Shipping to Provinces in Phil

[Stangman 7]

I'm going to ship my documents for the interview, which weighs 5.4 lbs (two 1.5 inch binders filled...hehe) in the USPS Large Box 12"x12"x5.5"

Johnny air in Queens NY (http://www.johnnyair.com/?page=85) stated it is $8.50 per lb plus $3 fee, so I'm looking at $50.60 to ship and it will be 5-8 days via air cargo.

That sure does sound like a good rate, but curious if anyone knows of anything cheaper or if you have any feedback on their service? These are extremely important documents and I just need some kind of assurance things should go smoothly... Never used them before. Curious if they notify me & her also when it arrives in the providence pick-up location.

Thanks!

I cant Speak for Johnny Air Stangman, but here on the West Coast i will be using "LBC" Cargo. it will cost me 14.60 for 2 pounds plus I belive 2.50 for each addtional pound. I too have 5 pounds. so thats 22.10 total price to ship my Documents for our Interview and it takes 7-10 days to arrive in the province out from Cebu.

Was the recipient not charged?

No Not at all, Not a dime!

Maybe if it's just a plain document, no charge but if it's gift like clothes, toys, forget it. That's good to know.

Thats an even better price!

I just called the one in California and they wont allow me (from Texas) to ship it to them to send... bummer!

Yea that is a bummer.Dont just stop with California, although we have them all over the State. "LBC" is National, call their Number and ask for "LBC" close to you in Texas, even better ask the person for their website to check. I know another Vjer that did that, shipped it to them. anyway Good Luck Stangman!

Two quick thoughts.. I can't imagine that 5.4 lbs of documents would be needed, but a lot of people like to have volumes of paperwork just in case in evey case I have ever heard of it was never really examined. . Everyone I have talked to that has gone thru the process, said they looked at required docs (tax returns, Affidaviant of support etc) glanced at a few pictures and approved. A few pages of chat transcripts should be wholly suffcient and can be printed there to save charges. We just got done with the approval process and she is here. I think my Fedex package to Cebu was a little over 1lb and it took 3 days. Was about 60 dollars if I remember right.

As for USPS. I would not dream of sending anytingto the Philippines that needed to get here without fail thru USPS. Go ahead and pony up the few extra dollars for fedex. Something this important is well worth it.
