Shipping to Quezon City
Quezon City is the most populous city in Metro Manila, only about 10 km from the Manila destination warehouse where A1's rate ends. Vancouver is the cheapest and fastest gateway, at about 20 days to Manila, while Toronto and Montreal take about 30. Freight costs USD 4 per cubic foot, and the smallest shipment is USD 406.28.
Filipino-Canadian families sending household goods and gifts home, and returning workers, make up much of this traffic. Personal effects are accepted subject to carrier approval, with a signed packing list and a passport copy. Each package needs proper country-of-origin markings or labels, and the documents must carry full shipper and consignee details plus the house bill of lading number. There is no free time in the Philippines, so storage can start as soon as cargo lands: have the consignee ready to collect at the Manila CFS promptly. Pallets must be ISPM 15 heat-treated, and A1 neither picks up nor palletizes. Local delivery, duties and taxes are paid at destination.
How a shipment to Quezon City works
Quezon City is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Manila about 10 km (straight line) from Quezon City: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Manila. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Quezon City with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
