Courier Recommendation / Experience

tamarind26 · March 2012

Hi all.

Sa wakas napadala ko na docs ni hubby kanina for assessment. Ang aga ko sa Robinsons Manila. Here's my feedback:

First stop DHL, then Fedex, then LBC....
Ayaw tanggapin for all the same reason na POBox yung address. Naghahanap ng ibang address. E anong magagawa ko, yun lang ang nakalagay na address for AMSA. Nakakapanggigil kasi last November, I was able to send docs to a POBox address in UAE via DHL, ngayon ayaw na nila tanggapin. Did you have the same experience? Mas preferred ko pa naman sana either DHL or Fedex kasi mas mabilis and mas reliable. Their response left me no choice but to opt for Philpost.

Philpost
Good grief they are open on weekends. The lady in charge was very helpful. Paid Php944 for Express Services (yun daw pinakamabilis). Approximately 5 days yung SLA. Hay, dagdag sa nerbiyos to kung kelan matatanggap yung docs ko. Pray pray lang talaga na it will be delivered on time. Di muna ako magblog while di pa natatanggap yung result ng assessment.

Post away your courier experience and recommendation.

kunin mo yung tracking number then enter mo dito.

Okay din ang courier ng Philpost. EMS international Services may tracking number yun naka attach sa resibo kaya malalaman mo kung nailagay o natangap na sa PO box ng australia.

cheers

Wow, thanks @TotoyOZresident. The link you provided is very useful. I'm glad to see that the docs have been despatched.

Now waiting for amsa to acknowledge receipt.

Thanks again TotoyOZresident. God bless you.

Konti lang din pala yung difference in fees ng Philpost sa DHL, LBC at Fedex. Akala ko laki ng tipid kapag Philpost yung kinuha mo na courier.

Update on my docs, it's in Sydney na currently awaiting clearance for delivery.

Ganun din ang scenario when I sent my ACS requirements, PhilPost lang. Kasi naman, from all the professional-looking boxes and parcel folders ng DHL, FedEx, etc - parang ang jologs nung plastic na supot ng PhilPost. I even bought an illustration board to fit inside my plastic envelope para di malukot documents ko.

Ironically, mas nauna pa dumating sa OZ yung papers ko kesa sa papers ng wife ko through DHL

tamarind26 · March 2012

@RClem ilang days po kayo nag antay bago nakarating yung docs nyo sa ACS?

k_mavs · March 2012

@RClem Ok din po pala sa Philpost. At least may alternative na tayo sa mga usual couriers dito satin.

no worries, cheers.

@tamarind26 1-1.5 weeks lang so sulit na rin.
@k_mavs yup, ok din sa kanila pero honestly, di ko magamit yung tracking# online. I needed to call them personally. Not sure kung glitchy pa yung online tracking nila last Feb 2011. Since photocopy naman yung papadala and since no choice kaya napilitan akong sa kanila magpadala. Pero kung original documents lahat, baka mas bibilin ko yung may "Peace of mind" fee

Hi All!

I'm about to send my docs to VETASSESS this week. Philpost pa rin po ba ang tumatanggap lang ng POBox address? March pa kasi yung last entry dito.

Thank you so much!

I think there there is another address ng Vetassess na hindi PO Box.. check their website.. dun sa "contact us" page..
may nakapag-suggest na rin to use that address at natanggap naman nila..
search the other VETASSESS thread.. goodluck..

quelly · December 2012

yep sent through DHL using the mailing address..at ang bilis..dec 19 ko pinadala, dumating sa vetassess dec 21..un lang i haven't received any confirmation mail from vetassess since holiday na sila from dec 24 to jan 2.

Hi, magkano fee ng DHL to Australia?

michel_75 · August 2013

@Santi hello! nagdala ako ng docs ko sa Vetassess thru DHL from Manila noong July 31, 2013 P1,325 ang binayaran ko, sabi nila 2 to 3 days daw makakarating na don.

icebreaker1928 · August 2013

walang nagtry sa inyo ng UPS? sya ang pinakamura base dun sa nainquire ko dati...
nakapagtanong ako lahat at sila ang pinakamura kaya sa kanila ako nagpadala...
pwede rin na sila pickup mismo sa bahay nyo

Santi · August 2013

Sa dhl Php1600 binayaran ko, min of 1 kilo. Manila to Canberra

Naiinis ako sa Singpost! i downloaded the Singpost app to track my documents and to my surprise naging Failed Delivery sya sa Vetassess tapos I called and then sabi it was delivered na. So, anong point ng paglalagay ng failed delivery? kakainisssss. X(

Yeah, Singpost tracking is not accurate... Similar experience when we sent docs to CPA Australia!!

Relax lang, be thankful na dumating na docs mo!!

Thanks for this. I will submit my docs to Engineers Australia thru Fedex based on the positive feedback I've got from other thread. I hope & pray it will be fast and worry-free.

IslanderndCity · October 2013

Update:
Singapore to Engineers Australia (EA)

Sent Monday afternoon then received by EA Wednesday afternoon of the same week.

Satisfied FEDEX customer me... haha.

ShayShey · October 2013

Sa akin naman I sent my CDR to EA through DHL... my docs was picked up on Monday afternoon (Indonesia) then it was received on Thursday morning... same week din...

peterpan07 · October 2013

I sent my documents thru Singpost to Engineers Australia last May. And to my surprise when I checked the status "failed delivery". So I called their hotline then they said I have to call EA to tell them to pick-up my documents from the post office. As in what? Then my nareciv akong acknowledgement receipt mail from EA. Kaya naconfused ako bigla. So I emailed EA then told them the situation. They replied and confirmed that they have received. Haiz, c Singpost tracking nde accurate. May pakaba factor. Kaya next nagsend ako ng documents, I used Fedex nlng. Walang prob.
