    How long does it take post to arrive from the phillippines ?

    Hi.

    My girlfriend sent me a letter about two weeks ago from Cebu and I'm still waiting for it.

    Can anyone say if thats about normal for Filipino post. Or do I consider it lost now :(

    Thanks peeps.

    hi ,when my wife was sending me mail from manila before -used to take around 8 days -my relatives in cebu sent us something and we never got it -so i wouldnt be too worried yet unless it contained something valuable -perhaps she can contact the post office there to enquire

    it defends how she sent it to you, if she sent it as priority mail, maybe two weeks before you receive it. Before sending anything to my husband, I always asked to the teller how many days does my husband can receive my mail.

    Hi Cheekee.

    Are you expecting an important piece of document? When i asked for a copy of my authenticated birth certificate it took 3 days to be in the UK. My sister dropped-in on Friday afternoon through LBC Express then i got it on Monday morning delivered by DHL. May sister paid 2900 pesos.

    On the other hand, if your girlfriend sent you a normal letter through philpost (with stamp worth 40-85 pesos depends on its weight) you might luckily received this between 4-6 weeks. The easiest, fastest and best thing to do is use email or skype .

    Ciao.
