Shipping destinations in Philippines

You can ship to any where you want to within the Philippines, although you should be aware that those in the major cities such as Manila and Davao will get their parcels a bit faster generally than those in more rural areas.  Because of the nature of the Philippines, them being islands, there are a slew of ports that take shipments in.  The island of Luzon has the most ports that receive shipping on it though but that is all relative. 

Tracking your shipping to Philippines

Sending anything to the Philippines typically involves it needing to travel quite a distance which is why it is a good idea to have a tracking number attached to whatever you decide to ship.  This way you can keep an eye on its progress and know where it is along its route.  You can also pay a little more and have a delivery confirmation sent to you once it is delivered.  These confirmations can be sent through the mail or electronically, depending on the carrier, so you should inquire with your shipping company as to what they offer.
