How should I address my parcel for delivery to the Philippines?
There are two ways of addressing your parcel to the Philippines. For most addresses, you’ll just need to write the province name (they work in a similar way to counties here in the UK) alongside the post code on the second-to-last line of the address, followed on the last line by the country name in block capitals; in this case, “THE PHILIPPINES”.
For a clear explanation on how to address a parcel to the Philippines, you can refer to the Universal Postal Union’s useful guide.
What items can I send?
Primarily, there are three items that are strictly prohibited in Filipino mail. These banned items are:
- Lithium batteries, and anything containing lithium batteries;
- Lottery materials (such as tickets, cheques, and large amounts of cash);
- Replicas of weapons like hand grenades and rifles.
Check with the Philippines’ Bureau of Customs for more information. You can check out our prohibited items list online for items that won’t be carried by our couriers.
