A couple of months transit time to Phils is perfectly normal, as it goes by sea...otherwise you'd be paying A LOT more money. :)

The ships now all go at slowest speed to cut down on costs :)

:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I've used LBC for over 2 years. I personally watch them seal the boxes and then there should be stickers placed over the top of the box. I trusted LBC :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I used Belwood for a few years, but they seem very slow now. Still waiting for boxs sent in June :NoNo: Im here in Phills permanent now and waiting is driving me crazy:doh.

LBC! :xxgrinning--00xx3: The tracking option in their website isn't working BUT just ask an update through their Facebook page and you would get an answer. I did it a lot of times and they have always replied to my queries. Quite surprising actually :D

We had Lbc collect a jumbo box from us this Tuesday gone....the price is now £ 60...I did ask how long will it take to get to Manila...driver said a shipment leaves every Saturday..journey time is nearly always 25 days.

I think it all depends on where you live...for example, Terpe in Northampton cant get the Lbc Service.

Having said that...Lbc based in Acton have drivers all over the south....the driver who colleced from us this week lives in Bournemouth but that night he was gonna rough it in the van after dropping off his day's collections....then get some shut eye to do it all again following day.....the Merc van he had (Filipino driver) was 2 years old, had already 120, 000 miles on the clock...:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Also its a good idea using lbc for extended holiday in the phils...especially for the like of baby food bottle cleaner travel cots pushchairs etc etc...then when coming back fill another up with goodies you cant get in uk...:D lovely jubbly:D
