Where in Davao area are you talking about specifically? You can go with FedEx or DHL but DHL has more offices in the Davao Region than FedEx does. Damn, I didn't know that.

I agree it's cheap going from the Philippines to the USA but the other way around is NOT CHEAP at all. You are talking at least $80 for a envelope or small package weighing 5kg from LBC.

Ok it’s jus that I don’t even like the idea sending out a passport but I gotta send it

I have sent and received about 10 Fed Ex to Davao City over the years.

 

I somehow on one of my trips left my credit cards out of my wallet while preparing for my trip, and I had my Credit Cards sent via Fed Ex from Texas to Davao City, never had an issue yet.  

Just when you think you have TDS eradicate,  a new case shows up.

As @Chris Duffy said NEVER EVER EVER use regular mail to send things to the Philippines, this is because it is USPS until Manila then it gets handed to the blackhole of Philpost. I have had the best success with DHL sending and receiving things from the Davao Region to my house. If you live close to a LBC you can try to call them to see they can send it by air mail.

Yeah I found that out during my research a couple weeks ago.

I simply figured if 2GO delivers the visa packages to everywhere in the Philippines, that it could handle a lonely passport
