My fiancé's birthday coming up

[EricC 0]

Hello. My fiancé's birthday is Oct 4 and I have a card all ready to send out to her. I never really sent mail to the Philippines before, and I was just wondering around when should I mail it, to get it the closest to her birthday. I am mailing from California if that makes any difference.

I've sent a LOT of mail to the Philippines and the cards more often than not don't make it.

Especially if they are a bit bulky.

Best to send a USPS Global Express small box. You can put a lot of chocolate and goodies in one. I never had one not make it. Only takes a few days depending where in PI your pinay is.

If you use regular mail send it now or use Global Express. I used Global and it took seven days.

Most mail will get there in about two weeks. Sometimes there are delays. Send it this week. Postage ranges from 90 cents- $1.07 depending on the shape of the envelope. If you use Global Express, it can be pricey.

Hi! Sending mail to Phils . is very erratic, like people mentioned sometimes the letters never make it, sometimes they get there in a week(from new york) One thing I have had success with is like air cargo/courier. THere is a company in ny called Johhny Air. I think they might have locations in CA and Nevada too. I had to send copies of stuff for my husband FAST (interview papers) they deliver to metro manila and provinces, usually u have to pick up the mail at the mall over there like robinsons or sm, however for $5.00 extra they will hand deliver to address(at least I know in metro manila)the package got there and was delivered overnight. the only thing u have to check is the pick updays in the US , here it is monday/wednesday/friday. so check it out, or maybe u can find similiar company that does this. good luck!very reasonable prices too, if ur sending card it will not be expensive. I paid less than $20 for a big package of papers about 2 inches thick.

lol, I never tried to send a card. I just always hopped over to the IslandRose website and sent Roses, and told them what to put on the card.

That way I didn't have to worry about postal, and could schedule when I wanted it delivered.

we've sent several letters & cards to each other regular mail.(for evidence later) they've made it as little a 7 days & as many as 21 days. i sent one that was lost for awhile that one took 48 days, & when she got it it had been opened.(don't put anything of value in it) but, based on our experience the average is about 15 days.

I have sent alot of letters and cards in the us mail and takes 7-14 days, and have very few lost, maybe 2 out of 30 or more.

My then fiance (now husband) tried to send me a b-day card thru USPS but never made it. Since then, we only relied on FedEx when it comes to sending things to me... a bit pricey but very efficient.
