I asked this question earlier and everyone said why not send it via money transfer. Read my question closely please, I have PESOS. not dollars to send.. I want to mail it to my family in the philippines. If I had dollars to send obvoiusly I'd send it via transfer but because I have PESOS and not dollars to send I need to do it this way. Has anyone sent money via FEDEX or other like DHL and sent it safely without theft? If you haven't just don't reply. Thank you.

I actually work part time for FedEx Canada and as far as I know, you have to declare all your international shipments and its value. This holds true to any stations. Although, there is no instance that these packages are lost, all shipments are subject to Customs Clearances.
Two things here:
1. If you declare shipping Pesos or any other currency via other means other than via banks or other money transfer agents, you are in fact laundering money. Anti money laundering is a strict offence especially after 9/11.
2. If you misdeclare your shipment and was lost, the conditions of carriage especially on the limitations of liability apply.
Two things you can do:
A. Take a chance and pray that it wont be lost on its way. Take a chance that no offence will be laid out against you on money laundering.
B. Convert it to your local currency and send it the legal way.
If you ask me, I'll go for the second one for obvious reasons.
Mabuhay!

YOu can send it via Fedex but make sure you declare the full value. of course you will be charged for the corresponding amount that you're going to declare because insurance will be computed also. Try also LBC i think they accept Philippine peso.

I guess we'll have to answer your question again and hope it sinks in this time. IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO PHYSICALLY SEND CASH NOWADAYS. This is the 21st century and there are better alternative methods available out there now. Also,
there is no tangible advantage for your recipients to receive your money in pesos.
Unless you are, as some here have alluded, trying to "launder" cash internationally or trying to send collectable currency, THERE IS NO OTHER REASON to send cash through the mail or some delivery service. The risk of it being stolen is very high, besides the legal implications for you if the authorities discover your transaction, which could be very dire.
Think man!

Don't be so bloody arrogant, you're not allowed to send money via Fedex, DHL, TNT or any other internationally recognized fast delivery firm, so find a friend who's coming here, if you have any, or find another way on your own, and stop being such an asshole!!

Why not use a money transfer instead of sending cash? Thomas Exchange and other similar services will deliver a secure money transfer to the Phillipines and other countries. If you send actual currency to a foreign country (heck even in the same country) you are just asking for it to be stolen.

I haven't sent, but one of uncle had sent and when we recieved we could find only the letter but not money. To complain about missing cash the valuables included were not declared. So, if you cant send by money transfer send them by fedex or any post but declare the amount you are enclosing with your mail and take an insurance.
good luck

Why not just hold onto it for your next visit to the Philippines? You're going to need it if you don't get to a money changer or ATM as you leave the airport.

That's a risky business, the best way to send that money is if you know someone who is going to PI and you can hand it to them and give it to your family in PI. At Christmas there are a lot of travelling Pinoys back to PI so I thought this will help you and your family. Maligayang Pasko

If there is a Western Union Money Tranfer near you , you can send pesos by money transfer, don't ever use courier companies because it's illegal to send money that way.
