As a third party (or non asset based) provider, LBC's first business procedures were to dispatch shipments via asset-based carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for those shipments. This was also the first time that LBC introduced a new method of delivery, the 24 hour or overnight delivery service Philippines.

The overnight delivery service Philippines made LBC more popular for Filipinos, especially with business establishments. Soon after, LBC decided on expanding their branches not only throughout the Philippines, but of foreign lands. The first LBC branch outside the country was established in San Francisco, California in 1985. Presently, LBC has over 60 branches in the United States and Canada.

To further provide service to Filipinos not only locally, but globally, LBC also chose to expand by founding several branches in neighboring Asian countries such as in Hong Kong, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan in whereas a high number of Filipino migrant workers have also settled in neighboring Asian countries.

Currently, LBC Express is known as one of the biggest courier companies in the Philippines. LBC soon became a respected leader
