Laptop shipping from USA to Philippines?
I want to buy a laptop online but my problem is that the said company only ships in the US territory. I have an uncle in USA (in Florida to be specific) and he will be the one to ship it here. So my question is, how much will it cost shipping a laptop from USA to Philippines??? Please give a serious answer! PLEASE DONT ANSWER ME WITH THINGS LIKE THIS: "JUST GO BUY IN THE PHILIPPINES" .. I NEED AN ANSWER NOT A SUGGESTION!

Answer 1 :
Many Filipinos send balikbayan boxes containing canned foods and other supplies to their families in the Philippines. If your uncle decides to send a laptop through this method it may cost $45 (P2025) or more to ship. However, when it reaches the Philippines there may be additional tariff taxes applied to your new laptop if found by customs. You will need to contact your local government on the current tariff tax rates, if any, for new laptops imported into the Philippines. Another concern may be the reliability in the delivery of your laptop. It may get stolen along the way. Your uncle may inquire on paying for delivery insurance in the event your laptop is stolen or damaged. Although not often convenient, one way to guarantee safe delivery of your laptop is by inquiring on any relatives or trusted friends that are leaving to visit the Philippines. They can bring your laptop as a carry-on luggage through the airlines and meet you at the airport upon arrival.
