LBC Express Shipping Guide

Written by Marc Adrian

Dubbed as the “Hari ng Padala” and with over 1,400 outlets around the Philippines, LBC is one of the country’s leading courier, cargo, logistics, and money remittance service firms. LBC was the first company in the country to offer express delivery and cargo shipping, as well as 24-hour door-to-door delivery.

Aside from shipping and logistics, the firm offers a variety of other services to both individuals and organizations. Throughout the years, LBC has adapted seamlessly to the evolving logistics landscape in the Philippines thus it remains one of the country’s prominent courier service providers.

How to ship your items via LBC?

If you prefer to drop off your item for delivery at an LBC location, you can make a reservation online to expedite the procedure. Filling out forms at the branch is no longer necessary with online booking.

Here’s how you can do that!

1. Fill out the signup form at lbconline.lbcexpress.com/signup to create an LBC Online account.
2. Log in to your account after signing up and use the LBC Online booking page to schedule a delivery. You’ll receive an LBC Online confirmation once your drop-off request is processed.
3. Pack the item you want to ship properly, don’t seal it yet because it will be inspected at the LBC branch. Put a label on it containing the booking reference number you get from the confirmation. 
4. Bring your parcel to the LBC Express branch near you within five business days from the time you booked your shipping request.
5. Drop off your parcel at the Express Lane in the LBC branch and provide the LBC staff with your booking reference number and the parcel.
6. Pay the required amount to complete the process. 

LBC Pick Up service

In case you don’t have the time to drop off your packages at an LBC branch, you can get it picked up by LBC instead. This is a good alternative to branch drop-off for online businesses and people who just don’t have the time to go to a branch.

LBC Pick Up is a service that allows you to ship products without having to visit an LBC branch in person. An LBC Express rider will arrive at your location the next business day after you order a pick-up online, pick up your delivery, and collect your payment. After that, the package will be delivered by LBC Express.

How to book an LBC Pick Up service?

1. Visit www.lbcexpress.com/online-booking to book an LBC Pick Up.
2. Choose the date and time of the pick-up.
3. On the booking form, fill in the relevant shipper and bank account information.
4. Complete the request by clicking the Submit button. A booking confirmation and an LBC Online tracking number will be sent to you.
5. When the rider arrives at your location, put the item into the provided receptacle and then seal it and attach the airway bill (AWB). Lastly, give your package and payment to the rider.
