What people say online — with the asterisks included

Review websites are useful signals, not scientific surveys. Angry customers are more likely to post. Happy deliveries often disappear quietly into the kitchen. So this page reports the numbers and recurring themes — without pretending they represent every LBC customer.

Public opinion
01 · Trustpilot

The visible sentiment is strongly negative

Trustpilot displayed 1.2/5 from 639 reviews, with 93% shown as one-star when checked on 19 September 2026.

Trustpilot

Trustpilot itself says the company has not invited reviews and that the reviews may not be representative.

Public opinion
02 · Australia

The Australian sample is tiny — and poor

ProductReview.com.au displayed 1.1/5 from 14 reviews. That is too small and self-selected to describe all Australian LBC customers.

03 · Themes

Delay, pickup, tracking and communication recur

Across current review platforms, recurring complaints include late deliveries, missed pickups, unclear tracking information and difficulty obtaining useful support.

Review sample

This is a thematic summary of user-submitted opinions, not a finding that these problems occur on every shipment.

Satire
04 · Filipino customer-service poetry

“Na-follow up na po.”
“Na-escalate na po.”
“Nasa concerned team na po.”

Three sentences. Infinite emotional range.

This is a joke about a familiar customer-service pattern, not a quote attributed to a particular LBC employee.

Balance
05 · Positive voices exist

Not every public review is negative

Trustpilot also carries positive reviews, including customers describing fast or reliable delivery. They are a small minority in the current visible dataset.

Public record
06 · United States

A BBB profile shows unresolved complaints

The BBB profile for LBC Mabuhay USA Corporation displayed an F rating and 15 complaints over the previous three years, all shown as unanswered at the time checked.

BBB profile

This is one US entity/profile. It should not be generalised to every LBC operation worldwide.

Method
07 · What reviews cannot tell us

They do not give a denominator

Without knowing the total number of successful and unsuccessful shipments represented, review counts cannot produce a true failure rate.

Method
08 · What reviews can tell us

Repeated pain points are still worth listening to

Even a biased sample can identify recurring areas customers care about: visibility, reliability, communication and resolution when something goes wrong.

Thesis
09 · The useful question

Not “Are all the reviews fair?”

The more useful question is: what can a company learn when the same themes keep appearing in public?
