Postal Letter

Any suggestions regarding sending important documents to Davao City Philippines?

I live in Canada, my wife currently lives in Davao City. I've just sent my Sponsership papers to Immigrations Canada which in turn they forward the documents to Manila Visa office. Out of the 10 letters/documents I have mailed to my wife this year, only 7 out of the 10 times have been received by my wife and of the ones she did receive most took over 8 weeks for her to receive. I have sent other things like boxes of chocolates which 5 months later she still has not received. Being a Filipino Canadian I know of the low life postal workers who have stolen items when they know it comes from North America. With all that said my concern now is that the Manila Visa office is sure to be sending my wife (who now uses her married last name)documents/ instructions regarding her immigration. Does anyone know a safe way to make sure that my wife will indeed receive these documents. Has anyone experienced a relative or friend in the Philippines not receiving important documents. Does anyone have any suggestions, It has taken us 6 months for my wife to complete her application, nbi, nso and medical documents and the worse thing is some stinking postal worker stealing my wifes documents from Manila Visa.

1. Use FedEx, for example. Even if they don't deliver to all small towns and villages, they can call her at the number you provide and can schedule a pick up.
2. For important documents use reliable couriers like Fedex or DHL.As much possible pay for an overnight delivery or a service where you can track online while it is in transit.Don't include any other stuff that will be needing for a bigger box.Try to know the contact number of the local offices of the courier and as much as possible arrange if it can be picked up by your wife.Check too if the address you provided is complete along with a contact number of your wife.
