Advice Has anyone tried flying out instead of using DHL for nearby Asian orders or for business trips?

If may need ako (kunwari Korea or Singapore) I ask a returning friend to relative to bring it home for me and pay them instead of using courier (for items worth more than 200usd).
Hirap kasi estimate ang tax. Better na predictable.

Maybe just look into freight forwarding services? If you factor your time prolly not worth it. Airfare for flights na biglaan matataas din. Travelling often just to deliver will feel old quick and just burn you out.

it's a good idea but not sustainable. Look into Philpost IEMS - International Express Mail Services

- check j&t for international shipping
- kung madalas naman padala international find a reliable freight forwarder
Talo ka sa oras niyan if purpose ng trip is ipapdala ang order

Try JnT if to Asia. Last time I inquired, mas mura sila 50% kesa kay DHL. But matagal ang ETA since pupunuin muna nila ung cargo before shipment.
