Hi, I recently sent documents to the Phils by Fed Ex, from time of collection to delivery 5 days, also you may track your docs online.

LBC are most places too

[tone]

Just avoid DHL! I recently had a failed delivery because the DHL staff in Manila wanted a back hander saying the zero valued shipment was subject to import duty.

Fedex 5Days??? Isnt there any courier that sends much faster than 5days??? Like 2 to 3 days only...

[lykayu01]

Been also searching if there is interparcel in Belfast UK though im aware that DHL is no longer connected with interparcel...

[raynaputi]

When Keith sent his documents to me to Manila, he used DHL and it only took exactly 3 days to be delivered, with online tracking too.

TNT is also a major carrier - took 2 days, in our case. With online tracking. It was £49.0 for 3 kgs of paperwork, Posted in London, to Cavite.

Hehe. My employer uses a courier to get stuff all around the world and the courier told me that everything heading that way (Asia /Australasia etc) goes through a massive hub in Germany.......ours did also. Next stop Philippines, apparently.

.........everything heading that way (Asia /Australasia etc) goes through a massive hub in Germany.......ours did also. Next stop Philippines, apparently.

Everything I send by DHL seems to arrive via the Hong Kong hub

[lykayu01]

mine it went to germany then hongkong then manila...and now hopefully on their way here at home ;')

My wife uses the wrong ZIP code for her home address............. so our parcel initially went to a distant province (Maragondon) in Cavite instead of Dasmarinas :omg: They were out trying to deliver to Maragondon on the 2nd day. Fortunately I managed to put them straight and it took an extra day in the end. Worrying at the time.

.... unlike parcelforce complete rubbish ive lost every parcel ive sent with them.....

That's a Philpost problem not Parcelforce.

:Erm: errr..i'm wondering why you had to pay for customs? How much did they ask? I didn't pay anything when I got the documents before? does your parcel contain anything else other than the documents?

[lykayu01]

none its just all documents/papers... i dont know why DHL asked me to pay 548 pesos ...

From what I have read on the forum, sometimes people do get surcharged when receiving in Philippines. My wife didn't, however, she was lucky.

[lykayu01]

i strongly agree was it also delivered via DHL? though i really asked for a receipt Customs are no good here...:NoNo:

[raynaputi]

Waaahhhh...what a rip off!:doh I didn't pay any single cent when receiving documents..did you get a receipt of that?

[lykayu01]

yeah i did...i really asked for that receipt though he really prepared two copies one machine typed and other hand written ... really no good but maybe its just the DHL who has that surcharges...:NoNo::NoNo::NoNo::NoNo:

[juvyjones28]

I'm glad your parcel has arrived lyka :Jump: your still lucky coz you got it quickly even though you had to pay for custom tax, some people lost their documents on the way and never receive them esp when you use philpost :NoNo:

Now the next step .....visa application :D God bless :xxgrinning--00xx3:

They also have branches in Liverpool, Ramsbottom and Bradford. I noticed you are in Lancashire.

It was 49 quid for 3kgs paperwork in 2 days. No surcharge in our case.
