The paperwork said original... so i sent the originals via the mail. Fed-ex works great, but expect high prices. if you have some weeks to wait, You can send air mail. I did send other documents via US Mail (priority) and after a month or so they still didnt arrive ( when we were told maybe 10 days). Anyways Loida finally went to the mail post office, and they were just sitting on it waiting for someone to enquire. Even then she wasnt allowed to pick it up ( crazy but true), so she wound up letting the man know that if he expedites its delivery she would be sure to give some extra financials as a tip to the carrier. Amazingly, it arrived the next day..We didnt expect that fast a service and she wasnt at home so no one recieved any "gratuity" for doing their job... (strange but true story)

Bottom line... use a company where you have a tracking number...

Ed & Loida

Just a friendly tip, if you'll ever use USPS to send Priority Mail to add the recipient's cell # and they'll text them once it arrived at the local Post Office. Of course with valid ID and for at least 40php they'll give it to you. We never lost anything even it took us a week longer than said arrival :)
