That's a fairly good price but I wonder what it is when the promo ends - their Jumbo's aren't as Jumbo as some others at 8.37 cubic foot Forex Jumbo 10 cubic foot. The Forex Promo is 3 x mediums 4.5cu ft each for £100

There's good info here:-

It does depend to a lerge extent who is able to serve your UK location.
Personally I have been using Forex Cargo.

LBC are doing good promo's but I'm not sure which areas outside of London they are serving.

One thing to be wary of , just how much detail you need to document on the forms.
Some times you end up paying extra tax.

Best to keep you descriptions as general as possible.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

i always use tagalog balikbayan services they are very good normally the box is there just over 4 weeks and they are a good price for the size of the boxes.
http://www.tagalogbalikbayan.com/ it depends on your location they cover east anglia as well as oxfordshire, Notts but take a look at their website for the area they cover and the charges

My wife just sent her box using LBC. It cost only £55 and had to go to Matnog Sorsogon which is the most southern area of Luzon and miles away from Manila. I had my doubts it would ever get there but it has! and only took just over six weeks.
