Hello everyone. . I got some questions ^_^

What do u think is a better carrier to Philippines?

Also if someone have ideas of fees. I try to look it up on google but still didn't able to find what I'm looking for.

We're going to send some docs only. Pls share your experience using these two carriers and fee also. Thanks in advance :)

I sent mine through LBC, but it depends where you're sending it from. I live in California so we have a lot of LBC centers here.

DON'T send your documents through USPS even if it's expedited international mail, because once it arrives in the Philippines, it will become PhilPost's responsibility to deliver it to your fiancée. They will not deliver it to her, I had a bad experience with them when I sent a package to my fiancé. He never received a notice that the package has arrived and is ready for him to pick it up. They pretty much just wait to see if the recipient tries to pick up their package, but if no one picks it up, who knows where the packages go.


FedEx, I think, is a better choice, but a little expensive, it just depends on the weight of your documents you're sending her.

The best and when you have to have there still is FedEx. It will go FE to PI and then 2go takes over from there.

There is a rate quote website for FEDEX located here for shipments TO and FROM the USA. https://www.fedex.com/ratefinder/home%3Fcc%3Dph

#1. DHL ---> LBC

#2. FedEx ---> 2Go

#3. UPS ---> ???

Ranking is for NDA document envelope cost and time to deliver. Time of course will be less to a metro area than to an outlying province. I don't know who UPS partners with for in country delivery. They (UPS) have limited presence in the PI, probably due to the fiasco at Clark field when the government attempted to extort more money to maintain their Asian hub and UPS packed up and left.

I think JR Express is UPS carrier in PHilippines. My girl sent me a JR Express and it was delivered by them.
