Honestly speaking,our Post in PI is such a pain in ***! they charge packages when you are about to claim,they dont deliver it at your doorstep,they give you only notice that a there is a package for you...and also it takes ages to come...i would suggest to use other courier /freight i know its a bit more to pay but sure it get there at your doorstep.

i totally agree with you. take ages before i receive parcels, letters, cards my husband sends and u have to pay certain pesos before u can get it at there office not door to door plus not totally sealed opposite way (from phil to uk) takes days or a week only. Phil post is so slow if its important docs like eljean said better use other courier so ur gf can get it quick, safe and sound

I dont know how much it cost you to send those items but I sent Chryss some very important documents for her visa and used DHL. It cost me £47 and they were picked up from me on the monday and she had them on the thursday. I would never send anything using Parcel Farce and none of the letters I mailed her ever got there.
If you can afford it and theres important items use DHL. Also we could track the item online after just a few hours.

I have had things going AWOL on parcels sent to Pinas,and have sent birthday cards etc which were opened at that end Bad postal service with an equally bad rep

I once sent a dvd player to my vimvie in philippines..(it was me wooing her, haha!) we waited one month I think and it didn't arrive! Feeling miffed I sent her a second one right away... 'Cause I knew my Vimvie loved her movies and I so wanted her to have a dvd player...and....you know how this story is going to end don't you? Two weeks later she recieved 2 dvd players! I've actually sent loads of stuff to Philippines...it's nothing unusual for it to be late, but nothing I ever sent got stolen...

A country that has a bad reputation for having mail stolen, from what I gather, is Greece!

yes i agree i had experienced it before, the first time i received my husbands parcel they open it first see if all the items listed was there nothing valuable really just it has to arrive in my own hands not to others

So far i received all things he sending me will take ages though
