How to Mail a letter TO the US?

Is it possible to send a letter to the US through PhilPost and it actually gets there? Is there a particular office that would do a better job with correct postage and sending it out? Heck I don't even know where to get an envelope here, only office I have been to is Valencia and I have never seen any supplies there.

While the letter is important (VA Saint Louis needs an original signature on a form, won't accept an email pdf even though secure messaging), it itself has no value so the only thing I lose if it disappears is time required to send again so I don't really want to plunk down a wad of cash to send via delivery company if I can avoid it.

 

Unfortunately I think PhilPost is your only real option, whilst not the US; I did send an A4 Envelope to Australia a few weeks back, PhilPost placed the Forms into an Envelope, then inside a plastic Satchel, I paid for it to arrive quicker which it did and amazingly it arrived in half the time it took for Australia Post to deliver the d*mn thing! They gave me a tracking Number which I could track all the way from Dumaguete to Manila, to Australia, to the recipient. For sending I have nothing bad to say about the service I received. It is receiving my Licence I am yet to report on so *fingers crossed* that experience will be as pleasant. Only stinger was the 1800+php Fee to send!

 

Thanks, was sounding great - until I got to the punch line at the end (p1,800+) was hoping not to pay that much just to send a stupid request form.

 

mail going to the US will always arrive at its destination in about 10 days in my excperience (p100). never a problem with philpost going OUT of the philippines. LBC will deliver documents in the US in about 5 days for P1400 or so. if there is not a LBC office in the US destination, it will be passed off and delivered by UPS.

 

Ok so PhilPost in Duma has envelopes and I should expect p100 postage (it is just one page). And ummm, for the new guys not me, yup the new guys that's a good story LOL, where is PhilPost Duma?

 

Back of Quezon Park on St Catalina Street head for the Bandstand and you will see it on the Road behind

 

For a 100 Pesos, send 2 to increase your odds of it getting there, depending on how much the delay will affect you. Send them on different days, too.

 

I used PhilPost twice to send to the UK; both times the item arrived and was tracked and signed for. As others have said, 1800 a time!

 

Philpost works but is slower (I think with the faster express service you also get a tracking number, but not with the cheapest option which easily can take four weeks to Europe) , LBC gets you a tracking number and is generally faster (and more expensive) but refuses to deliver to PO Boxes. I also always get an envelope at the national book store.
