A few days ago, I decided to cheer my friend up by sending her some postcards and paper through…read moreLBC. I went to this branch as soon as the mall opened. In fact, I was the first customer there. Sending a small package costs Php80. I had to pay Php115 for mine. The lady told me that if I had let her fold the paper and the postcards, I could be paying Php80, but since I didn't want her to fold it, I ended up paying Php115. That was fine. Really appreciated the fact that she took time to explain why I was paying a higher fee than I expected. If you're sending a package out, don't forget to have the correct address and a phone number or mobile number of the person you're sending the package to. Also, when the LBC staff ask you to write your address and the recipient's address on the sticker form, make your handwriting big.

I am so, so lucky that my apartment is located within 5 minutes from LBC, and even nearer is 2Go…read morewhich is just 2 minutes away. I often use Xend for sending stuff I've sold online (since they have cheaper shipping fees for bigger packages, flat rates, and they pick up the package from your doorstep *cough cough* and I'm lazy *cough cough*). But for sending important documents and CD files to my clients, I send them through 2Go. 2Go is more reliable than Xend, and has cheaper rates than LBC, and I guess this is just a personal preference of mine but don't you just love that shade of magenta they use in their branding? It's so refreshing to the eye! Their next-day delivery is really helpful too when I'm in a rush to send important documents. Sometimes I do find it more practical and time-saving to send documents and other stuff via couriers as opposed to bringing them myself to my clients office. Also, it's worth noting that the staff in this 2Go branch are really nice. They're so nice that they even let my dog inside!

It was written in the status that it was out for delivery on 11/15 - failed. Sent an email to customer support and got a reply of assurance that my package will be delivered. Then 11/16 - failed again. So I called them up to ask what was the problem which they couldn't answer and told me to wait for it in the next few days. They asked for my address and contact number again just to make sure that it's right. 11/17 - another delivery attempt failed. I was home the whole day, even received packages from different couriers. 11/19 - another delivery attempt failed. I called them up again to ask for the status and told me to wait for the delivery (no exact date, they said they can't make promises. WTF!?) I don't think they were even trying. 11/22 came i check for status and accdg to their website they brought it back to the sender/warehouse. Talk about incompetence.

If you're still into sending hand written letters to your boyfriend or girlfriend, then this is one…read moreof the places in Makati you can drop that letter off at. If you're sending a postcard, the last time, it cost me Php20. It's more expensive by a few pesos, but at least you don't have to go to the post office and it's a lot cheaper than sending it by LBC. It just takes a bit longer to receive the postcard though. This little stall can also make photocopies of your documents. You don't also have to deal with the long lines 'cause few people come here. Sometimes, I'm in a rush and I'm too lazy to buy load in cards where I have to scratch of the protective covering to reveal some numbers. When I'm that lazy, I pass by this shop, tell them how much I need and the lady sends me the load.

Everybody knows what LBC does and how trustworthy they are when it comes to courier services, which…read moreis probably why they have a branch at every corner in the metro, and (at least) one in every province. That is also the reason why they are swarmed with loyal customers in each of their branches. I hate going for LBC errands because waiting for my turn takes so much time. But when nobody else is available and our deliveries (for business) need to arrive to a certain location the next day, I brave the queues and go to the LBC branch (we only trust the deliveries of our items to LBC) in SM Southmall, since it's the one closest to our house. As expected, the queues are usually long. But this branch is quite impressive because transactions are quick, or quicker than you would expect. The people on the counters were also polite and approachable. I had several inquiries regarding their services, and they willingly answered my questions.

I flew all the way from Phoenix to the Philippines with 130 lbs worth of luggage. By the time I…read morearrived in Manila after 21 hours of travel my back already had a personality of its own and would have killed me if it could. Of course, the things I brought home wasn't all mine. Most were "padala" from my mother's Filipino employees and they had asked me to send it over to the province for their families once I reached home. A particular item that I had to send was a tablet and it was to be shipped all the way to Davao. And of course, I chose LBC as the courier. LBC has always been reliable through the years. I've never had a bad experience here. Everything is done so efficiently that I never have to worry about my item never reaching its destination. The Alabang Town Center branch made the experience so easy for me that I actually threw away the receipt as soon as I left the place. (Yes, I was that trusting) Great branch, easy to find and no long lines. Kudos!

AKALA MO DAHIL SAGWA YUNG SAYAW EH SABAY INSECURITY ISSUE PALA KAPAL KO HAHAHA) Pero ako sa totoo lang feeling ko kahit gaano pa ka-amazing yung gamitin kong sabon, hindi ko pa rin maaappreciate yung paglalaba ever. Malaking bagay yung laundry services ngayon talaga para sa tulad kong tamad at mapagmaarte. Hahaha! Metropole Laundry & Dry Cleaners is the best laundry (so far) naming family! Ito yung services offered: Wash-Dry-Fold, Wash-Dry-Press, Comforter Cleaning, Household item Cleaning (curtains, seat covers, etc.) and yung Dry-Cleaning! Never pa silang na-late ng laba (may time na ahead of schedule pa namin nakuha yung mga damit) kaya good shot sila sa amin! Yoonnn, panalo! Allowed din yung customers na panuorin yung cleaning process para makita mo na hygienic yung procedures nila. Tip: Alamin mo yung Discount Programs nila para makatipid ka girl! (Special pricing for single customers every Wednesday or may free pa-laba ka when you reach yung certain number of visits at marami pang iba!) Yung pinaka-kabog sa lahat? Tinatry nilang makabisado yung name mo talaga. Pagbalik mo babatiin ka nila ng "Hi po Dyosa!" CHOZ SA DYOSA HAHAHA at sobrang bait at daling kausap ng staff sa branch dito. As in!

Our helper went back at around 3pm the next day to pick the clothes up, and still the clothes are not washed, still on the basket and asked our helper to go back at 6pm. Ofcourse our helper couldn't just go back anytime they wanted her to come back because she has other responsibilities but she was able to comeback the next day at 5:50pm(March 15). The staff was rude to her and asked her in a very rude way why didn't she came back yesterday at their time. I really don't care about the quality of their service but since she is just a house helper, your staff can be rude to her? I DO NOT recommend them, try other laundry services near the area.

I went to Philcoa and went inside one of the smaller copy shops there to ask around. They initially gave me a quotation of 80 Pesos each then eventually told me they couldn't do it. Since that was a bust, I went to Intermatrix in the same building. I was expecting them to charge more but I was pleasantly surprised that they were actually cheaper. They asked for 60 Pesos per page and they were able to do the job swiftly. I really want to support the little guy but the big chains are big for a reason. They got there by doing something good and sometimes, even better.

For my tarpauline printing needs, there's no one I trust more than DGP Signs along Dona Soledad in…read moreBetter Living Subdivision. I've been going to them for a good two years for all my events and they've given me a good quality output every time. I remain loyal to them because of my first experience with them. I was joining my first bazaar and I needed to do rush printing of my tarp with product pricing. I sent them the file but they were not very happy with the images and the layout so they really spent about an hour helping me fix it - and they did it for free! About an hour or so later, they printed my tarp and it was ready. They even sold me an x-stand so my 5-foot tarp would say secure in the background. They do work on a lot of other tarps, but I often get my stuff either within the day or early the next day. I also noticed that the print quality is really good and there's no weird smell. I've tried other large format printers before discovering them and I often have problems with the way the tarp smells for the first few hours. I've never had that problem with them. Plus, the people who work there are really nice. They will always be my main supplier for tarps.
