Terible! I got my package today sent via priority mail USPS, declared amount was $105. Package contains a small purse and a perfume set and they asked me to pay P1,831.00! I told the guy who opened the box that i dont have that money, he said you can ask for a discount. So i spoke with the lady who computes the tax and told her that i dont have that amount and if i can get a discount.. She talked to the manager and told me to just talk to him, the manager asked me how much money i have so i said i only have P500, he said this na pabulong-- baka kase di nila tanggapin masyado mababa,how about P800.. I gave in.. I just told him sge kahit maglakad na lang ako .. Advice is pwede sila inegotiate.. Hope this helps One word to describe them.. Terible!
