When a package absolutely must arrive tomorrow, not next week, express delivery becomes your business lifeline. This specialized shipping service transforms logistics from a waiting game into a powerful business advantage across the Philippine archipelago.
Express delivery in the Philippines means guaranteed delivery within 24-48 hours, significantly faster than standard 4-5 day shipping. This service prioritizes speed and reliability for time-sensitive packages across the archipelago's challenging geography of 7,640+ islands.
The Philippines' mountains, waterways, and varying infrastructure require specialized logistics networks combining air, land, and sea transportation. Traditional couriers typically deliver in 4-5 days for inter-island shipments, while express services cut this time by 50-75%.
"Express delivery in the Philippines isn't just about speed—it's about consistency in a challenging environment," notes logistics expert Antonio Reyes of the Philippine Supply Chain Management Association.
Flying Tigers Express delivers from Manila to Cebu in 12-24 hours, compared to 3-5 days with traditional couriers. This route utilizes dedicated cargo space on multiple daily flights, eliminating the common bottleneck of waiting for available aircraft capacity.
Packages reach Davao from Manila in 18-30 hours with Flying Tigers Express, versus 4-7 days with standard services. The route includes contingency planning for Davao's frequent afternoon thunderstorms, with morning flights prioritized during rainy season.
Flying Tigers connects Cebu to major Mindanao cities in 16-28 hours, bypassing the traditional 3-4 day transit time. This inter-island shipping route leverages direct flights that avoid Manila transfers, reducing handling points and transit time.
Flying Tigers Express serves all Metro Manila cities with same-day pickup and next-day delivery options. Coverage extends to Clark, Subic, Batangas, and Laguna economic zones with guaranteed express timeframes.
Express delivery is available throughout Cebu (including Mactan), Bacolod, Iloilo, Dumaguete, and Bohol. Secondary cities like Tacloban, Ormoc, and Tagbilaran receive next-day service with morning deliveries for business addresses.
Major hubs including Davao, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Zamboanga, Cotabato, and Butuan feature complete express coverage. Remote areas in Mindanao benefit from Flying Tigers' partnerships with local last-mile providers, ensuring delivery within the 48-hour express window.

Manila to Cebu express shipping costs ₱350-450 for packages under 3kg, compared to ₱250-350 with traditional couriers that take 3-5 days. The 30-40% premium delivers a 75% reduction in transit time, critical for time-sensitive documents and high-value small items.
