How to receive a parcel in EMS Philpost

Here are the steps on how to receive a parcel in EMS Philpost:

  1. You will receive a notice card from EMS Philpost with an option of inspecting or pick up the delivery.
I think, either of it, you'll need to go to EMS PhilPost office.
Note: If you bought online, take note of the value. You will be needing to pay the BIR and VAT taxes.
  1. Go to EMS PhilPost office in Domestic road.
  1. Show to the guard the notice card and go to Customer Service Window. It will give  you number in queue.
Note: Make sure you brought something with you like a book or a newspaper since it will take several  hours to process your request depending on the volume of people getting their package.
  1. When your number is called, it will show you to a room with transparent windows to open in your presence the package delivered to you. You will then inspected how much is the value of the objects in the package.
  2. Then, they will call you for the computation of the taxes with formula. If you bought the package in a different currency, it will then be converted to USD currency and get its latest currency conversion in peso before the calculation of the taxes.
  3. Then, you will go to a center aisle to pay 50 php, which I think for the processing fee.
  1. Wait until your name will be called for releasing of the delivery package.

That's it your done.

If in case the package is not yet released on that day, you can come back anytime within 60 days of receiving the notice card because if not, it will be returned to the sender. Just a tip.
