JRS Express Rates for Letters

Our office sends a lot of letters not only within Metro Manila but all throughout the Philippines. Our letters even reaches the remote areas in Luzon and Mindanao. The letters that we send is of great importance both to our office and our clients. That is why the letters that our office sends must reach our clients in the fastest time possible.

Our office patronizes LBC for sending its letters and package. One time, an officemate decided to send one of our letters through the JRS Express. My officemate was surprised when he discovered that JRS Express rates are much cheaper than the rates of LBC for delivery of letters. We are also surprised when our client sent a message the next day telling us that he already received the letter and documents that he required.

The relatively cheap JRS Express rates and the quick delivery of our letter made us the new loyal customer of JRS Express.
.

The JRS Express rates depend on the origin and the destination of the letter or document. Thus, the rate of sending letter from Luzon to Visayas is different from the rate of sending the same letter from Luzon to Mindanao.

Here are the JRS Express rates for letters:

Express Letter from Luzon or Metro Manila to Luzon: 90 Pesos.
Express Letter from Luzon or Metro Manila to Visayas: 95 Pesos.
Express Letter from Luzon or Metro Manila to Mindanao: 98 Pesos.
Express Letter from Visayas to Luzon: 95 Pesos.
Express Letter from Visayas to Visayas: 90 Pesos.
Express Letter from Visayas to Mindanao: 95 Pesos.
Express Letter from Mindanao to Luzon: 98 Pesos.
Express Letter from Mindanao to Visayas: 95 Pesos.
Express Letter from Mindanao to Mindanao: 90 Pesos.

Take note that the rates given here are for Express Letter only. Express Letter is the “next day” service for letters and documents. Also, the rates are only applicable for letters or documents that weigh 100 grams or less.

Read my blog post about an incident where LBC charged so much for a two pages of Cebu Pacific ticket print-out.

Expensive LBC Padala

My beloved was furious the other day when she sent the ticket print-out for her parents’ flight from Iloilo to Davao. She said that LBC (touted as Hari ng Padala) ripped her of money. She went to a LBC branch in Laguna to have the two pages of ticket print-out be sent to Iloilo. My beloved was forced to send the print-out through LBC Padala because Cebu Pacific doesn’t allow its passengers to board the airplane if they don’t have a print-out of their ticket.

The LBC Padala clerk gave her the regular price for sending documents to the Visayas. According to the LBC Padala website, the regular price for the regular sized documents is just 95 pesos. The price suddenly went up to 165 pesos when the LBC clerk saw that she is sending a Cebu Pacific ticket print-out.  The clerk insisted that the ticket print-out is “very” important document that’s why the price for an LBC Padala was increased. My beloved insisted that the ticket is just simple print-out.

LBC Padala Rate Calculator. It seems like the assessment of the LBC clerk
for the print-out is high.

I am a suki (regular customer) of LBC. I have been using LBC Padala whenever I am sending something to the provinces. I believe that 165 pesos price for a simple print-out is too much. This incident made me wonder if LBC Padala is the best and cheapest courier in the country today. I guess it is time to check the other courier companies like the JRS Express AND Air21.
