Global business solutions provider Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) officially opens its pilot store in the Philippines on Friday, October 10, 2025. The store launch is a major milestone that ushers in a new era of business efficiency and convenience.
As the first of its kind in the country, MBE Philippines serves as a one-stop destination for the “et ceteras” of business – essential yet time-consuming tasks such as logistics, printing, and mail handling. Designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and small business owners, MBE Philippines simplifies everyday business operations through smart, efficient, and world-class service.
Handling the Etc: Going Beyond Logistics to Move Businesses Forward
The pilot store, located in Malate, Manila, represents a comprehensive ecosystem of business support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), digital nomads, and professionals in the Philippines. The flagship hub serves as a trusted one-stop center for logistical and communication needs.
“MBE exists to make business personal,” says Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines Chairman Norman Fulgencio. “As an all-in-one packaging and shipping solutions provider, we handle the etceteras in people’s lives. Whether that means shipping a package abroad, printing posters for a product launch, or running an online store, we handle it all.”
Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines provides a range of business services, including:
- Pack & Ship: Secure domestic and international shipping through leading courier partners.
- Private Mailbox Rental: Secure single address in Manila for personal and professional correspondence.
- E-commerce & Fulfillment: End-to-end logistics solutions for online sellers and small businesses.
- Marketing & Print: High-quality printing for marketing collateral to help brands stand out from their competitors.
Bringing Global Expertise to Filipino MSMEs
The newly opened Mail Boxes Etc. store in Manila adds to the Fortidia brand’s network of over 1,800 centers in more than 50 countries. Its opening comes at a time when business activity is on the upturn in a country where, based on a recent UNDP study, MSMEs account for 99.5% of businesses.
“Filipino entrepreneurs have immense potential. Our global-level logistics, marketing support, and other solutions help operate like a world-class business, regardless if you are a home-based seller or a growing SME,” shares Chermaine Fulgencio, Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines Vice President for Operations and Marketing.
Central to the operation of Mail Boxes Etc. Philippines is the guiding principle of #PeoplePossible — a belief that people and relationships are at the heart of great service.
The Manila store brings this same level of excellent, people-first service found across MBE’s global network to Filipinos, tailored to the local market.
The MBE Philippines pilot store, located on the Ground Floor of CBPI Building, 1953–55 M. Adriatico Street, Malate, Manila, serves as the blueprint and the foundation for its future expansion in the Philippines. More branches are planned to roll out in key cities nationwide, making MBE’s world-class services accessible to even more Filipinos.
