Purchasing a laptop online... ita-tax pa ba ng customs to?

:depressed: i am planning of buying a laptop online... question... ita tax pa ba ng customs to? :mecry:

I guess the answer is YES.

I bought my JBL speakers in the U.S. and had it shipped here in the Philippines. The courier asked me to pay customs tax duties as part of the bill before customs can release the merchandise to them, then delivered to me.

By the way, just out of curiosity, why do you want to buy laptops online? Is the model not available in the local stores here?

How much is the item and whats the percent?

[mark_mark]

they have a promo, its around $650 w/ free shipping...

hmm try Johnny Air

medyo matatagalan lang nga.

pero yung shipping cost mo's cheaper since baka free pa nga yun.

and good chance pa na lulusot ka sa customs.
that's what a lot of R1 dvd importers do.

o manakawan sa customs.

can't you have the laptop shipped to someone you know in the US then just have them ship it to you in the phil.? have them get rid of the box so that it won't appear as new.

oo mas maganda yon...
ipa-LBC mo or whichever filipino freight service.
tapos hintayin mo ng 1 month ang dating, kesa ipa international ship mo thru UPS or FedEX, tatagain ka sa tax niyan.

teka, anong site ba yan? reliable ba? kahit ba mura offer, baka pagdating sa iyo, sayang din yung perang pinambayad mo.

Johnny Air's been reliable naman eh.

that's the solution kung wala kang relative sa abroad.

but ofcourse the bette solution is thru a relative. and wait out 8 weeks for your shipment to arrive thru boat.

tatagain ka ng malaki pre, nangyari sa utol ko yan, not sure which carrier pero tinataga sya ng "Custom Duty fees" forgot ko na kung magkano, prang 5k yata para i release...

buti n *** my "kakilala" isang bro ko din dyan, lumabas na libre.

Best way talaga kung my friend/family kang uuwi or kung wala ipaki ship mo sa kanila via freight forwarders, pag magandang company less than 1 month andyan na sa door mo.

Malamang. Carrying it in... ...wala. Flying it in (through orders)... ...most likely.
