For EMS shipments, you can follow it up by calling the number below :
854-5257
Just be ready with your EMS tracking number. An EMS tracking number starts with an E followed by another letter and then 9 numbers then 2 letters representingthe country code of the post office where the package originated. Here are sample numbers below :
EB 416 466 989 US (from USA)
EE 415 102 829 TW (from Taiwan)
EI 348 505 615 JP (from Japan)
EE 702 830 557 HK (from Hong Kong)
EQ 000 181 665 AU (from Australia)
Packages from the US arrive in Manila in 4-7 calendar days (as long as the the 3rd or 4th day is not a holiday, saturday or sunday) depending on what state itcame from. Packages sent from the West Coast states of the USA like California arrives 1 or 2 days earlier compared to those sent from the East Coast like NYC.Packages from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia arrive much quicker, normally in 3-4 calendar days because these countries are nearer to the Philippines and/orhave more daily flights to the Philippines.
In my opinion, Postal Service Express Mail is the best shipping option when buying kicks from abroad. It is much cheaper than UPS, DHL, or FEDEX (unless theseller has a business account with these courier services and they have preferential rates. A seller once sent out a pair of shoes to me before via DHL and thecharge was only $35 and it arrived in 4 days) , it arrives in no more than 2 weeks and you can track it online. And the best thing is customs authorities arenot that stringent in checking packages and charging duties and taxes when sent thru the post office compared to the other bigger courier companies like DHL orFEDEX.
And for shipments from the U.S.A., the difference in shipping rate between Priority Mail and Express Mail is only $5-$7 per pair of shoes (express being moreexpensive) and so with all the other benefits of EXPRESS MAIL, it's the best shipping option.
Hope this helps.
