I know if you sent a package such as boxes, it will more likely get opened, stolen, and lost. I was told by my friend who works at USPS local office based on her own experience, her church member's experience, and her customers complaining about this many many times. I was told UPS, Fedex is the same way. So last time I used a private Philippine owned carrier company who can deliver a box from door to door. HOWEVER...... If you are sending a letter, I was often told that it would more likely OK using a regular postal service. I am wondering if it would still be safe to send a Music CD in a medium size envelop with an air bubble and just use USPS / regular air mail to Philippines ???
