Straight From the Couriers, Nothing Added or Hidden
Philippines shipping rates depend on two things: the weight of your package and where it’s going. Our orders ship from Quezon City.
You can choose PHLPost or J&T Express at checkout. PHLPost has registered mail up to 2 kg and parcel for anything heavier.
Fair warning, these Philippine shipping fees are a rough guide only. Your real shipping fee is calculated automatically at checkout. I’ll show you how shipping rates are calculated so you can plan your order.
Why I Copy Courier Rates Number for Number
Where These Numbers Come From
All the courier shipping rates on this page come straight from the courier’s own website. I didn’t tweak a thing. Not even a rounding.
I’d rather be open about it. Or really, I want you to know exactly where each number came from.
The couriers set the prices, not us. I’m only showing you how shipping is worked out.
Up to 2 Kg? Registered Mail Is the PHLPost Route
Nationwide Shipping with PHLPost
Packages that weigh 2 kg or less go by registered mail with PHLPost. The domestic shipping rates climb with both weight and distance.
Within NCR it’s cheapest. A 250 g package costs ₱43.00. Send that same package to Mindanao and it’s ₱95.00.
Domestic Registered Mail Service: Quezon City (NCR) to:
| Weight (grams) | NCR | Luzon | Visayas | Mindanao |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 50 | ₱33.00 | ₱55.00 | ₱80.00 | ₱85.00 |
| 51 to 100 | ₱38.00 | ₱60.00 | ₱85.00 | ₱90.00 |
| 101 to 250 | ₱43.00 | ₱65.00 | ₱90.00 | ₱95.00 |
| 251 to 500 | ₱48.00 | ₱70.00 | ₱95.00 | ₱100.00 |
| 501 to 1000 | ₱58.00 | ₱80.00 | ₱105.00 | ₱110.00 |
| 1001 to 1500 | ₱73.00 | ₱95.00 | ₱120.00 | ₱125.00 |
| 1501 to 2000 | ₱88.00 | ₱110.00 | ₱135.00 | ₱140.00 |
Past 2 Kg, Your Order Becomes a Parcel with PHLPost
Bulk Orders & Heavier Boxes
PHLPost registered mail stops at 2 kg. Bulk orders blow past that fast. Then it’s parcel service, with a different set of courier shipping rates.
The parcel table runs from 2,001 g up to 5,000 g. In the last row a box headed to Luzon costs ₱400.00. Inside NCR it’s only ₱185.00.
Domestic Parcel Services: Quezon City (NCR) to:
| Weight (grams) | NCR | Luzon | Visayas | Mindanao |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2001 to 3000 | ₱145.00 | ₱155.00 | ₱165.00 | ₱170.00 |
| 3001 to 5000 | ₱185.00 | ₱400.00 | ₱450.00 | ₱500.00 |
That’s more than double. For anything heavier, check the courier shipping rates on PHLPost’s website.
Prefer J&T Express? Here’s What Each Zone Costs
Nationwide Shipping with J&T
J&T Express ships nationwide from Quezon City. Their domestic shipping rates use six weight brackets and five zones: NCR, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and Island. You choose between J&T and PHLPost at checkout.
A 600g package to Mindanao falls under 501 to 1000g. That’s ₱195.00. The same package inside NCR is ₱115.00.
J&T Express: Quezon City (NCR) to:
| Weight (grams) | NCR | Luzon | Visayas | Mindanao | Island |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 500 | ₱85.00 | ₱95.00 | ₱100.00 | ₱105.00 | ₱115.00 |
| 501 to 1000 | ₱115.00 | ₱165.00 | ₱180.00 | ₱195.00 | ₱205.00 |
| 1001 to 3000 | ₱155.00 | ₱190.00 | ₱200.00 | ₱220.00 | ₱230.00 |
| 3001 to 4000 | ₱200.00 | ₱280.00 | ₱300.00 | ₱330.00 | ₱340.00 |
| 4001 to 5000 | ₱220.00 | ₱320.00 | ₱370.00 | ₱370.00 | ₱380.00 |
| 5001 to 6000 | ₱255.00 | ₱375.00 | ₱435.00 | ₱435.00 | ₱445.00 |
Island is its own zone for far-flung areas. J&T decides which places count, so check their calculator for your address. The table stops at 6 kg, so ask J&T about heavier boxes.
Two Things Decide Your Philippines Shipping Rates
How Prices Get Worked Out
Weight first. Find your package in the first column and look across to where it’s going. That’s all there is to how shipping rates are calculated.
Say you’re sending 600 g to Visayas. That falls under 501 to 1000 g. The domestic shipping rates put it at ₱105.00 by registered mail and ₱180.00 with J&T.
Now a 2.5 kg box to Luzon. That’s ₱155.00 by PHLPost parcel or ₱190.00 with J&T. Local shipping fees can climb for bigger boxes, since couriers may charge by size and not only by weight.
PHLPost or J&T? The Cheaper One Depends on Your Box
Pros & Cons
Neither courier wins every time. PHLPost is cheaper for packages up to 3 kg. J&T is cheaper for 3 to 5 kg boxes going outside NCR.
Here’s the quick version. It only covers price, since that’s what this page is about.
| COURIER | PROS | CONS |
|---|---|---|
| PHLPost | Costs less than J&T for packages up to 3 kg in every zone | Heavy boxes outside NCR get pricey: 3 to 5 kg to Luzon is ₱400.00 |
| A 250 g package within NCR is ₱43.00 (₱85.00 with J&T) | Registered mail stops at 2 kg and the parcel table stops at 5 kg | |
| Finer weight brackets for light packages | May charge by box size on bigger parcels | |
| J&T Express | Costs less than PHLPost for 3 to 5 kg boxes outside NCR: 4 kg to Luzon is ₱280.00 vs ₱400.00 | Costs more for light packages: 600 g within NCR is ₱115.00 vs ₱58.00 with PHLPost |
| One table covers all five zones including Island | Island is the priciest zone at every weight | |
| Brackets go up to 6 kg | Fewer brackets for light packages: everything up to 500 g costs ₱85.00 within NCR |
You choose your courier at checkout. The final fee is calculated there, so go by that amount.
Couriers Can Change Their Rates Without Telling Us
When Prices Change
Philippines shipping rates can change any day. The couriers don’t have to warn us first. So by the time you read this page, a number or two might already be off.
That’s why double-checking is your job. Before you order, check PHLPost’s Postal Rates page or the J&T Express Shipping Rates Portal for the current rates.
Yes, it’s one more thing to do. I know. But it beats a surprise.
Think of These Numbers as a Rough Idea, Not a Price Tag
Estimates, Not Quotes
The tables are here so you’ve got a rough idea of how shipping rates are calculated. Nothing more. They’re an estimate.
For now, this page lists Philippines shipping rates for PHLPost and J&T Express. We’ll add more as we update this page.
