Best Couriers to Ship to the Philippines 

When choosing a courier for your shipping services in the Philippines, you must consider the speed of delivery, the cost of shipping, the package size, and the quality of the tracking system. The three popular shipping companies that are used to send packages from the USA to the Philippines include UPS, USPS, and FedEx. The benefits of each carrier will vary based on your shipment needs. 

Ship a Package With UPS 

UPS is one of the most reliable options for shipping to the Philippines. It provides both express and economy international shipping options, ideal for those who need to send packages urgently and those who want to save money. 

UPS has great shipment tracking, customs support, and reliable shipping. UPS is often used by businesses for urgent deliveries, high-value items, and expedited packages. Fast shipment times and excellent visibility of the shipment along the way are features of services like UPS Worldwide Saver and UPS Worldwide Expedited. 

Ship a Package With USPS 

USPS is still one of the cheapest options for shipping a lightweight item to the Philippines. It is generally used for personal shipments, gifts, documents, and small ecommerce orders. Services like Priority Mail International and Priority Mail Express International offer inexpensive international mail and tracking. 

USPS is a popular choice for those seeking cost-effective shipping services without compromising on reliability, especially when it comes to international delivery. 

Ship a Package With FedEx 

FedEx provides reliable and speedy delivery from the USA to the Philippines. It has an excellent international network with good transit time, shipment tracking, and customs clearance support. 

FedEx is an ideal option for businesses and individuals who need to send time-sensitive, valuable, or important documents. Depending on delivery needs and budgets, customers may choose either express or economy services. 

How Much Does It Cost to Ship to the Philippines? 

The shipping price to the Philippines varies based on the package weight, package size, destination, and so on, as well as the shipping company's service and speed.  Larger or heavier packages will cost more for transportation, whereas smaller packages will have lower transportation costs. The cost of economy shipping services begins at approximately $25-$30 for lightweight packages, whereas express shipping services may be more costly depending on the carrier and package details. 

Final shipping charges could also be affected by the Philippine remote island destinations. Shipixy can assist customers in saving money by offering access to discounted carrier rates and convenient courier comparisons. 

How Long Does It Take to Ship to the Philippines? 

The US to the Philippines shipment time can vary depending on the courier service, the shipping method, customs clearance, and the final destination in the Philippines. Generally, packages are delivered faster to major cities than to smaller islands like Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City, and Pasig. Express shipping is the fastest, usually arriving in 2-7 business days, which is ideal for urgent shipping and time-sensitive packages. Standard shipping services generally take 6-12 business days and offer a balance between delivery speed and cost. 

Customers looking for lower shipping costs often choose economy shipping, which usually takes between 10 and 21 business days. Air freight typically arrives in 2-5 business days for larger commercial shipments, and ocean freight will take about 3-6 weeks, depending on shipping route and port schedules. Customs clearance times, public holidays, the weather, and transport availability can also impact delivery times. 

Philippines Customs Regulations 

Every shipment that arrives in the Philippines will be subject to a set of customs laws set by the Bureau of Customs. Duties and taxes are charged based on the goods' value, the type of product, and its purpose. Before shipping a parcel to the Philippines, make sure you have provided accurate information about customs declarations, declared values, and commercial invoices. Any misinformation may lead to penalties and delays. Shipixy helps customers with customs assistance throughout the international shipping process to reduce customs-related issues. 

What Items Cannot Be Shipped to the Philippines?

The following are prohibited or restricted items to ship to the Philippines: 

  • Illegal drugs and narcotics
  • Gambling devices and lottery materials
  • Fake products
  • Offensive materials
  • Firearms and ammunition
  • Explosives and hazardous materials
  • Certain chemicals and controlled substances
  • Some plant and animal products
