It seems like Bacong post office has a new postal guy,he started on oct 1st this yr and hes just starting to sort stuff out. If you want any post best go there tell him which barangay and you might find your post. Been waiting on a letter from the uk since early sept and still not here but found a neighbors letter dated april of this yr.
I gave up on them and opened a PO box at Dumaguete P.O. If you receive a larger package, they will put a notification in your box. Works fine so far (6 months)
Sounds like Valencia! 3 Days Seattle to Manila, Manila to Dumaguete 2 or 3 days, Dumaguete to Valencia 2 days, Valencia to my gate box (1 K.) 1 day to 4 WEEKS! ("IT's MORE FUN ON NEGROS!") THEY ARE; Over worked, under staffed and under paid. I believe the Phil Post people are doing a good job considering their work situation. Slow mail is just a price I must pay for living here. The express mail services can be just as slow. JRS Express 3 weeks from Cebu to Dumaguete. With EXPRESS in their name I expected something a little faster. My two centavos.
Just today. Letter from the U.S. SSI people in Manila. According to the POST MARK, on the standard size envelope took 2 months and 2 days to go from Manila to my house here in Valencia. In the letter the SSI people wanted my wife to respond within ten days by phone or fax. This will seriously delay her application for benefits. The cost of living here just got a boost.
LOL, just got a letter from the VA today and it was post marked 25 Oct in Dumaguete Post office... so it sat there for a month before it was delivered here in Pulantubig...
We live in Pulantubig. We have had a PO Box in the Dumaguete Post Office for 3 yrs and get a notice in the box for packages, large priority packages are about 45 days from the states, mail is quick except in November December when it can be two months. We have mail delivered to the box, never our place (10 min drive). Got a friend in the PO who texts us when we get a package, happy with PhilPost, except in december <grin>... LBC express from Cebu is 3 days, sometimes 2 (done it four times, like from Retirement Authority). That is to the house, not the box. FedEx, Air 21, DHL, we usually pick up at their office, no waste of time waiting for the delivery..
