Kimstore is considered as one of the first and top online shop for gadgets in the Philippines. The online shop also offered cheaper gadgets for their customers.
But many Netizens were alarmed after Bureau of Customs seized millions of pesos of ‘smuggled’ gadgets in their building in Lakandula St. Tondo, Manila.
Kimstore is already running since 2006 and thousands of Filipinos are choosing to buy their gadgets because of a cheaper price compare to other gadget stores.
According to Customs Spokesperson Niel Anthony Estrella, they got an intelligence report that Kimstore is selling imported gadgets so they conducted a raid to look if they are selling smuggled things.
