She used the services of Sansu International and RDR <b>Cargo </b>to send these boxes, but after a year of waiting, her relatives have yet to receive them.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Tess has sent a total of <b>9 boxes </b>through the <b>2 companies</b>, 6 for Sansu and 3 for RDR. Her relatives received <b>2 boxes </b>in <b>February</b>. The rest are still missing.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Tess tried contacting both companies but they were unreachable.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">‘I called the manager several times to follow up the delivery but her only response was that the shipments were already in Manila but can’t be released by the Bureau of Customs pending payment of the required customs duties and taxes,’ she recalled. ‘(She) even said she has to leave for Manila after Christmas to personally attend to the issues at hand.’ Tess said.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Tracking down these boxes won’t be easy. According to <b>GMA News Online</b>:</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">‘A written complaint, complete with documentary evidences, such as official receipts and cargo receipts, may be filed with the <b>Philippine Department of Trade and Industry-Philippine Shippers Bureau</b> by fax at (02) 751-3305 or email at dti_psb@yahoo.com. There is no guarantee the cost of boxes will be recovered or that the cargo company will be held liable. It is best to keep in mind the embassies’ constant reminder: Deal only with PSB-accredited freight forwarders.’</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Balikbayan boxes are symbolic of the hard work put in by Filipinos living and working abroad. These packages are meant to bring joy to their relatives and loved ones, which is why Tess and many of her fellow <b>OFWs </b>are disheartened.</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">“Many of our ‘kababayan’ who trusted these cargo forwarders felt cheated with what they did to our ‘padala’ to our loved ones,” Tess bemoaned. </div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br/><p> <br/></p><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="tube" frame height="315" id="player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rqjyaw-mTec?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></center><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">Source: <a href="http://www.viralvidyos.com/" target="_blank">TNP</a>, <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/video/overseas/11/15/16/higit-100-pinoy-na-nagpadala-ng-mga-balikbayan-box-nabiktima-ng-cargo-company" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ABS-CBN</a></span></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
