Retail and eCommerce in the Philippines

The Philippines is a hugely diverse nation made up of a network of islands, its economy is built upon its manufacturing industry that is composed mainly of electronic component assembly, clothing and pharmaceuticals, which of course means that items are often sent here to help in the process whether it be spare parts or core materials. As Parcel Monkey's Global Shipping Marketplace can cater for people shipping from around the globe, we can help you ship from some of the biggest import sources that supply this country in South East Asia such as the US, China, Japan and Thailand.

The Philippines has one of the largest markets in South East Asia in terms of economy, whilst English is widely spoken and Western goods are extremely sought after. Trading with the Filipino consumers can, therefore, be easier than a lot of other destinations, plus they have a huge love of shopping.  Manila is home to the biggest shopping complex in Southeast Asia - the SM Megamall, however more and more Filipinos are starting to embrace eCommerce.

As one of the most active locations in the world with social media, eCommerce naturally follows once the infrastructure is in place to handle vast volumes of parcel traffic that comes with an eCommerce boom, and the Filipino market simply needs to look at the Chinese market and see how this has taken off. Currently, there is the need for more reliable courier services as in the Philippines there are not enough logistics or courier providers in the country to meet the increasing eCommerce volume, so if you book a reliable courier via our platform you can ensure this hurdle is overcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
