Top 3 couriers to Nova Scotia from MNL based from MY EXPERIENCE:
1. UPS - guaranteed 3-4 days and they work during weekends. Doble nga lang ang bayad. Mga 3K up. My package is 1kg and I paid 3.5K pero sobrang sulit dahil I sent it on Friday morning at dumating ng Monday sa NS. Very rare sa Manila. There is 1 drop off center at Megamall. I personally recommend this if nagmamadali ka.
2. FedEx - 6-7 days. Walang weekends ata ito. Online tracking is ok. Dito ko lang nakita yung "Hold at facility" button sa tracking. Kaso feeling ko maraming nasasayang na oras sa mga sort facility nila. 1.5K damage. I sent an additional document using this. Hindi na ako masyado nagmamadali kaya ok lang. Madaming drop off center sa manila.
3. DHL - Please do not use this courier to NS if possible. At average, like fedex pero they use a 3rd party courier service to deliver to NS kapag dating ng file mo sa Canada. Delayed tracking update. Pero in the end, your file will reach NS. 6-7 days din minsan longer. I've read horrible reviews with DHL sa international thread. Alam ko, wala ring weekends ito. 1.5K lang. Ang gusto ko lang ditto ay tinatanggap nila yung package kahit walang contact number ng recipient. Yung iba maarte, like FedEx, LBC. Tumawag pa nga yung LBC sa head nila para I-confirm kung bawal ba talaga.
