Does LBC Open on Sunday for Mall Branches vs. Stores

LBC Express operates more than 1,500 retail branches and authorized partner counters across the Philippines. How a specific store handles Sunday operations comes down to its physical environment:

Mall-Based LBC Branches

If an LBC branch is located inside a major commercial shopping center—such as SM Supermalls, Robinsons Malls, Ayala Malls, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, or WalterMart—it generally remains open 7 days a week, including Sundays. If a parcel is already in transit, our LBC tracking guide shows how to follow it any day of the week.

Operating Hours: Typically 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM or 10:00 PM (matches mall hours).

Services Available: Parcel drop-offs, document shipping, COP collections, IPP remittances, and box purchases.

Supermarket & Department Store Counters

LBC branches operating inside major grocery chains—such as Puregold, Savemore, or SM Hypermarket—also remain active on Sundays.

Operating Hours: Typically 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM (varies by host store).

Services Available: Standard parcel drop-offs, document dispatches, and retail remittances.

Standalone & Streetfront Branches

LBC branches located along primary avenues, residential barangay roads, or commercial strip buildings operate strictly on a traditional workweek schedule.

Operating Hours: Open Monday through Saturday (usually 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM) and closed every Sunday.

LBC Branch Operating Hours

Branch Category	Location Examples	Sunday Status	Typical Sunday Hours
Major Mall Outlets	SM City, Robinsons Place, Ayala Center	OPEN	10:00 AM – 8:00 PM / 10:00 PM
Supermarket Outlets	Puregold, Savemore, WalterMart	OPEN	9:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Standalone Stores	Streetfronts, Commercial Strips	CLOSED	Closed
Gas Station Outlets	Select Shell / Petron Complexes	VARIES	9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (If active)

Door-to-Door Delivery Rules: Does LBC Deliver on Sundays?

While mall-based branches operate on Sundays, LBC doorstep delivery riders do not conduct standard home deliveries on Sundays.

Standard Residential Schedule

LBC’s doorstep logistics network operates from Monday to Saturday, between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

If your package is marked as “Arrived at Distribution Hub” on Saturday evening, it stays secured in the facility over Sunday and dispatches on Monday morning.

Rider Pick-Up Booking

Pickup slots booked via the LBC Express Mobile App or LBC Online are strictly reserved for Monday through Saturday.

To dispatch items on a Sunday, you must manually bring your parcels to an active mall-based branch.

Is LBC Open on Saturday?

Many LBC branches serve customers on Saturday, but hours differ by branch. Mall branches usually follow mall hours, while street branches may close earlier or keep shorter Saturday hours. Check the branch listing in the official LBC branch locator before you go.

Does LBC Deliver on Weekends?

LBC’s official delivery lead-time table counts days excluding Sundays and holidays. In practice, plan Sunday as a non-delivery day: a parcel booked late in the week will usually move again on Monday.

Route (from NCR)	Official lead time (excl. Sundays & holidays)
Within NCR	1 day
North / South Luzon	1-2 days
Visayas	3-5 days
Mindanao	4-6 days

Example: a Friday drop-off to Visayas at 3-5 days skips Sunday in the count, so expect it from the following Tuesday at the earliest.

LBC’s official delivery-day table excludes Sundays and holidays, so do not count on a Sunday doorstep delivery. Track your parcel for the latest status.

Many branches are, but hours vary per branch. Mall branches usually follow mall hours. Check the official LBC branch locator.

Saturday can count as a delivery day, but Sundays and holidays are excluded from LBC’s lead-time table. Call (02) 8858 5999 for a specific parcel.

Is LBC Open on Holidays?

It depends on the branch. LBC does not publish one holiday schedule for all of its branches: mall branches often follow the mall’s holiday hours, while many street branches close on major holidays. Check the branch in the official LBC branch locator or call it before you go.

Does LBC deliver on holidays?

Do not count on a holiday delivery. LBC’s official delivery-day table excludes Sundays and holidays, so a holiday pauses the count and your parcel usually moves again on the next working day. Allow extra time around long weekends, Holy Week and the Christmas season.

Is LBC Open Today?

To find out if an LBC branch is open today, search it in the official LBC branch locator and check its posted hours, then call the branch if today is a Sunday or a holiday. On weekends, mall branches are usually the safest choice because they tend to follow mall hours.

LBC Cash on Pick-Up (COP) & Remittances on Sunday

LBC Cash on Pick-Up (COP) allows buyers to pay cash at an LBC counter when collecting their items. Whether you can claim a COP package on a Sunday depends entirely on the location of your designated destination branch.

Requirements

If your shipment is addressed to an LBC Mall Branch (e.g., LBC SM North EDSA or LBC Robinsons Galleria), collect it on Sunday by presenting:

Your 12-digit Tracking Reference Code
The exact cash amount for the parcel
One valid government photo ID (matches receiver’s name)

The 5-Day COP Storage Rule

LBC holds COP packages at destination counters for a maximum of 5 calendar days before returning them to the seller.

Crucial Advice: Weekend days count toward the 5 days. If day 5 falls on Sunday at a closed street branch, claim it on Saturday to avoid RTS processing.

Sunday Money Remittances

To send or claim money via Instant Peso Padala (IPP) on a Sunday, visit any open mall branch. Receivers must present the 12-digit transaction code, exact sender details, and a valid photo ID.

How Sundays Affect Official LBC Shipping Transit Times

When calculating when your package will arrive, remember that LBC excludes Sundays and official national holidays from its standard transit time estimates.

Standard Estimated Transit Time (Lead Days)

Origin to Destination Path	Estimated Working Days	Impact of Sunday
Metro Manila to Metro Manila	1 Working Day	Shipped Friday ➔ Delivered Saturday. Shipped Saturday ➔ Delivered Monday.
Metro Manila to Provincial Luzon	1 to 2 Working Days	Shipped Friday ➔ Delivered Saturday or Monday.
Metro Manila to Visayas	3 to 5 Working Days	Sunday is skipped in the 3–5 day count.
Metro Manila to Mindanao	4 to 6 Working Days	Sunday is skipped in the 4–6 day count.

Pro-Tip for Online Sellers: Always inform your buyers that orders dispatched on Saturday afternoon will not show transit updates on Sunday. Setting this expectation upfront prevents buyer anxiety and cuts down on order status inquiries.

How to Find an Open LBC Branch on Sunday

Before traveling to drop off or claim a package on Sunday, verify that your target branch is open using LBC’s online tools.

Open the LBC Branch Locator

Navigate to the official LBC Branch Locator via your mobile browser or launch the LBC Express Mobile App.

Enter Your City or Municipality

Type your current area (e.g., “Cebu City”, “Davao City”, or “Quezon City”) into the search field to generate a list of nearby branches.

Filter for Mall Locations

Scan the search results specifically for branch names containing shopping center titles (e.g., LBC SM Mall of Asia, LBC Ayala Center Cebu).

Tap on the specific store listing to review its Sunday opening and closing hours, full address, and available vault services before heading out.

Tips for Sunday LBC Transactions

To ensure a smooth Sunday visit to an LBC counter and avoid common delays, keep these practical logistics strategies in mind:

Expect Peak Mall Crowds

Mall-based LBC branches experience heavier foot traffic on Sunday afternoons. Visit early in the morning right when the mall opens (around 10:00 AM) to avoid long counter queues.

Best Window: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Prepare Government Identification

Whether picking up a COP parcel or claiming an Instant Peso Padala remittance, bring a valid photo ID (e.g., UMID, Driver’s License, Passport, PhilID, or Postal ID).

Name must match the waybill exactly

Double-Check Package Restrictions

If dropping off a Sunday shipment, make sure your items comply with air and land transport security guidelines (e.g., no unsealed liquids, flammable materials, or hazardous goods).

Pre-inspection required at desk

Leverage the LBC Mobile App

Fill out your waybill details digitally in the app before arriving at the store. Show the generated QR code to the counter associate for a paperless drop-off.

Skip handwritten form filing

FAQs

If a major national holiday (such as Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, or Good Friday) falls on a Sunday, even mall branches may close or operate on limited skeletal schedules. Check LBC’s official social media pages for holiday operating announcements.

While mall branches accept package drop-offs on Sundays, cargo trucks usually haul packages from mall counters to sorting hubs late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. Actual transit processing begins on Monday.

Mall branches experience heavy volume on weekends and can occasionally run out of specific pouch sizes. You can pack your item in your own sturdy cardboard box or plain container, provided it meets LBC’s sizing and sealing guidelines.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while LBC Express does operate on Sundays, where you go makes all the difference. Standalone neighborhood branches remain closed over the weekend, but mall-based outlets and supermarket counters offer full service during standard retail operating hours.

Keep in mind that doorstep rider deliveries pause on Sundays, and standard shipping transit calculations skip weekends.
