I sent some jewlery to my wife in manila and it cost $77.00 via Fed
Ex (4X4 box) and then when it arrived I had to pay another $111.00
for duty ot some kind of bogas tax. the value way about $300.00 total
in merchandise. It made it but kind of expensive and if I did it over
I would shop around its always a chance I think when you use other
than U S companys.

Just my way
