Does anyone have a experience with national phillipines postal service. parcel as not arrived. im afraid i have to write it off

Welcome to Boards=)

Im afraid you probably will have to write it off If it hasnt arrived in 3 months then it probably wont at all- thats the time it takes to ship mail from that part of the world.
Your parcel probably contained enough value in it to keep the average Filipino family in food for a month. So then it becomes very tempting for someone to lift it, especially if there is no tracking number involved.

During the summer I sent 5 postcards from Peru- the stamps were €1 each. Needless to say €5 is a lot of money to the average Peruvian and consequently the postcards never arrived :mad:
