⚠️ Unique Challenges of Philippines Island Logistics
- ⊗Geographic Fragmentation: Philippines comprises 7000+ islands, inter-island transport requires ferries or planes, huge logistics cost and time differences.
- ⊗No Courier Coverage: Most of Mindanao, Palawan, Samar and other remote islands major couriers simply do not reach.
- ⊗Unstable Transit: Typhoons and sea conditions cause remote island packages to delay 1-2 weeks, constant bad reviews.
- ⊗High Rejection Rate: Remote area COD rejection rate 50% higher than Metro Manila, return costs unmanageable.
