Shipping internationally requires more than just putting items in a box and sending the package away. It involves proper handling, compliance, and coordination with trusted couriers. Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines (MBE PH) ensures that every shipment is processed securely, efficiently, and professionally, whether you visit the store or book online.

Here’s how the process works:

Option 1: In-Store Shipping Process

Step 1: Visit the MBE Philippines Store

Customers can bring their item directly to the MBE Philippines store, where trained staff assess the shipment and recommend the best preparation for international delivery.

Step 2: Inspection and Verification

For security and compliance, trained staff will open and inspect the package contents to ensure that it does not contain any prohibited or restricted items. This important step helps prevent customs issues and shipping delays.

Step 3: Professional Packing

Once cleared, the item is repacked using professional packing materials and techniques. Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines has the correct supplies and training to pack just about any item, especially fragile, valuable, or irregularly shaped ones, to ensure protection throughout transit.

Step 4: Courier Selection

Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines works with a network of trusted logistics partners such as LBC Express, FedEx, and UPS. Customers may choose their preferred courier, as applicable. Our staff can also recommend the best option based on your:

  • Destination
  • Type of item
  • Delivery urgency
  • Budget

Step 5: Shipping and Processing

Our trained staff handle the documentation, coordination, and processing to ensure that all requirements are completed before dispatch.

Step 6: Tracking and Delivery

Once shipped, customers can track their package through the courier’s system, providing full visibility until delivery is completed.

Option 2: Online Booking via Hitch

For added convenience, customers also have the option to book international shipments directly through the Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines website, powered by Hitch.

The platform allows customers to schedule package drop-offs at the MBE PH store with ease. Simply provide the required details to book your preferred time slot. Online booking is available 24/7 from any location, and payments can be made conveniently online or in-store during drop-off. Please be advised that Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines does not currently offer package pick-up services.

Hitch, a company under the CBPi Group, provides last-mile courier delivery services, making it easier for customers to initiate shipments from their home or office.

Depending on the shipment requirements, customers may still be guided on proper packaging and documentation to ensure compliance with international shipping standards.
