:Help1:

I would be very grateful if someone could give me advice on this matter,,I have been in the search function and unable to get answers there
I am about to start getting documents together to sponser visitors visa but I am worried they might end up in the wrong hands when I post them,,in particular my business account details , I am aware that certified documents will do ,but when i called my bank manager, he advise against sending
Can I send all the documents direct to the embassy ?? , I would feel better knowing they not travel so far from airport, is it possible to have insurance ??

Mant thanks

Hi Pat

I have sent mine a few times by courier and normal post with no problems. Courier about 5 days and normal post hmmn, couple of weeks plus sitting in local barangay office for a couple of days.

I would suggest using a courier and so long as you get the address details correct, there should be no problem at all. I used a courier on a couple of occasions and addressed the items to my wife's former Uni and the guards text her when it arrived.

Good luck!

Intercontinental is a thumbs up for me! Dusit and Shangri La as alternatives!

Hi, sorry to jump in on your query but could anyone advise the safest and most reliable company to use when sending a parcel to the Philippines. I have already sent a birthday card by Royal Mail and unfortunately it was not received.

I have used Fedex, ParcelForce and Elite! All arrived ok. Funnily enough Elite was the fastest! Exactly 5 days!
