I have followed the instructions provided by the print shop.
1) File => New 105mm x 148mm
Bleed => 3mm

2) File => Place and resize to fit the "box" to the red outline

3) Save as => PDF

Marks & Bleed
click "trim marks"

The print shop says that they don't see the bleed.
Opening as preview on Mac I don't see the bleed either.

Print and publish

Your bleed is extremely large and will cut off most of the image.

You say you need 3 mm, but you have 33 mm

I thought I had corrected that in the updated version.

Hey Ton, thanks for your help.
I had to fiddle with the Acrobat settings and set it to Acrobat 5.
Then I went into Marks and Bleeds and unclick use document settings. Set the bleeds to 3mm all around to get the bleeds.

When I look at the image in preview, I can see the bleed. Thanks for taking the time to help and at least provide some feedback.
As far as I can see the "Red Box" is filled.

Looks like you solved it, looks good to me.

Apple Preview is a toy.

If you want to do Preflight, you'll need to use Acrobat.

Hey Monika,
Thank-you for your suggestion. I should have mentioned and this is the real issue the print shop said that the bleeds are not showing.
They are not able to use the PDFs for printing. I have a number of files. The print shop can't use them; eventhough, I followed the instructions provided by the print shop.

Are they opening the PDF in Acrobat?

Can you please upload that PDF?
