Most important may be the smaller goods such as technical spare parts and technical goods. Similar to FedEx or UPS - we have an excellent and widespread logistics company for door-to-door service: LBC. LBC was used by the Swiss embassy to ship my passport back and forth across the country within less than a week and that means excellency in reliability and dependability in door-to-door delivery/pick up services else an embassy would chose any other of the international logistics companies. LBC is the most known and most reliable for all national logistics across all islands from sending documents and value parcels up to large parcels, spare parts and commercial supply!

LBC has branch offices in almost every smaller provincial city. Usually delivery next day except for remote island delivery it may take up to 3 days. From documents, passports or credit cards to business envelopes, value transportation and parcels of larger size all merchandise and goods are delivered fast and reliably.

LBC's door to door efficiency
a practical example

The efficiency of a logistics company such as LBC can best be understood from a real life example. A few weeks ago - July 2006 - I was on Boracay island and shipped a small parcel to a friend in Baguio city. I gave the parcel to the LBC counter just a few minutes before noon. The LBC-employee told me next day will be delivery in Baguio. I had some doubts, but nevertheless a day more or 2 would still be efficient, considering the location I am - a remote island - and the destination, a remote mountain city on another island.

Next day around 1300 PM the friend confirmed receipt of the LBC delivery to me by SMS.

Door to door from island to island within a single day - true door to door delivery next day.

LBC international shipments - from abroad home to the Philippine islands

LBC certainly is an excellent choice for sending goods from USA and other foreign countries back to your family members, relatives or friends in the Philippines. While it has no pick up service abroad - LBC has collecting points from where it collects shipments destined to go "home" to the Philippines. LBC often is cheaper for such deliveries and of course LBC has by far the widest national network for local door delivery in the Philippine islands. LBC of course offers the "Balik Bayan Box" shipments from abroad home to the Philippines.

International door-to-door logistics

For international logistics we have UPS, DHL and FedEx with FedEx being the only one among the international logistics companies in the Philippines having a nationwide excellent network. Hence whether you need bank documents or valuable software shipped or spare parts for a car or other appliances - FedEx is my personal choice in all situations of international shipments / logistics.

National logistics by bus lines in provincial operations

In addition to these nationwide or international logistics companies in the Philippines we have a large number of regular bus lines for provincial operation and all normal bus lines accept packages for transportation along their routes. Hence you deliver in the nearest bus terminal / dispatcher office and inform the recipient where to pick it up. Buses usually operate 24/7 on all their routes - hence this localized logistic system works 7 days a week and may even be among the fastest of all - but you have to bring the parcels to the bus terminal and have the delivery picked up at the destination.

Container, air freight, sea freight, drive in - drive out ferry boats in intern-island operations across the Philippine islands

Of course large cargo also can be transported - by large trucks, by container, by sea on drive-in ferry boats connecting to most larger islands among the 7100+ Philippine islands or by air freight with one of the several smaller airline operators.

Most passenger ferry boats have drive-in capability and allow you to transport your own vehicle, truck or pick-up on their routes at very reasonable rates.
