Fast Courier to Philippines?

[Paul and Haidee 11]

What courier does everyone use to send documents to the Philippines the fastest way?

[Deputy Purple 1,294]

DHL, FedEx, UPS & USPS all offer service taking anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

With USPS the package will pass through the Philippine Postal System so there is more risk of loss/theft or just delay involved.

UPS & FedEx contract with local courier services (like 2Go) so they're a step up from the USPS/PhilPost route.

If you want the best (in my opinion) go with DHL, they actually have their own offices and employees in the Philippines so it will be in DHL's hands from end-to-end.

first class mail is the best bang for your buck....its usually only 10 days or so from michigan to davao...i would imagine fed ex would be the fastest, but you'll pay for it.........

good luck.

My wife started getting charged a 5000P customs fee when I sent immigration documents to Davao through the post office. I switched to Fedex which was cheaper considering the custom of the local post office turned into demanding a bribe to release them. They got there much faster to.

First class is not much of a bargain if the docs never arrive or get held hostage for bribe money -- you were lucky. I say DHL for the reasons already mentioned, but FedEx is great also.

UPS! sent mine 3 weeks ago and got there in 3 days, one day earlier than expected delivery date, but a little costly!

DHL or LBC speed pouch. $12.50 for 2pounds in less than a week to Manila.

Fed Ex is in the the Manila/Makita area I know for sure, as is UPS.

I use DHL and it's gets there within 3-4days

Problem with DHL is its NOT everywhere in the USA.

I send stuff to my fiancee Fed Ex and it arrived in 3 days, she recommended I use FedEx even.

Had success with DHL and FedEx. Both are expensive. FedEx from Caifornia to Manila cost me about $100 (for a large envelope of documents). DHL from Manila to me cost my fiancé around p3000.

I agree. I would not dream of sending anything important by Mail to the Philippines. For sure don't use it to send important docs. I used Fedex with good results. Most of the stuff.

You all just talked me out of using first class anymore, even though I've never had a problem in years..and lots of important AND expensive things...maybe it's because from hayseed town america to hayseed town philippines...cause god knows I am not that lucky........
