Is there an efficient and cheaper way to send electronics to the Philippines?

My fiance is wanting to send me a laptop here in the PH but when he tried, he learned that shipping it would cost him almost 419 USD (22,936.27 PHP) due to tariff and istg para akong hinimatay when he told me that. I don't know much about shipping and such but I'm hoping someone here can suggest a much cheaper way of him being able to send it to me because it's supposed to be my birthday gift and I don't want to drain his wallet just so he could send me a single item :/ I believe it was USPS that he went to.
