazada here: https://bit.ly/2Lu0uOt

I ordered these toe pads at RUIMIO BeautyTool Store in AliExpress. Toe pad price per pair: US $ 1.24 Shipping cost via China Post Registered Air Mail: US $ 3.16

I like wearing these toe pads. It is comfortable and it effectively cushions my feet.

My shopping experience with this store in AliExpress was a breeze.

I didn't encounter any problem with my order, and it was well-packaged. No item was damaged in transit from China to the Philippines.

My package arrived in the province in just 4 weeks.

I received regular tracking updates in my email.

I immediately went to the local post office to pick up this package a day after I received the email notification: "Shipment at local distribution center"

I paid only Php 112.00 as postal handling fee to the Philippine Postal Corporation upon picking up my package.

PHLPost explained that the postal handling fee is separate and not covered by the new customs and tariff law involving imported goods with de minimis value worth P10,000 and below which are exempted from Custom duties and taxes.

How to Get a Postal ID: Postal ID Requirements and Application Process

Manila, Philippinen – Aus Anlass des philippinischen Unabhängigkeitstages, am 12. Juni veröffentlichte die philippinische Post, Philpost einen Block mit 4 berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten des Landes.

Die Motive: Jose Rizal National Monument in Rizal Park, Manila; Barasoain Kirche in Malolos, Bulacan; Präsident Emilio Aguinaldo Schrein in Kawit, Cavite; und das Andres Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan…

Today, May 5, I decided to send my application forms to COL Financial via PhilPost at Naia Road, Parañaque. I thought it was also the perfect timing for me to inquire if my replacement UMID (formerly known as SSS ID) was already there.

After I paid the fee for sending my snail mail, I asked the clerk where can I inquire about incoming letters specifically from SSS. I was given the same instruction when I inquired abouth this almost a year ago.

Along the way to the 2nd floor, I asked several personnel where can I find the right person to whom I can ask my concern. Some of them were not wearing their tshirts because the air was so humid. Until I finally reached the correct office. There were several people inside the room, some of them were sleeping. Unlike other rooms I passed by in that building, it was the only air conditioned room.

I was asked by the one who was facing a computer seated nearest to the door how he can help. I told him about my inquiry. I handed my old UMID since I don’t have with me my claim slip. (Why do I have an old UMID? I’ll explain later.) He searched and luckily this envelop that contains my new UMID was there. He let me sign on a blue receiving paper and that ends our conversation.

Earlier, I said that I already have an existing UMID. So why did I requested for a replacement? The answer is I thought I already lost it. It was only few months after I requested when Mama found out that my Aunt who is residing beside our house in Bicol got it from the mailman few years ago.
