Yes, I get about 4 months of mail sent to me from my physical address in CA in one shot to here and it’s about 10 days. I like that DHL provides online tracking. USPS doesn’t track anything once it leaves the US. DHL is available at most Pack’n'Mail, postal shops across the country. Meanwhile.. the balikbayan send-off points are usually at the Asian Food markets run by Filipinos. In Las Vegas there’s a big Filipino presence and they have lots of Balikbayan shipment points there.
Thanks for answering my questions about the mail service in this video. There are a couple important documents I need each year to receive as physical mail. Otherwise, I could do without it. It sounds like I could get by with the mail box in Tag if we’re living in Bohol? Is it still about 10 days delivery time from the west coast of U.S.?
