Ha ha . These boxes are the best thing since sliced bread.
Ours will be collected tomorrow by Eugene and should arrive to Davao City in about 6 weeks. He told me the ship will leave October 5 next week.

We have 3 boxes in total and our house has looked like a warehouse these past few weeks.
How many times they've been filled and refilled :doh
Our daughter bought so much stuff during her visit. Especially from the car boot.
And I'm happy to say there's plenty of good stuff for everyone at Christmas.

This time around seems there's no room for my things :doh
Looks like a Eugene will be leaving a couple more boxes when he comes so I can keep stocked up over in Pinas.

You know what Steve, these boxes get stacked and moved around a lot on their long journey, but so far I've had no problems and no breakages. Surprises me when I think of some of the stuff that get pushed in.
On average we send around 4 boxes a year. Usually 2 before Christmas and 2 in the new year.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yeah it is surprising that no damages occur in the transfering & shifting of these boxes.
My wife sends 2 boxes every 6 months its not a bad price considering the wieght & also the distance they have to travel
