Shipping Methods from Australia to the Philippines

We offer a full range of international delivery solutions tailored for reliable shipment to the Philippines.

Air Freight (Express & Standard)

Air freight is ideal when urgency is key. Choose from:

• International Express to the Philippines: The fastest way to send urgent documents or parcels. Express international delivery to Metro Manila and other major cities can take as little as 3–7 business days.
• Standard Air Freight: A practical option for heavier or bulkier deliveries (30kg–7,000kg). Most parcels arrive in 7–12 business days.

Sea Freight

For larger or non-urgent deliveries to the Philippines, sea freight offers an affordable and practical logistics option:

• LCL (Less than Container Load): This method consolidates your shipment with other cargo in a shared container, which is ideal for lower volumes. It's more cost-effective but can involve extra time due to loading, consolidation, and customs clearance processes at the port.
• FCL (Full Container Load): A full container dedicated to your shipment alone. Best suited for high-volume or sensitive items that need controlled handling and faster turnaround at both ends.

Typical transit times from Australia to the Philippines range from 6–10 weeks, depending on your departure city, carrier schedules, and customs processing at the receiving port. LCL shipments may take additional time due to container unpacking. If you're unsure which sea freight option is most appropriate, our team at PACK & SEND can provide expert guidance based on your shipment’s size, value, and timeframe.
