How can I send a mail via Philippine post?

How do I send mail via post office in Indonesia?

• How do I send mail via post office? How much will it costs for sending regular mail? And when will the mail arrive at the destination?

• Answer:

  Befote you go, check at http://www.posindonesia.co.id for services available and the fee for the corresponding weight, as there may be some destinations where some services are not available. For example: There is no Pos Express (next day arrival) service from Madiun to Banda Aceh First, go to the postal counter (there are many counters for things that may not directly relate with postal services, e.g. bill payment). This assumes you're going to a large post office. If the post office is the small one, just proceed to the counter available. After that, tell that you want to send a package/letter. They'll ask you by what service, then you'll say the service they want. Assuming you want your recipient receive the package quickly, there are 3 services that you can choose, all of which are traceable: 1. EMS. This is the fastest mail service for sending packages overseas. Packages are expected to arrive within 3 to 5 working days. Note that the fees will be in US Dollar, but converted to Indonesian Rupiah with the current exchange rate. 2. Pos Express. This is the fastest mail service for sending packages within Indonesia. Availability is more limited (only to several cities) and there is a limit on the time when you send the package before it is rejected for that day based on the mail truck departure. For example: As the mail truck bound for West Java will depart from Madiun at 12.00 pm, all packages directed to places in West Java and sent by Pos Express must be received by Madiun large post office by 11.00 am. 3. Pos Kilat Khusus. This is the second fastest mail service for sending packages within Indonesia, and unlike Pos Express, it is available nationwide. The expected arrival time will be about 3 to 5 days, like EMS. Besides, we can also send it anytime during the post office opening hours, since it is not as time-constrained as Pos Express. The fee is usually much cheaper than Pos Express as well. Mail service by using stamps is still available as well, for those who want to send things cheaply or in the old-school manner. If you need some insurance coverage for the package (the officer will usually ask how much are the goods worth to determine the insurance premium), tell them the value of the package. Otherwise, tell them that you don't want any insurance for that. This is not applicable for things whose shipping fee is paid by stamp. Finally, ask for the total fee, pay it, and receive a receipt for the shipping fee payment. For sending packages by stamp, though, there will be no receipt.
