Same-day delivery is available for shipments dropped off before 10:00 AM. All NCR deliveries benefit from dense branch coverage and short transport distances.

Same-Day & Next-Day (RUSH) Delivery
LBC Express offers two express options for time-sensitive shipments:
- Same-Day Delivery — available within NCR only, drop off before 10:00 AM, delivery by end of business day
- LBC RUSH — next-day delivery from NCR to anywhere in Visayas and Mindanao, priority air transport, guaranteed 24-hour delivery
Both express services cost more than standard First-Class delivery. See LBC Express Rates for pricing. Express shipments receive priority sorting and dedicated routing through the LBC network.

See LBC International Tracking for country-specific delivery times.
Factors That Affect Delivery Speed
- Distance and geography — inter-island routes require sea or air transport
- Weather disruptions — typhoons, flooding, and storms delay inter-island shipments
- Peak season volume — Christmas (November–January), Valentine's, and Mother's Day
- Service type — RUSH and Priority are faster than First-Class and Media Delivery
- Drop-off time — packages dropped off after cut-off ship the next business day
- Customs processing — international packages add 1–5 days for Philippine customs
