Delivery
Do you deliver medical and laboratory supplies to Cebu and the rest of the Visayas?
Last updated
HoliMed ships medical and laboratory supplies from Dumaguete City across Negros Island, Cebu, Siquijor, Bohol and the wider Visayas. Delivery within Dumaguete City is fastest; provincial and inter-island shipments move by courier and ferry freight, so lead time depends on destination and on whether items are temperature-sensitive.
Dumaguete sits on the Negros Oriental coast with regular ferry links to Cebu, Siquijor and Bohol, which makes it a workable dispatch point for the southern Visayas. Shipments leave by a combination of local delivery, courier and ferry freight depending on destination and size.
What changes the lead time
- Destination — city delivery, provincial Negros, or inter-island.
- Cold chain — reagents and biologicals requiring temperature control ship differently and more slowly.
- Order size — palletised institutional orders move as freight, not parcels.
- Weather — ferry schedules across the Visayas are disrupted during storm season.
- Regulated items — some products require documentation before they can be released.
Note
Confirm current lead times and coverage directly before planning around a delivery date. Ferry-dependent routes in the Visayas are genuinely weather-sensitive and no supplier can guarantee them absolutely.
