I vote for FEDEX. It took 5 days to arrive from Batangas to New Hampshire which charged me for P1,700 

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.

Flat pak large envelope. Passport is not that big so I must agree with you from US to PH costs more I can suppose.

I know from first hand experience that a flat pack envelope with Fedex/DHL/LBC to Davao using Express mail is at least $65 for an envelope from Los Angeles to Davao City.

From Tennessee? I know we spent less because we were sending it from Los Angeles and using LBC as well. Which if there is a LBC near you, they have airmail for small things and guaranteed delivery within 5 days.

Ya from Tennessee, but that was the price from Tucson also.   Would love to have access to LBC for the small stuff as they are cheaper, yet reliable.   We have LBC here for BB boxes.

Yeah that is one thing we miss about California is Chow King, Seafood City, and LBC. We did find a Filipino store who uses LBC in Greensboro and has a contact for Johnny Air in VA Beach.

Johnny Air is good as well.

 

Chow King is one of my wife's favorites .. have to eat there when in the Phils.    Jollibee .. not so much.

Yeah when we went to VA Beach last month my asawa was so excited to go to Jollibee then I guess that dissipated because she didn't want to go. I miss Chow King as well it was good food.

I heard Johnny Air was great for buying Amazon products in the USA and having them delivered to the Philippines.

I have a couple sites where you can have stuff drop shipped from Amazon or any online seller,  then forwarded to the Philippines.

To me the food taste very different from Philippines, Only Jollibee I have seen was in Las Vegas.

 

Me I think Jollibee/Chowking suxs,  but then again I am not a big fast food fan.  I hate McDonalds as well.

Why are you holding back on us????? Give us the names @Hank

[Chris Duffy 1,257]

You ever get a Fed Ex from Davao City and it has been opened by Homeland Security?  

 

I had that happen back before getting paperwork shipped to me, they leave a note saying it was opened and inspected

They have Jollibees in California. The ones we went to usually were in the Eaglerock Shopping center, which is a indoor shopping mall. It was cool because Chow King and Jollibee are literally right across the hall from each other, so I would go to Jollibee to get my kids food while my wife would go to Chow King to get our food then meet up at Chow King to eat there. My 11 year old daughter got addicted to Chow King's siopaos and she is white as day.

 

 

I am leaning less often to fast food due to trying to cut back on my eating . I got to get back to my lean mean macho poggi Marine self when my wife first met me.
