How to send self-addressed envelope from the US to the Philippines?

Question

hi,

i need to ask my previous employers in the Philippines to send me a printed copy of my employment certificate shere in the U.S....having said this, i know my previous employers wouldn't want to pay for stamps so i'll be sending each of them a self-addressed envelope....

problem is:

- i am in the U.S. and i would need Philippine stamps on the self-addressed envelopes that I would send my Philippine employers....

- i don't know if i can buy Philippine stamps online...

- can someone tell me how much Philippine stamps do i need to send a 1-2 letter page documents from the Philippines to the U.S?

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The methodology you mentioned works fine except for that it might take longer or may complicate things since there's no online Philippine stamps.. I do suggest sending your request letter to a friend or relative in the Philippines so they can personally take it to your employer and follow up as well.. Have the certificates sent out to your friend's/relative's address so that he could just send it to you either by regular mail or Fed-EX/UPS/DHL.. I do suggest also sending the letter of request from the US to the Philippines via the delivery companies I just mentioned because your mail might have the chance of getting loss in the mail system in addition to a minimum of 2 weeks before it reached the Philippines..

Answer 2

use International Reply Coupon. it's $2.10. people in philippines could exchange it for local postage. my mom does it all the time.

Answer 3

Do you have friends or relatives in the Philippines? you can probably try to coordinate with them to get the Employment Certificate from your previous company then send it to you in the States.

If not, try to coordinate with Fedex, DHL, or American Post and make arrangements with the document you need to be sent to you.

Most convenient perhaps would be the American Post (EMS). There are PhilPost anywhere here. http://www.ems.coop/site/Main.php?Oid=27...

Hope this helps.
