Personally I use DHL for courrier delivery.
I have used DHL many times and never once had the slightest issue.
It's not cheap but it's safe, secure and quick, and for me very convenient as it's just a 15 minutes away from my home

You may want to check with whoever you finally choose that they actually take a laptop as not everyone will accept computers.

If you thinking of sending a balikbayan box anytime soon, maybe just put in that.

C'mon moy, you should already know the risks of sending expensive items

Take a look here at interparcel.com for good idea on cost and service comparison.

DHL for me.

Even used them for sending a passport on one occasion.

Be wary of any delivery, handling, duty charges DHL might be sticking on when it gets there. SouthEastBoy has posted about this practice

[grahamw48]

They tried that on me once, so after taking the parcel off their hands I politely told them to off.

can someone tell me the best method to post my A4 size yahoo chat/email print-outs to the Phills please? what kind of packaging could i use.theres a lot of them. about an inch & a half to two inches think. also can royal mail/phills mail be trusted with them,coz once i post them theres no copies. thanks.

[grahamw48]

Why no copies ?

I wouldn't dare part with such important records without some sort of copies.

FED EX is faster and very reliable..will cost a bit but i can assure it will arrive in time and safely..without you worrying..the husband did the same a year ago when we are sorting my visa

Hiya Moy,
I used UPS for 5 times but I stopped as it was costly & another charge when the box arrives in Cebu. BUT husband, if it's important documents/ paper, still we use UPS.
With my group of friends, we have a Pinoy friend who does business for LBC & filipino channel gadget (birmingham & wolverhampton). If u can find some Pinoy community there they can help u. With this LBC pinoy, he charge £50 for the empty box to deliver. It's a big balikbayan box (big one). When it's ready, he will pick it up & pay for another £50. It arrives Cebu for 6weeks - 8 weeks. Mostly my friends are sending it to Mindanao w/c is about 2 months. I haven't tried it but we meet occassionally during pinoy bday parties. I want to try LBC through website http://www.lbcexpress.com/contents/U...uidelines.aspx before but my Pinay frenz said it's a bit expensive & takes quiet a long time. But hope u can find one that suits u.

If you've got time on your hands you could always loiter outside Catholic Churches, Hospitals and Care Homes Seriously I'd have thought the link in Post 24 above would be a good starting point - good luck

Hi

Has anybody tried TNT for sending parcels to Phils? Either visa application material or anything to loved ones. TNT are pretty big and have depots in Manila.

Thanks

[grahamw48]

I've used DHL (wife's passport) and UPS without any problems.

I'm sure someone will have other suggestions if you hang about.
