LBC international courier services.

FindlayMacD

Has anyone on here successfully managed to send a letter or package internationally with LBC. I have visited their office here in Languindingan twice in the last two days in an effort to send some important documents to the UK. On my first visit yesterday my efforts were in vain because they required both an email address and a phone number for the receiver, so I gave up and went home.


My second visit, today, I almost gave up with the address part because the name of the firm of solicitors I was sending to had the abbreviation LLC after there name and the guy in the office said that whatever that abbreviation meant, I had to write it in full in brackets after the name. So I decided that because the full address and post/zip code was correct I would simply dispense with LLC abbreviation  after the company name.


So the guy proceeded to input the details into their system until it came to the post/zip code which he told me did not exist on their system. The postcode I was sending to began with CV1 and the abbreviation CV stands for Coventry in the West Midlands in the UK and the number 1 is the central district, but when he typed in "CV" he had a drop down box choice that started with CV11. I then asked him to try CV01 which he did with the same result, so I had to give up and I now have a 3 hour round trip to Cagayan De Oro city to go to DHL after all that wasted effort. The reason I tried to use LBC is because I was told that when the letter or package reaches Manila, LBC hands it over to DHL anyway. Just thought I'd share my experience with you guys.

For internal packages:

SPX have been fine

Sicepat haave been good

Unfortunately for international courier you have to use the global operators in Indonesia.

DHL currently hold the monopoly of good service and performance.

Shame not more competition but Indonesia is not as major global hub of activity as Singapore.
