Courier.

My nephew called and said "Tito, they would accept LBC'd payment."  He was talking about a deposit to a resort that the Clan would be visiting on a weekend.

I said, "OK, just get the name and address of the person/resort and I will do it through LBC."  But getting the correct information is taking forever, and I am waiting and getting frustrated.

I am slowly discovering that a lot of Pinoys don't know the exact address where they live or do business. I told my nephew I cannot send money to a person who gives his address as plain Tali, Batangas or Pansol, Laguna. 

I had the same frustration last September.  I couriered a package and it came back to me and LBC said it remained unclaimed.  The package contained crucial item, and when left unclaimed, all the blue print collapsed. 

A courier delivers packages and/or information.  In the ancient times a courier could make or break a war.

When I called LBC last September to claim my unclaimed package, it took a while to re-possess it because the package was mailed in one location and I wanted to claim it in another LBC office.

Yesterday I received two of the Balikbayan boxes I shipped from Canada.  It was a re-delivery because the shipping company/warehouse/courier came last Sunday when nobody was home. I phoned  and inquired why they could not phone ahead; the home and mobile telephone(s) were written on the packing list, anyway.

If Cupid would get lost or mis-deliver, a lot of hearts would be in pain. 

A courier is no simple job.
