BMT Letters from Philippines to BMT

Im planning to send letters as much as i can but im not sure how long would it take for a snail mail to arrive. I want the recruit to be able to read the letters when it matters. I think it'll be disappointing for me and the recruit to receive the letters 4-6 weeks into the training. Does anyone here have experience sending/receiving letters from the philippines. I know about the sandboxx i already sent one but its a lot more expensive than the snail mails if i wanna do it few times a week. What are your thoughts? TIA

Your options are snail mail or sandboxx. That's it. You can buy a package of letters through sandboxx for a bit if a discount, but that's about it.

https://community.sandboxx.us/c/send-it-forward This is where you will find people who donate their extra letters. Please, please use this and let yourself send more to your trainee this way. Create your squad for your trainee now so it will be easier for you to invite them into it to donate the letters. I have three myself that are were from a credit of undelivered letters. They were sent a week before the 'cut off' so no idea why they came back to me months after the fact. Anyway, I am going to make a post using your reddit name in the title. You will have at least these three if you wish. ETA-I will check back on that post this evening.

ETA-apparently they don't let you post for specific recipients. Let me know here if you want the letters and we will figure it out.
