Shipping from Canada to the Philippines

For decades now, overseas shipping has been a major obstacle for Filipinos seeking to buy goods offered only in places like North America. From hefty shipping fees to mishandled packages, there are lots of practical reasons why Filipinos tend to avoid ordering items from the United States and Canada altogether.

In turn, this leads to more Pinoy customers missing out on products that cannot be found or are in limited stock in Philippine stores. It is largely for this reason that PinoyBoxDelivery does what it does, which is essentially breaking the preconceived barriers between Filipino consumers and goods from the other side of the world.

If you're a solo entrepreneur who wants to share their hobbies and interests with fellow Pinoys through goods imported from Canada, or if you want to expand your growing reseller business to include Canadian imported goods, consider partnering with PinoyBoxDelivery when shipping from Canada to the Philippines.

Who Should Use PinoyBoxDelivery?

Anyone who wants to order items from Canada and has a valid Philippine address and contact number should not hesitate to try PinoyBoxDelivery's services. Some of our customers include:

Collectors or People Seeking Limited-Edition Items

Rare items or once-in-a-lifetime products are hard to come by, and no one is more aware of this fact than hardcore collectors. So if you're transacting with someone in Canada for items such as 1950s-era figurines, seasonal band merchandise, vintage cameras, or a bona fide movie poster, use the services of a reliable logistics platform like PinoyBoxDelivery.

People Seeking Customized Products

Overseas shipping doesn't always cover mass-manufactured goods. Sometimes, the kind of customized products you want can only be offered by a business or professional based in another country. If you find a Canadian business that provides customized drawings, bags, and the like, you're free to take advantage of PinoyBoxDelivery's logistics services.

Gift-Givers

Want to go the extra mile in your gift-giving? Why not fulfill the receiver's wishes and order overseas? PinoyBoxDelivery can make the process less burdensome, so you can better show your loved ones how much you appreciate them. Do remember to place orders ahead of time, though, as overseas shipping can take a while.

Buyers Seeking Out-of-Stock Items

Backorders can be a bummer, especially if you need certain items urgently. If there are no stores in the Philippines with an on-hand stock of the items you need, you can opt for stores based in countries like Canada that may have the item in question. This can be useful for students, who may need to buy essentials such as textbooks that are not available in the Philippines.

How Does International Shipping to the Philippines Work?

International shipping to the Philippines is primarily done either by air or sea. Ocean cargo is more common for overseas shipping, but air freight is widely considered to be the faster option.

Because the Philippines is an archipelago with over 7,000 islands, it's no surprise that the country's overseas logistics operations rely on its vast network of seaports spread throughout Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. There are also a lot more seaports than airports, with Philippine ports handling container volumes of over 6 million twenty-foot equivalent units (T EU) in the span of a decade.

Once the packages reach Philippine soil, they will need to pass through Philippines Customs to undergo clearance procedures. These packages will then be handed over to warehouses for sorting, after which they will be distributed to courier companies which will then deliver the goods to customers via their respective road networks.

What Are the Rates for Shipping from Canada to the Philippines?

Aside from the size of your shipment and transport fees, shipping charges may also cover taxes and tariffs under Philippine legislation.

  • Baby (18x18x15 inches): from PHP 3,279.00

The rates mentioned above correspond to Metro Manila deliveries. For those in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao provinces, you can check the rates here. If your package does not fit in the box sizes mentioned above, you can contact us to get a quotation for custom sizes.

Yes, an account is necessary for you to schedule deliveries and track your package.

You can pay via bank transfer, credit card, or over-the-counter (OTC) procedures with our partner payment centers.

There is no weight limit since we ship goods from Canada via ocean freight. However, it would be ideal if your box can be handled by a single person so that it’s properly taken care of.

We get ready to ship goods from Canada every week. This means that your package must be prepared by Friday to ensure its transit in the following week’s cargo. Shipping schedules might also change depending on a variety of factors, so take this into consideration before placing your order.

Deliveries from Canada to Metro Manila can take up to 8 weeks, while shipments to Luzon provinces can take up to 9 weeks. Deliveries to Visayas and Mindanao can take up to 10 weeks, with a few days’ extension depending on your location.

It’s perfectly fine to order fragile items from Canada, such as ceramic plates or vinyl. While we take most items out of the box to be placed in a more secure and travel-ready packaging, we usually leave fragile items inside the original box to ensure their utmost protection. Do remember that ordering fragile items always comes with a risk.

In such cases, you need to submit a claim to a PinoyBoxDelivery office nearest to the location where the package was accepted within 30 days. Please note that we have a cap for coverage and only cover the amount for lost boxes, not the actual value of the item/s inside.

Make sure to exercise caution when ordering items online, and always transact with trusted businesses and retailers. Be careful when entering your personal information and make sure that all data is as accurate as possible. And of course, don’t forget to make the most of PinoyBoxDelivery’s services to ensure a smooth and convenient shopping experience that transcends borders.
