What not to bring<br />
I have seen many people<br />
load a container in<br />
America and have their<br />
things shipped here. First,<br />
it is very expensive to ship<br />
and you will most likely<br />
have to pay a high fee to<br />
get your container out of<br />
customs. My advice is to<br />
sell what you have in<br />
America and buy it in the<br />
Philippines. With the<br />
exception of a few items<br />
(grits, in my case) you can<br />
get pretty much everything here in the Philippines. Sometimes it is better to pay<br />
a higher price here on electronics rather than bringing from your country. I<br />
learned a hard lesson on this 3 years ago. I shipped a sound system that we use<br />
in our feeding program from America and after two years of service, it finally<br />
died. I took it to the repair shop in Manila and there were no parts available for<br />
the brand I had. I ended up buying a new system here so if I ever had any<br />
trouble, the local repair shop could repair.<br />
JUST LEAVE IT<br />
