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 />
