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.

This has been the age-old conundrum for those living in the Philippines, who have to deal with a slew of obstacles just to get their packages delivered from the IJS or Canada.

Backorders can be a bummer, especially if you need certain items urgently.

Before opting for our services, make sure to triple-check if the items can be cleared for delivery to the Philippines.
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.
Aside from the size of your shipment and transport fees, shipping charges may also cover taxes and tariffs under Philippine legislation. When using PinoyBoxDelivery for your orders with Canada-based businesses, here are the standard box sizes along with the corresponding shipping fee from Canada to the Philippines:
