I'd say DHL or Fedex. You never know with PhilPost so sending it USPS is out.

Highland, NY? Is that the town right next to West Point? Try calling Johnny Air Cargo's office in Queens if they have a place/pinoy store outlets near you (Rockland/Westchester I know there are drop off points) where you can send it/have it picked up. Johnny tends to be cheaper and is how I get packages from my family in NY. I'm not sure how they get away with it, but I'm never assessed customs duties when receiving packages via JAC, while with Fedex/DHL I have depending on the contents and/or the Customs Inspector.

FedEx is good. It's fast and reliable. If you send it through USPS, once it gets to the Philippines, she might not receive it or will take about a month like what happened to us.

You're gonna pay a fortune to ship with any carrier IF you even get them to ship it. Food's not generally allowed. There are a bunch of different online shopping companies that will deliver it to their door very reasonably though. I've bought a variety of different things over the past year from a few different companies and have had great luck with them. Filgifts and Philregalo are both very good, sweets and things is another (they're board members here if I remember right?).

Your gonna pay and arm and leg to ship Chocolates to PI.

Just send money to PI and let her buy some chocolate.

Hershey is a premier chocolate made in Hershey Pennsylvania. Hershey Kisses, Hershey Bar. When I bought some Hershey in PI it was made in Japan.

Toblerone is a german or swiss made chocolate, for some reason Pinays think it's US Chocolate

Better yet just send her a Forrest Gump Video.........

Probably gonna be melted before it arrives.

Well, it is for her kid for his birthday. I like to send him personalized MM's. I do not know if they can get them there.

We want for him to give them as birthday souvenirs to kids.

Send him and her to the dentist instead and get all their dental work done over there before they come to USA. You can get cavaties filled for $4 per cavaty.

Dunno about the personalized option but they carry anything you might want to send. I've sent everything from flowers to a washing machine. Filgifts was the last I used and it's roses and sweets (not sweets and things). All that I mentioned are dependable and reasonable :thumbs:
