Can anyone tell me the best way to send money to the Philippines and also the best way to send packages. TY?

sending money- PNB WebRemit This is the current rate: http://www.pnbrcionline.com/docs/newrates.html sending package- USPS is all right. I don't think it will be the best one though. General Information What is WRS ? WRS is an acronym for the Web Remit Service. It is a remittance service provided by Philippine National Bank through PNBRCI that uses the Internet to serve its customers in the United States. It is a secure internet facility that allows customers to sign up online, send money from their U.S. Bank account to their beneficiary/ies in the Philippines and track status of their remittance in a safe, convenient and economical way. Who can use WRS? · US residents, at least 18 years old and able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law · With a postal mailing address in the United States and a valid and active e-mail address · Has a savings/checking deposit account with a U.S. financial institution Do I have to be a PNB account holder in the U.S. and or in the Philippines to use WRS? No. WRS is open to PNB account and non-account holders. Does my beneficiary need to have a bank account in the Philippines or with PNB? No. Your beneficiary may or may not have a bank account in the Philippines or with PNB. If your beneficiary is a PNB account holder, you may choose to send by crediting his/her PNB account. Otherwise, you can select several other options: · Door-to-Bank (Credit to your beneficiary's other bank account) · Door-to-Door Delivery · Advise and Pay Anywhere (remittance can be collected from any PNB branch) Is there an advantage if my beneficiary is an account holder of PNB? Yes. Remittances will be faster to complete and easier to track, if beneficiary is an account holder of PNB. Also, for beneficiaries with PNB USD account, they can receive remittances in USD.

There is no best, fastest and cheapest as these things don't go together. The best is never cheap. The cheapest may not be safe, like asking a friend to deliver your money. Everyone above has given a suggestion which are all good. It will depend on your location and the recipient. If you are California based, I am sure there are a lot of door-to-door services there. Ask friends who really do this regularly.

i'm in san diego california, when i send money to the philippines, i use washington mutual, i have an account with them and i can send money to any bank account in the philippines for free. as for packages, i use Alas, it takes 4-5 weeks before it reaches the philippines but it only costs $35 for the regular-sized box.

From which country are you trying to tranfer money and send package from. In the middleast one can send door to door, bank to bank transfer (in both cases the money reaches in 48 to 72 hours) form many valid money exchange centers. And door to door cargo both by sea and airfreight. Airfreights takes few days while the seafreights delivery takes a little more than a month for manila and additional week to the province. The money transfer charges is around USD05.00 Seafreight Starting from USD70.00 for a medium box irrespective of weight

Packages: www.forexworld.com a service that delivers boxes door to door after a couple of months journey by ship at reasonable rates based on size (volume) and not on weight. There are only a few limitations on what can be sent (you will fill out a shipping list). Rarely if ever are their problems with customs. That website of theirs only shows locations in a few American states but Forexworld has agents scattered in other places. Ask Filipino people who live nearby wherever it is where you are staying for a name and phone number of someone who will pick up your box (they will give you standard sized boxes to use). Small packages, not boxes, I don't know what's the best. Just avoid the regular postal service which isn't reliable for much of anything apart from postcards.

http://www.manilaforwarder.com/ for sending packages. Small or Big package. air or surface. up to you.. Try and ask them if and how much, they charge for sending money. They are reliable. Western Union's fee is high. If you find a Filipino shop selling Filipino goods like where Filipino seamen go, they charge less for sending money. I do not know where you are but I know of one in Ft Lauderdale, Juneau. Ports where cruise ships with plenty of Filipino crew dock for the day.

Money Western Union. Packages far and few between. Very expensive. Usually shipping cost more than the value of the product.
