Online stores use colorum couriers

Buhay party-list Rep. Jose “Lito” Atienza has initiated a probe on the allegation that online stores in the country are using unlicensed courier services. Atienza said he would summon representatives from the top online stores to ask why their companies are using courier services like Ninja Express PH (NinjaVan) and J&T Express. He said the two were operating in the country without any license from the Department of Information and Technology.

Also to be sent summons are top online companies Lazada and Shopee. “We will call them when the investigation on my House resolution on this big time colorum courier services starts,” he said. Atienza had earlier filed House Resolution 481 urging the House of Representatives to look into freight and forwarding services operating in the country, which have no license and are therefore unregulated. NinjaVan, J&T Express and Entrego Philippines are some of big time couriers earlier identified as having no license to operate.
