    Sent a parcel of clothing items last week to Cebu, the parcel arrived in the Cebu sorting office and it has been sat there on hold since then:frust:

    Here is the latest tracking data

    When Joy calls DHL Cebu, they simply say it is waiting for customs... After 3 working days just sat there???

    That's really frustrating. I take it there are no national holidays involved? Just simply waiting for customs clearance?
    Does DHL have any influence or responsibility that you can leverage from here?

    I hope it will get cleared properly

    I noticed that as well when I'm in Tacloban. In the department store you would get two girls operating one till, someone else watching over them, then you have staff standing on every corner/aisle/display unit. Some of them don't seem to move for hours, just stand there. Then theres security, the purchase checker person, jeez, the wage bill must be big!

    Nope. they pay them peanuts. Which is how they can afford so many members of staff

    :frust: DHL have still not managed to release that parcel. Wouldn't mind so much if I had some electronics or something in there - taxable items. but clothes!!!!!

    Seems I might be getting Royal Mail service for an extra £30 to arrive in a yellow box:(
