please mr. postman

quite a number of our invitations had to be mailed to different countries, which meant courier-hopping for me.

for mail to canada, fedex is pretty reliable and fuss-free.

but for germany, it costs more than the half kilo canada package. so i opted to use the registered mail of the phil. postal system - and pray that it'll get to the recepients before september.

for domestic mail, air21 charges P50 per invitation, but gets to the recepient the next day, plus you get to track where it is thru their online site.

i had to send one to basilan and at clarice's recommendation, i went to jrs express. after filling out the info needed on the plastic bag, the lady said that their office in basilan has closed. so off to the air21 counter i went - they charged me P250 extra because it is out of their coverage area (and it's probably a high-risk area too).
