I agree, FedEx is at the top of my list, too.

Generally, it is about 2 to 3 business days (if they are delivering within Metro Manila) or longer (outside Metro Manila). Add another day if you're from the East Coast.

Eversince Fedex's hub was transferred to China, the 1 day delivery time frame is now 2 days. :(

But still Fedex is so much reliable and much cheaper than DHL and UPS.

Hi. I went to FedEx today ang sent out the package.

The lady wanted me to declare EACH document separately.

First I just put "documents", she said what kind?

She said write down each type of document, the lady next to me even had to reopen her packagae because she didnt declare the business card that was in her package.

She goes on and scares me that if I miss to declare a document that they would send the package back.

The total was a little over 100 USD, is that about right?

Did you guys have the same experience at FedEx?

This would suck if they will return my package.

That sounds like baloney.

We send packages overseas using FedEx all the time and not once have we ever been asked to itemize the contents of any envelopes containing documents.

Have you tried a different FedEx agent?

A package that is between 1 to 2 pounds is about US$ 100 or so...no worries. :)
